The title cut moves at an unhurried, near-Balearic pace with instrumentation to match—drowsy cowbells, a reverberating synth line, effortless sinths and leads and distorted bass thwacks. Chorniy & Rafwat keept the formula interesting with ethereal melodies that drift in and out of the mix, evoking a hazy disco with ghosts on the guestlist.
Danilo Schneider Remix is a secret weapon track if I've ever heard one. Two layers of pulsating string arrangements and spastic woodblock pocks form a dizzying rhythmic assault that boils over at the arrival of a fat bottomed bassline.

Pluto starts with a glissando bassline keeping the simple 4/4 drum pattern chugging along nicely. So far so normal. Before long everything from shuffling snare drums to bells are introduced, but the hypnotic bass keeps everything in shape. The vocal sample two-thirds of the way in feels wrong, but it is short and doesn’t ruin things.
Emerson Todd remix uses all of the fine elements, and spares us the dud, too. Starting in a near identical fashion, sans the bass, it builds up quickly to its peak and stays there for the next five minutes with only the subtlest of shifts in pattern occurring. Like all good tech , neither of these tracks is about any specific part, but rather the combined effect.
