Provides an easy ride for the vocal to entwine with as the music elevates with the rise of snake-like synths B1 ‘LayDown’ (Aaaron Vinyl Exclusive Mix) With whiffs of Kraftwerk-like electronics and a rolling percussive underscore , Peter’s vocal bounces across the ever changing groove helped by rhythmic stabs and mysterious drones as the groove gets minimal and sequences motor to the end .
