With the various collaborations, Big Gigantic hits various genres within their electronic dance style. 

“Renegade” features Party Pupils in a saxophone heavy song with fun house beats. The wipes of turntables can be heard throughout the dance track. According to Dancingastronaut.com, the song samples A.D.O.R.’s “One For The Trouble”. The line “You know what that means” echoes through the track. This song in particular is reminiscent of DJ Shadow. 

“Just the Same” features VIC MENSA and Mick Jenkins. The track sounds like it came out of an early 2000s hip hop or r&b album. The song includes verses from VIC and Jenkins while over a sample of “Remember the Rain?” by 21 Century, according to Genius. 

Single, “Open Your Mind” features GRiZ in a reggae dubstep track. The higher synth keeps the reggae rhythm going while the deeper synths uphold the buzzing sounds of dubstep. The song is a standout in the album for its genre bending style.
