so, somehow, in 2023, the newest hit song is a 1990s style eurodance piece called Planet of the Bass (feat. DJ Crazy Times & Ms. Biljana Electronica), and it's not even out yet in full.

i have no idea how this has happened but it's, frankly, incredible. the lyrics, the looks, everything about this is so on point. the nonsense lyrics track extremely well, though perhaps the broken english is a bit gratuitous. it really does add to the charm and catchiness of the song, though, and i find myself constantly thinking about "clapping the hands" or "women are my favourite guy" over the past few days

there's also a nightcore mix of the song, in case that's something you're into. this is incredible in its own way - it's almost more era-approppriate than the original in some ways. there were a lot of artists that sounded like this, i think!

if this leads somehow to a real ass published song with mainstream attention, if the actual full version is as good as the tiktok cut, i'm. it's going to be amazing

update 2023-08-04 i've been informed that last night was the public world premiere of the full version of planet of the bass. hard to make out the first part, it feels very generic but that's honestly par for the course (the entire song is in many ways very generic and that's what's fun about it). seems like the audience enjoyed it!
