Dance tracks over 5 minutes? Yes please. This week’s New Music Friday Dance ensures that the music won’t stop.
1. Dom Dolla, Layton Giordani: “girl$”
On a continuous rise, Dom Dolla releases a remix of “girl$” with Layton Giordani. Full of synths, sass, and sounds reminiscent of the 2010s, this remix is sure to hype up crowds of all sizes. The bass bumps with power as the lyrics repeat, “Girls, don’t need nobody / Girls, don’t need nobody.”
2. Bart Skils, Weska, Joris Voorn: “Something More”
One of the Netherlands’ best in techno, Bart Skils collabs with Weska and Joris Voorn for a remix of “Something More.” The track is dark and narcotic with a rumbling synth line. A voice that mysteriously sings the title appears 1/3 of the way through the track, lightening up the tension.
3. Agents of Time, Camden Cox: “Vertigo”
Tech-house giants of Italy Agents of Time release “Vertigo” with Camden Cox. The track is incredibly dynamic; spacious, yet intimate through the main vocals. The unique panning and uplifting tone of the track make it perfect for festivals (or pretending to be at one).
4. deadmau5: “Input Output”
The revered deadmau5 came back with “Input Output.” The nearly 10-minute track eases the listener in with a slow start of just a percussion line and spotty, laser-y synth hits. Leading up to the 3-minute mark, a bright melody takes over, soon dropping out to make room for a booming bass.
5. Simon Doty: “Push The Tempo”
Another one of Canada’s own, Simon Doty returned with “Push The Tempo.” This tech-house track is driven by sizzling percussion and a sample that tells listeners to “push the tempo.” About 4 minutes into the track, an energetic, industrial synth loop takes over, increasing the overall tension.
