Ben Miller (Aus), BlvckRue 'Sting On My Beat' on Club Bad

At 125 BPM, 'Sting On My Beat' is the fastest of the seven Afro House records this week, whose tempos run from 120 to 125. The track, filed as Afro House, came out on Club Bad in August, running in G minor, Camelot 6A, and Yulia Niko placed it eighth of 20 in her Burning Man Essentials chart on 22 August.

Ben Miller's catalogue includes five releases since April 2022, weighted toward Myth of NYX, with two of them; the most recent before this was 'Wanene', on Armada Music, in May. Harmony does more of the work than percussion here, with a settled pattern running beneath it. It sits loud, with the peaks held tight, and the top end runs temperate, a controlled, driving read that matches its place at the top of the week's tempo range. Eighth of 20 is a solid result for the single fastest record on the list this week.
