Tobango Rhythm

Step in, let the floor breathe in Hands up,

we begin again {DJ-style cut-in,

filtered groove establishing

motif}

You said “tonight”, like it’s a promise I said “alright”,

like I don’t want it But my feet know where to go

We move in time,

we move in close (uh) {full beat in,

bassline takes center, add percussive hooks} Hold it— don’t say my name

yet Let the bassline do the talking One more breath,

then we break (oh) {snare roll build,

filter

opens, tension

up} Tobango—

take me where the beat goes

Tobango— let it hit my ribs close Spin me out,

bring me back All night,

on that downbeat track

Tobango— I don’t need a reason Tobango— make the room

start leaning (oh-oh) {big impact,

heavier

drums, sax

riff hook}

Lights low, we don’t have to talk

Just lean in, let the air get warm If you’re lost,

I’ll find the count (ahhhh)

{strip

to pads and sax phrases,

bring depth} You laugh once,

and I let it happen No big words,

just a little pattern

Now the groove is in my spine

We’re not done, we’re just rewinding (yeah) {return groove with new bass

variation and extra percussion} Don’t

move— wait

for

the

gap Then jump when it comes back

(oh) {bigger riser, drum fills,

pre-drop pause}

Tobango— take me where the beat goes Tobango— let it hit my

ribs close We don’t stop,

we don’t sleep Let the low end run that street (oh-oh)

{harder drums, extra low-end,

extended sax solo}

Tobango…

keep it rolling Tobango… till it’s morning (oh)

{DJ-friendly fade,

keep drums for mixing out}
