Practice notes
Deep, hypnotic afro house from South Africa: a soft kick, a swung shaker, a rim-and-clap pattern that barely changes, and space for long pads and vocals. Play it evenly for a long time — it's meant to hypnotise.
The style reference names an influence only; this groove is an original pattern.
