"Aint No Sunshine" is a jazz-inspired track which fuses a sensual saxophone sample with soulful vocals washed in psychedelic effects. Built upon an acid bassline and framework of upbeat percussion, it's a forward-thinking piece of dance floor orientated music with timeless elements.

SAQIB's indie dance remix of Aint No Sunshine adds a chunky new bassline and dramatic snare hits. Removing the saxophone, it focuses on the original's vocals and a sparkling new melody synth.

Jacob Groening's remix of Aint No Sunshine is a restructured version of the original with a stripped-back sound that removes the saxophone, which unfolds with a purposeful precision that transforms the track into a streamlined version that's perfect for DJ use.

"Sometimes" has chopped-up guitar chords that fade in and out to create a lo-fi groove that's accompanied by a fluttering saxophone, poignant piano chords and bluesy vocal phrases. The sequenced percussion creates a solid foundation that ties the parts together while filling the track with forward momentum.

Lost Boy's remix of Sometimes is a refined version that pushes back the original's guitar to create a deep atmosphere where the vocals have space to take centre stage. It's a stripped-back version with the addition of an uplifting synth melody that's introduced in the second half of this light and breezy remake.
