The Best Song of the Summer: “Planet of the Bass” by DJ Crazy Times and Ms. Biljana Electronica
The summer anthem we’ve all been waiting for is almost here, and it’s called “Planet of the Bass” by the talented duo DJ Crazy Times and Ms. Biljana Electronica. Although the full version is not out yet, I can confidently say that this song is going to be stuck in our heads for a long time.
A Catchy Parody of Eurodance
“Planet of the Bass” cleverly parodies the iconic Eurodance style of artists like 2 Unlimited, Culture Beat, Aqua, and more. The combination of a captivating female lead singer and a gravel-voiced hypeman creates a perfect blend that will make you want to dance along. The music video, filmed at the Oculus in lower Manhattan, gives off a nostalgic “Sandstorm” by Darude vibe, adding to its appeal. It’s no wonder why we are so drawn to Eurovision performances.
Quirky Lyrics and Memorable Messages
One of the standout features of “Planet of the Bass” is its delightfully quirky English-language lyrics. Lines like “When the rhythm is glad, there is nothing to be sad” and “Life, it never dies, women are my favorite guy” bring a unique charm to the song. Not only is it catchy, but it also delivers timely messages about peace and celebrating women.
The Rise of DJ Crazy Times
While DJ Crazy Times, the alter ego of Kyle Gordon, has been entertaining us for years, “Planet of the Bass” is finally giving him the recognition he deserves. His virtual presence on platforms like TikTok, Twitter, and Tumblr has garnered immense anticipation for the release of this song, along with inspiring incredible fan art.
A Perfect Match for Video Games
The teaser for “Planet of the Bass” has revealed an interesting connection to popular video games. It seamlessly fits with the gameplay of “The World Ends With You” and any Sonic the Hedgehog video, especially “Sonic R.” Fans are already speculating about the possibility of modding the song into beloved games like “Jet Set Radio” or the upcoming “Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.”
