The track begins with very ‘artificial’ sounds – signposting the style of the track – electronic drums and vinyl record ‘scratching’ in sync.
The production is essentially ‘instrumental’ – meaning it has no vocals. There are a smattering of vocal samples throughout but these also match the ‘artificial’ production style, sounding overtly processed. Instead of a lead vocal there is lead synth melody line that functions as the main hook.
Scratching is used as a lead instrument also.
