Awesome Dance Music

I’m a drinker, I’m a smoker, I’m a loser, I’m a poet… yeah I got some bad habits and I think you should know it. Fatboy Slim’s disco-backed collab with Dan Diamond and Luca Guerrieri speaks volumes about how just being a celebrity doesn’t make you a role model for others. The music video features questionable deepfakes of celebs singing the lyrics.

The second single from Empire of the Sun’s new album Music on the Radio is as good as nu-disco gets. The Aussie duo describes the smooth and groovy track as “a love song to the underground, to celebrate all the underdogs of music and how everything can lift you up and take you to great places.” We couldn’t agree more.

CLMC Music takes us on a trip back to the 1990s with a medley of synthesizer riffs from hit tracks of the era. His performance packs in familiar bits of 18 tunes from bands like C+C Music Factory, Snap, Eiffel 65, Haddaway, Technotronic, and MC Hammer. If this doesn’t get you dancing at your desk, nothing will.

After collaborating on Wide Open, The Chemical Brothers and Beck have reteamed for Skipping Like a Stone. To accompany the ethereal dance track, they enlisted directorial team Pensacola and master stone-skipper Kurt Steiner for a video that starts out soothing then amps up the energy as a skipped stone takes an incredible journey.

To celebrate his “We’ve Come a Long, Long Way Together” tour, DJ and recording artist Fatboy Slim has released the first in a series of mix tapes on his YouTube channel. For 12 Fridays starting 8.13.2021, he will drop a series of dance mixes from his extensive music collection, kicking off with Roland Clark’s Glad You’re Home.

Director Jack Antoine Charlot’s music video for S+C+A+R+R’s groovin’ dance track features a singular character with some mad dance moves. Because the motion is so incredibly smooth, it’s hard to tell where the CGI animation and live dancer begin and end. Remember, now is a great time to perfect your own choreography at home.
