Speaking about the process of putting the EP together, Schmitt said, "the process was a bit different as we worked with so many different artist. In the dance world it’s special because collaborating and sharing ideas isn’t as rare as say a 'rock or warped' type of world so it was different and a lot of fun."[2] The EP features a melodically driven sound, taking advantage of current dance music trends to deliver mainstream friendly productions.[3]
