The very best music of the summer time just isn’t solely a joke, it’s not even out but. Nevertheless it’s “Planet of the Bass” by DJ Loopy Instances and Ms. Biljana Electronica, and purely based mostly on the 51-second clip uploaded by Kyle Gordon — the alter ego of DJ Loopy Instances — when it does drop, I’ll by no means get it out of my head. Not solely does it make me wish to put my palms up within the air (put my palms up within the air), I agree with its well timed messages: Battle ought to cease, and girls are my favourite man.
“Planet of the Bass” parodies Eurodance hitmakers 2 Limitless, Tradition Beat, Aqua, Haddaway, Actual McCoy, Snap!, La Bouche, and others — you already know, a usually engaging feminine lead singer supported by a hypeman doing a gravel-voiced semi-rap — however does it so completely that the music is a legit bop by itself. It doesn’t harm that it’s filmed in a bland location, the Oculus in decrease Manhattan, giving it obscure “Sandstorm” by Darude vibes. It’s principally an encapsulation of why we watch Eurovision.
The music’s wonky English-language lyrics (“When the rhythm is glad/There may be nothing to be unhappy,” “Life, it by no means die/Girls are my favourite man”) are additionally wildly endearing.
DJ Loopy Instances is a personality that Gordon’s been doing for a number of years now, however “Planet of the Bass” is rightfully placing the comic within the highlight — the digital one, not less than, on TikTok, Twitter, and Tumblr, inspiring not solely rabid anticipation of the upcoming “BASS!” drop, but additionally wonderful fan artwork.
Discriminating music followers are additionally confronted with one other realization, because of the “Planet of the Bass” teaser: It suits completely with The World Ends With You gameplay and any video of Sonic the Hedgehog (however particularly Sonic R, within the instance beneath). It’s solely a matter of time earlier than somebody mods it into Jet Set Radio or the upcoming Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
“Planet of the Bass” will probably be launched Aug. 22, however you’ll be able to pre-save it now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and Deezer.
