The 10-track collection embraces raw drum programming, analogue textures, and bass-heavy compositions. It moves fluidly between peak-time club energy and experimental rhythm studies, traversing sub-genres like techno, house, acid house, grime, and electro.

The album features James Massiah, J. Caesar, Jarren, Touch Sensitive, and , expanding Julien’s sonic universe while remaining anchored in pure groove and movement.
As a primer, Julien shares a ghetto-tech excursion in the form of ’60SS’ – a tantalising after-hours taste of his rhythm-forward new era.
