Sofi Tukker
Dancing On The People
Ultra Music
If youβre looking to dance, or looking for an album that has all different kinds of groove, from geometric to slow burn, to a bouncing house beatβ¦.youβve found it.
Dancing On The People opens with “Swing”, starting with a rising string section that comes back to ground you throughout the song, it only gives way to the lyrics delivered rhythmically in Portuguese, something Sofi Tukker is close to being fluent in.
The groove is never dropped, not once, throughout the whole album. βRinglessβ is a brief reprise dropped into the middle of the album that focuses more on the build than the volume, and itβs the perfect precursor to the best song on the album: βPurple Hatβ.
The groove on this song is undeniable. Itβs clear they know whatβs worked for them in the past, theyβve carried it forward, and weβre all better off for it. The nonsensical lyrics are there to give you something to hold on to while you let go and dissolve into the flow of the song.
I could go on and describe individually, and in great detail, why each song should get a listen but I donβt want to give it away. Just make sure when you press play on this album, youβre ready to dance.
