Second up, we've got the title track "Momentum" where Jay is joined by a fellow Dirtybird labelmate, Kill Frenzy. The two, pair up to create a dark and fluid track that goes on for nearly eight and a half minutes. The lengthy techno inspired sounds are far from boring though, yielding an engaging movement from one beat to the next.
