Nightshift has an engaging quality in that while full of motion, there is an air of calm in the track. The kick drum and bassline dance around one another in a hurried fashion while restless percussion and blips bustle around in the background like dutiful machines fulfilling their purpose. Yet, the sedate and soothing pads bring a reassuring warmth and humanity to the track. The soft chiming melody rolls through the piece like distant alarms while occasional resonant sweeps sigh like laboured last breaths.
