Title track Play The Music kicks off the EP in understated but highly effective style. Forged from a brooding low-down bass with plenty of wiggle this track cuts a heavy mechanical groove through waves of sci-fi effects as it builds and drops.

Funky Junkie pumps up the tempo for a full-on ride through funked-up percussive techno. Centered on a groove of big heavy kicks and jacking snares this inventive vocal track joins the dots between early Chicago house and techno.

Debug completes the EP by taking a more stripped back approach, laying out a minimized tech house outline around which is added a combination of a big bouncing bassline and layers of tribal horns, firing percussion and rising sirens.
