description
The instrumental is minimal. The riddim is introduced by the later dominating high pitched bassline accompanied by an intro played by an electronic organ . The bassline from the intro sets the pace during the riddim. It is accompanied by a simple but dominating beat-like melody made up of tones from a TB-303 . This is accompanied by another melody made up of various electronic violins and the electronic organ from the intro. At regular intervals there is a voice sample that gives off bellyas . The sample is contributed by a member of the Ward 21 formation. In the different versions of the artists, additional instruments and melodies are often used.
