The Sound M.O.B. produced single is his highest charting song to date and has sold 1,000,000 copies digitally.

The song is full of references to this music scene, including the slow, relaxed rhythm of the song.
Depressant A depressant, or central depressant, is a drug that lowers neurotransmission levels, which is to depress or reduce arousal or stimulation, in various areas of the brain. Depressants are also occasionally referred to as "downers" as they lower the level of arousal when taken. Stimulants or "uppers" increase mental and/or physical function, hence the opposite drug class of depressants is stimulants, not antidepressants.
