The very best tune of the summer season is just not solely a joke, it’s not even out but. However it’s “Planet of the Bass” by DJ Loopy Occasions and Ms. Biljana Electronica, and purely based mostly on the 51-second clip uploaded by Kyle Gordon — the alter ego of DJ Loopy Occasions — when it does drop, I’ll by no means get it out of my head. Not solely does it make me need to put my palms up within the air (put my palms up within the air), I agree with its well timed messages: Warfare 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 understand, a typically engaging feminine lead singer supported by a hypeman doing a gravel-voiced semi-rap — however does it so completely that the tune is a legit bop by itself. It doesn’t damage 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 tune’s wonky English-language lyrics (“When the rhythm is glad/There’s nothing to be unhappy,” “Life, it by no means die/Ladies are my favourite man”) are additionally wildly endearing.
DJ Loopy Occasions is a personality that Gordon’s been doing for a couple of years now, however “Planet of the Bass” is rightfully placing the comic within the highlight — the digital one, a minimum of, on TikTok, Twitter, and Tumblr, inspiring not solely rabid anticipation of the upcoming “BASS!” drop, but in addition glorious 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 under). It’s solely a matter of time earlier than somebody mods it into Jet Set Radio or the upcoming Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
