Sick bomb! This topped all the dance charts!
A simple vocal, an enthralling riff , a thick and well-compressed sound. And the groove: ups and downs that make the dancing peeps go wild!
"The concept of good dance music implies that it is right for dancing, and not that it is good in its quality of music without function. Here, the judgement is in the pragmatic sense, not the aesthetic one."
(From "What is music?" by german musicologist Carl Dahlhaus)
