04.Jan.2010 The Best Song of 2009
It had to happen, we had to pick one, one song that we thought most changed music this year.
We voted. Here it is.
With a snappy 4 bar snare solo buildup we get…
Pon de Floor!
Major Lazer’s debut single “Pon De Floor” literally took the world by storm this year. Major Lazer, the collaboration of Diplo and Switch, immidiately became the face of club dance music. Since it’s debut it seems like every DJ at any club will drop this. Nearly everything about it is perfect. The high synth is, I mean c’mon, fucking awesome. The kick drum hits SOO hard. The vocal sample is just foreign enough for people to REALLY wanna know what they’re saying but when it comes down to it all they need is “PON DE FLOOR!”. Along with being an incredible song, it marked the emergence of Electronic Dance Music to the main stream. Popular radio statioes like Power 106 in Los Angeles already have it in regular rotation. Pon De Floor took what EDM people love and made it globally accessible. Now Dancehall Music and is swiffering the nation with every other genre of EDM behind it. Pon de Revolution bitches.
