The very best track of the summer time isn’t 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 wish to put my palms up within the air (put my palms up within the air), I agree with its well timed messages: Struggle ought to cease, and ladies 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 track 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 mainly an encapsulation of why we watch Eurovision.
The track’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.

Discriminating music followers are additionally confronted with one other realization, because of the “Planet of the Bass” teaser: It matches 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.
