Contrary to what many might assume, many DJs prefer playing earlier in the night when people are shuffling in and there is less pressure to make everyone go wild. I'm definitely in that cohort, and tracks that live in the liminal space between music for listening and music for dancing are what I love playing. That's what I was aiming for with this one.
All the samples I used were either recorded (ex: guitar & "catch me outside" vocal) or layered together from various sources. Heavily influenced by Kaytranada, Pomo & Disclosure.
