tofubeats -- Angels on the Dance Floor

By  Studio Roosegaarde via Wikimedia Commons

It's been decades since I was on the dance floor on a Saturday night. Barely remembering things from that period, once a great song hit the speakers, it was everyone rushing to the floor all at once to move that body without causing any major collisions. "Bizarre Love Triangle" by New Order was one of the favourites.

Speaking of which, I just encountered this latest by singer/producer/track maker tofubeats titled "Angels on the Dance Floor" which came out as a digital single only yesterday. The music video looks like an ancient game from the old PlayStation 1 and the plot reminds me of something rather Kafka as developed by either Rod Serling or Alfred Hitchcock. But lest it get too dark, the young lad here is only getting riled up because everyone around him is getting into a great dance groove. He eventually "gets" it and everything is happy again.

Keeping things within this rather nostalgic twilight zone, even the arrangement of "Angels on the Dance Floor" is reminiscent of dance music from a few decades ago. If I'm not mistaken, the song seems to be following some old-fashioned House lines. I'm hoping some of the more dance-oriented commenters on KKP can confirm or deny my statement. By the way, below is the KIRARA mix of the tune. Enjoy it with your Tamagotchi!
