Episode notes
Studio Spark With Skrillex
- Kimbra started the song at Skrillex's studio after meeting him at Coachella and experimenting with his trance-like beat.
- She recorded low textural mouth vocals that Skrillex immediately liked and began layering them into the track.
From Demo To Ownership
- Kimbra let the track circulate among rappers and assumed she'd write hooks while others took verses.
- When nothing stuck she experimented further and decided to pursue the song herself with a more rhythmic vocal approach.
John Congleton's Structural Fix
- Producer John Congleton joined when the song was drums and drone and helped make it cohesive.
- He added a heavy 808 and snare that transformed the track into something you could really bump to.
