The groove is unmistakable: rubbery basslines, crisp drum-machine patterns, handclaps and percussion locking into a hypnotic, endlessly looping strut. Over the top, the half-sung, half-chanted vocals add a playful party tension that feels spontaneous and street-level, like a late-night club recording caught at full spark.

It’s also a pivotal cut historically — a bridge between disco’s final glow and the raw pulse of early house and electro, sampled, quoted and loved for decades. “Set It Off” remains a pure energy record: simple, direct, and impossible to ignore when it drops.
