Askew's technical prowess shines through with energetic, pulsating basslines that lay a robust foundation.

It crescendos into a massive climax, driven by a manic drumroll that seamlessly introduces new Ibiza club-style synth riffs. These elements are cleverly interwoven with acid overtones, nudging the track towards a more hypnotic, euphoric, yet still dark and sinister trance direction. One of the most commendable aspects of Askew's production is his ability to let each element of the track breathe and develop, all while maintaining a solid underground feel without compromise.
