notes
Another New Zealand import that outperformed its UK/US chart run on the Australian charts. The bassline is a tight, monophonic synth pulse doubling the drum groove note for note, square-wave punchy rather than round, with just enough glide between repeated notes to feel played rather than sequenced.
