Venno keeps it simple and effective on “How I Walk”
“How I Walk,” the new single by Venno, stands out for the simple but well-executed idea of taking a classic jerk rhythm and giving it a different atmosphere through a chopped and repeated vocal that acts as the core of the entire song. The result is a track that moves forward with clarity and is sustained by a constant sense of motion.
The song comes from a very concrete process. Venno begins with a simple pad and a vocal, cutting them up, rearranging them, and building a sample that becomes the track’s identity. That texture floats over the beat without overwhelming it, giving the song a more relaxed feel while still maintaining the direct pulse that defines jerk.
The phrase “how I walk” appears naturally and ultimately sets the direction for the entire song. Its fit with the rhythm is so precise that everything else is organized around that moment. From there, the track develops smoothly, without abrupt changes or complex structures.
This release is also important because it marks the first collaboration in Venno’s catalog, featuring Yovng Patron. His phrasing and vocal energy add dynamism to the track and prevent it from feeling flat. The exchange between both artists keeps the listener engaged from start to finish.
In terms of production, “How I Walk” sticks to the essentials. The beat relies on basic elements like kick, clap, snare, vocals, and 808, which keep the rhythm raw and consistent. There are no unnecessary layers or distracting embellishments. Everything serves the groove and the main sample.
“How I Walk” shows that there’s no need to complicate a structure to make an effective track. It’s direct, cohesive, and has a clear identity, making it a solid step forward in Venno’s trajectory.
