Music

Along with Netsky's signature drum and bass sound, the album also incorporates elements of other genres. Dancing Astronaut pointed to the "hip-hop hybrid" of "Blend", the influence of hardstyle on "Look at Me Go" and "disco energy" of "Don't Care What People Say". [1]

Artwork

Netsky chose the artwork, a photograph taken of him, his father and his dog on a mountain "somewhere in southern France when [he] was seven or eight", due to being heavily influenced by listening to his father's collection of soul music records when he was growing up. Netsky said he wanted "to grasp that feeling again" on the album, although he acknowledged that the influence of soul is "definitely not all over the record. Maybe 40 or 50% is really soulful and has winks to soul music, but the other half is very dance floor". [2]
