With a rather confusing name given its energy, 5ON5’s ‘Dont Dance’ is euphoric in every sense of the word. The enthralling electronic pop anthem is effortlessly cool, infectious to a fault, and groovy without compromising its energy. Combining elements of classic EDM, melodic rap, and a more contemporary pop chorus with elements of future pop, 5ON5’s eclectic spin of electronic music is as sumptuous as it is soothing. The four piece outfit from Berlin have made a tune that’s antithetical to its title with its playful vibe and jovial video. It’s overflowing with colour, resplendent and unabashed in its purity of feeling.
An atmospheric piece of dance music that’s appropriate for the times, ‘Don’t Dance’ playfully picks up on the state we all find ourselves in today. Simultaneously grappling with being told to not go out dancing and now realising that maybe these restrictions might finally be all coming down, it offers a simultaneously soothing and energizing atmosphere that is bound to set you in the right mood for this new year. A special one, undoubtedly.
