With SQR, electronic producer mxguinness makes a statement that is both confident and undeniably commanding, a seven-minute immersion that grabs you by the ears and refuses to let go until it’s finished with you. Released via Northscape, the track reflects years spent inside clubs, behind decks, and across cities, distilled into a groove that feels disciplined and deeply physical.

From its opening moments, SQR establishes intent through precision rather than excess. Hard-driving rhythms anchor the track, while a tightly controlled low end provides a foundation that feels engineered for serious sound systems. This is music that understands space and restraint. Every element has room to breathe, yet nothing drifts. The pulse is steady, hypnotic, and insistent, inviting the listener to surrender to repetition as something meditative rather than monotonous. The trance you’re about to be under hits in about 10 seconds.

What makes SQR especially great is the sense of his evolution within limitation. Pulsing synths form the spine of the track, subtly shifting in texture and intensity as the minutes unfold. Rather than chasing big drops or dramatic pivots, mxguinness allows momentum to build naturally, trusting groove and structure to do the heavy lifting. You have to be patient, but the ride is 100% worth taking.

Echoes of house, electro house, midtempo, and trance weave through the arrangement, not as overt references but as muscle memory of his past. These influences surface in the way the groove locks in, the way tension is held rather than released, and the way emotion emerges from repetition. There’s an understated warmth here, an emotional undercurrent that balances the track’s outstanding precision.

At seven minutes long, SQR never overstays its welcome, and in fact, it flies on by. It creates a self-contained world that feels designed for losing track of time. It’s upbeat without being frantic and honestly trusts the listener enough to get into it on their own. The production is masterful, clean, and powerful, emphasizing impact over gimmicks. This is club music that respects the your intelligence and stamina, rewarding those willing to stay inside its rhythm.

It doesn’t shout for attention, but it commands it through focus and control. Built to be danced to, yes, but also to be felt, the track succeeds as both a functional club weapon and a deeply immersive listening experience. Whether you’re listening with headphones or this gets popped on at an underground club, it’s completely versatile.
