Throwback Thursday-Dada Life

This week’s Throwback Thursday moves away from American born dj/producers,as it features two Swedish born dj/producers Olle Corneer and Stefan Engblom. This duo has taken the EDM scene by storm by producing big time electro house bangers and throwing the craziest live concerts. Although it seems like there are a myriad amount of Swedish artists in today’s industry that fit that criteria, none have a very legitimate strict set of guidelines pertaining to what is acceptable when it comes to raging at a concert and what is not. Obviously these rules are known as The Rules of the Dada, which also happens to be the name of the studio album which recently just came out by Dada Life. Over the last 3 years this duo has moved up from #89 to #38, and from #38 to #24 in the highly regarded/controversial Dj Mag. The 3 songs featured in this article will be “The Great Fashionista Swindle”,”Dynasty”, and “Unleash the F**king Dada.”

The Great Fashionista Swindle

The first song of the article is always the oldest song because it helps the reader hear how the producers change their style throughout the years so that they can establish some longevity in the industry.  The Great Fashionista Swindle was released way back in 2007 which seems like ages ago. One can clearly hear how much they have changed from 2007 to 2011 by listening to this song and then hearing “Unleash the F**cking Dada.”

Dynasty (Dada Life Remix) 

It is hard to remix a Kaskade song and make it better, but Dada Life pretty much accomplished that as a couple of weeks after their remix of “Dynasty” was released, Kaskade was dropping it in every show he performed at for the rest of the year. The drop of this song is what a typical Dada Life drop is like, as it can be classified as very heavy electro consisting of heavy bass synths which is guaranteed to make the dance floor uncontrollably shake and wobble.

Unleash the F**cking Dada 

This song can be considered as part of the start of the new era of Dada Life bangers which captivated the EDM industry in 2011. The music video has a lot of bananas and champagne which is exactly what one would find at a Dada Life concert. It is not recommended to watch this music video before going to sleep because it is rather disturbing yet it somehow embodies and represents what Dada Life is all about.
