Manchester-based EDM DJ and producer Galactus Jack continues the build-up to the forthcoming 'Younger Days' album with this, the second of three digital releases. Part I was a four-track EP released in March 2017 and Part II sees the release of a double A-Side single featuring tracks "Lay It Down" and "100". "Lay It Down" features the vocal talents of Philippa Hanna and the track opens with just the vocals over a simple synth chord progression. That chord progression continues throughout the song providing a common thread throughout as the beats and synth lines rise and fall around it. This is a real summer party anthem with the euphoric chorus providing a perfect contrast to the mellow verses. There is a lot going on musically with so many different lines dropping in and out but the chords running throughout ensure it all fits together and flows. "100" is another track with a summer party vibe, featuring the vocals of Dawn Elektra. The message of the song is clear, powerful and encourages all to not give up on Jesus in every situation of life - "Hands in the sky/You're bigger than this trial."
