The hook line of "Playboy Style" is carried by a bright detuned synth lead that answers the vocal in the chorus, filter opens on the drop into the final chorus. Clean Bandit's later-period rig, per Jack Patterson's What Is Love? credit line ("synths, MIDI guitar, keyboards, guitar synth, bass synth, programming"): Roland JD-XA and Nord Stage alongside Serum/Sylenth1 leads, Trilian bass, and Omnisphere pads layered with Grace Chatto's cello and house strings.
