The work simulates the sound of a skipping CD. The chorus line of the disco tune 'That’s the way I like it' was chopped up into short fragments, the order of the fragments rearranged and the result written out as a score. The score is performed live by a group of nine musicians.

A recording of a performance was pressed on a vinyl EP, containing a number of run-out grooves. After playing for sometime the needle inevitably ends up stuck in one of these run-out grooves. A technical glitch, which acted as the original stimulus for the piece, is thus reintroduced as a compositional feature of a new medium, blurring the line between mechanical loop and organic repetition.
