‘Planet of the Bass’ is our most anticipated song of the summer
The best song of the summer is not only a joke, it’s not even out yet. But it’s “Planet of the Bass” by DJ Crazy Times and Ms. Biljana Electronica, and purely based on the 51-second clip uploaded by Kyle Gordon — the alter ego of DJ Crazy Times — when it does drop, I will never get it out of my head. Not only does it make me want to put my hands up in the air (put my hands up in the air), I agree with its timely messages: War should stop, and women are my favorite guy.
“Planet of the Bass” parodies Eurodance hitmakers 2 Unlimited, Culture Beat, Aqua, Haddaway, Real McCoy, Snap!, La Bouche, and others — you know, a generally attractive female lead singer supported by a hypeman doing a gravel-voiced semi-rap — but does it so perfectly that the song is a legit bop on its own. It doesn’t hurt that it’s filmed in a bland location, the Oculus in lower Manhattan, giving it vague “Sandstorm” by Darude vibes. It’s basically an encapsulation of why we watch Eurovision.
The song’s wonky English-language lyrics (“When the rhythm is glad/There is nothing to be sad,” “Life, it never die/Women are my favorite guy”) are also wildly endearing.

DJ Crazy Times is a character that Gordon’s been doing for a few years now, but “Planet of the Bass” is rightfully putting the comedian in the spotlight — the virtual one, at least, on TikTok, Twitter, and Tumblr, inspiring not only rabid anticipation of the upcoming “BASS!” drop, but also excellent fan art.
