Love it or hate it – yes, there really are only two options people – this is the tune destined to be bellowed by the drunk and sunburned and blasted out of builder’s radios all summer long. A ludicrously moronic lyric (sample: Some people think I’m bonkers / But I just think I’m free or A heavy bassline is my kind of silence) that would be cringe-worthy over a moody grime rhythm is slapped into check by the irrepressible pop (dare I say) genius of Armand Van Helden who crafts a bassline hip-house energy flash fully celebrating it’s own stupid vitality, spinning around and falling over like child tripping balls on tartrazine. Dismiss it if you want but those people in the video are definitely having more fun than you. Check it out – I challenge you to meh.
