Keep Hush Live: New World Audio
Scar Duggy's Keep Hush Live set for New World Audio throws the 'Fitness & Workout' genre tag out the window and delivers a vibrant, rhythm-driven session of house and afrobeat influences. The energy is uplifting, the room likely lit with warm hues, bodies moving to the 133.8 BPM groove with a smile rather than a snarl—a welcome respite from the usual techno grit. Technically, the set sits comfortably in keys like 12A and 7A, using harmonic progressions to maintain a smooth, flowing vibe that feels both organic and expertly curated.
With low-end at 55.3% and mid at 41%, the balance is perfect for dancefloor functionality—enough bass to move you, enough melody to keep you hooked, all while avoiding the fatigue of relentless highs. Scar Duggy's mixing is fluid and intuitive, transitioning from Echodelic's 'Voices From India' with its ethnic samples to the contemporary afro-pop of Davido's 'Owo Ni Koko' without a hitch. Crate highlights include the opening track 'Voices From India', which sets an exotic, hypnotic tone, Mina's 'Make Money' for its catchy vocal hook and driving percussion, and Chuckie's 'Move It 2 The Drum' for its peak-time house energy that builds the room to a frenzy.
The journey begins with the hypnotic loops of 'Voices From India', builds through the infectious rhythms of 'Owo Ni Koko', and closes with Glo's 'TRIGGA', a track that ties everything together with a modern, percussive punch, leaving us in a state of joyful motion.
