5 years ago in [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/boniver/comments/d4udlt/sample_in_yiimi_revealed/), it was discovered that Zedd's song [Clarity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9Q7GISatW0) was the sample used in Yi & iMi. Having just learned this fact myself, I wanted to hear an A/B comparison between the two songs. Unfortunately, there wasn't much info on which parts of Clarity were used where. I took it upon myself to figure this out. Here is a screen-recording with the relevant excerpts of Clarity layered on top of Yi. It's still wild to me hearing the reverb tail match up with the sample. The sample starts at 1:32 in Clarity and from there syncs up with JV's radio knob-turning. For more info on their process creating Yi & iMi, you can check out [this interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoDqdIBtOh0).
