About this time in 2019, I was hospitalized with a burst appendix where I waited 48 hours to have an operation while they kept me hopped up on painkillers so they could run up the bill with unnecessary tests and then proceed to re-diagnose my pre-existing condition based on a MRI that can only be diagnosed through a lumbar puncture. That doctor went on to become the Republican nominee for the House and lost his ass in a major landslide.
In fact, our entire district in GA flipped from red to blue all the way down to dog catcher. While I ripped him a new one (after the operation because I’m not stupid) and embarrassed the living shit out of him in front of his colleagues, I took some solace in the grifter’s epic loss.
Little did I know at the time that the new year was only going to get worse save that single glimpse of hope during the election.
There’s no doubt that 2020 will go down as one of the most memorable if not worst years on record. Surprisingly, dance music has been a shiny beacon atop the hill providing stability if not sanity.
2020 is the year of the Disco comeback, which provided a bit of escapism to the new daily routines that were mapped out by mother nature. Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” kicked it off to great applause that was quickly followed by Doja Cat (“Say So”) and Lady Gaga (“Rain On Me”). Surprisingly, these songs and/or albums were already in the can before the pandemic hit and acted as a breath of fresh air for our current stale musical landscape. Talk about foresight.
It was also the year that dance music became more reflective as songs like “ily (i love you baby)” by Surfa Mesa, “Secrets” by Regard & Raye, “Breaking Me” by Topic & A75 and “Looking For Me” by Paul Woolford, Diplo & Kareen Lomax stepped up to massive success where MEDUZA, Becky Hill and Goodboys left off at the end of 2019 with “Lose Control.”
For such a shitty year, dance music had a lot to offer in these sobering times.
The Blow Your Own Horn series generally acts as the last kiss-off to the current year while welcoming the incoming one. Most of the year’s biggest hits included in this set have been mashed-up with the octave level turned-up high. There’s a few new notable tracks and bucket load of classics that have been juiced-up and reimagined with 10 servings of Monster drinks. The energy level is purposely high which should give rise to saying one final FUCK YOU to the year we’d sooner forget.
I want to thank each and everyone of you who have continued to support our mission to bring you the finest in dance music — you mean the world to me. I wish you all a very healthy, happy and prosperous new year. Until next year…PARTY LIKE IT’S 2021 and ENJOY!
