The first thing that hits is the piano. Not a polite, background piano, but one that feels like it has something to say. It cuts through the mix with a kind of rawness, almost like Stefan Makepeace sat down and played until it hurt a little. *Break Me* feels alive because of that - the chords aren't just there to decorate the beat, they drive it forward.

The drums stay steady, letting the piano carry most of the emotion. Then, little by little, other textures slip in. A low synth hum, a hi-hat that seems to whisper rather than snap. It's not crowded, which I like - there's room to breathe, to let the piano hang in the air for a second before the next hit comes.

I kept catching myself imagining this in a late-night set. Somewhere in that moment when a crowd has gone quiet but still won't leave. It has that push and pull: almost uplifting, almost sad. The title says *Break Me*, but I think it's more about finding out what happens after the break.

It's House music with its heart wide open - and that piano just won't let go.
