Effects Panning is used to place sounds in the stereo field (e.g. panning on the piano introduction creates a sense of movement from left to right and back). There are 'electronic ghostings' on the male vocal sample when it first comes in- these are remnants of the backing singers in the original sample. Reverb and delay are used throughout the track- the reflection of sound off surfaces to give the impression of space. (you can hear the effects of these in the one-bar breakdown). In the second verse, echoes of the voice are created through delay. Uses sub-bass which has a frequency too low for us humans to hear but provides vibrations onto the dance floor so there is an emphasis on the beat so it is easy to dance to. The echoes have been processed with EQ to remove the lower frequencies, sounding a bit like listening to a voice on the telephone.
