My hips were moving before my brain caught up. That is the honest report on ‘Connor’s Groove’, the new one linking Connor Walker, Midnight McBride and Nick Hussey. Three names, one track, all of them leaning into the same bounce.
At 128 BPM it never rushes, it struts. The low end walks instead of stomps, round and rubbery, and a filtered stab keeps ducking in and out until you are nodding without deciding to. It is all pocket. I keep restarting it just to feel that groove lock back in from the top. This is funky house doing exactly what the name promises.
It came out on Muscle Funk, a label built for this exact strain of groove-driven house, and it charted straight into Beatport’s Top 100 Releases, so the floors clearly found it first. Dig into what each of these three is running lately: Connor Walker, Midnight McBride, and Nick Hussey.
Save it for the Saturday kitchen clean with the volume up past neighborly, or the hour of the night when the room finally loosens up. Out now, July 17, on Muscle Funk. Turn it up and let the pocket take over.
