This is HANDS DOWN my favorite track from Elijah Nang's latest album Gaijan 3000.

Rhythmically it effortlessly stands out especially since it draws from Garage and/or Breakbeat, and what I find so damn fascinating is that you can never really tell when the snare is about to strike by virtue of the constant surprises we're welcomed too. The pads that slowly swell in the background have lush feeling to them, and towards the end this is beautifully complimented by the presence of a airy distant flute.
