Don't Go Lose This

EAN 4250101405655
“DON’T GO LOSE THIS!” Lose what? Disco heaven? Techno utopia? Our fantasy of a global dancefloor where all tribes come together’? Unease creeps over me every time I see the image of today’s DJs offered on social media. Festivals whose lineups look like a stack of labels at a shopping mall, the same 500 robots bobbing their heads in every live stream, the rigid drone of cut & paste, beardy bros and tacky influencers buying likes + views + careers produced by others in the shadows. Identity politics signalling diversity, but delivering only auditory monotony. It feels a lot like the TV news – you never know who or what is real these days. Anybody can do this, right? It’s no coincidence that most events now resemble populist rallies of certain politicians. Thousands stare in one direction, raise their arms and scream on cue at the sound of nothing happening. What’s the message? Are the masses always right? Who needs dictators when the so-called party has become a ubiquitous loop of conformity and commodification? Who still cares about sharing a real dancefloor with other humans which you can meet again? Some of us, maybe, somewhere. No branding, no selfies – this world isn’t worth living in if people can‘t feel free for a moment, just for the joy of it and the spirit inside. Don‘t go lose this dream, baby. Yours truly, Danny the Dancer

description

Maestro's Select

Daniel Wang’s new release has a pressing message, a screed against social media and modern DJ culture written on the B-side's centre label. The presentation lends Wang's words a certain urgency, and while you might not agree with what he has to say about selfies, "festivals whose lineups look like a stack of labels at a shopping mall" and "careers produced by others in the shadows," there's a pressing feel to "Don't Go Lose This." Both versions, which samples Hugh Masekela's 1984 classic "Don't Go Lose It Baby," are classic Wang: fizzy synth lines, addictive vocals and a spaced-out smear of reverb. He might be angry, but this record suggests that everything is going to work out in the end.
