PART 1
Yele - Original Mix - the track starts off with an upbeat tribal drum beat laser-like toms and buzzsaw effects that give you a sense of anticipation. Calling out an island party has never been better than this track. You enter into another level as the track progresses into a wider array of buzzsaw effects, vocal melodies, and distant tribal calls that intensify the deep club vibe as the song progresses. The buzzsaw sounds eventually flatten and fade like radio static. The track trickles off at the end with a slowly distancing tribal drum beat and the plucking of strings to the beat.

Ikeja-Yela (Almo Mix) - a mix of tribal and syncopated synths with a deep metallic house vibe of Afro House starts off the track. There is a wide array of vocals going back and forth in the background, while the strings pluck quickly while high wind notes tease in the distance. While it slowly progresses into a wonderful crescendo at the 5-minute mark. While ending with that metallic beat as if the track is counting down to the end of the night. Several vocals blend and clash in the background while the beat thumps along with bell sound to count down the end of the song.

Ikeja-Yele(SoulKiD BDub Afrospects MIX) - Hammering intro with the banging bassline. The track starts off with deep bass and some subtle vocal soul. Slowly adding some elements distant laser-like beats as it transitions into the soulful vocals with the build-up at the 3-minute mark. The ambient sounds build up with the hammering bass, resonating high hats, and distant ambient laser beams. The track is a heightening experience as you listen from start to finish. The beats make you feel as if you are being launched to another layer of the atmosphere and into outer space, where you end up floating and falling at the same time as the song ends.
