How to play it and where it comes from
Future bass (Flume, Illenium, San Holo) between 140 and 160, in half time (75): snare and clap on 3, kick on 1 and the "and" of 3. The identity is in the supersaw chords with very strong sidechain that "pump" on every quarter note or eighth, and in the pitched vocal chops. Eighth-note hats with trap rolls and light swing (15). Variants: triplet snare rolls in the build, kick removed in the drop to let the chords breathe, double-time sections.
