"Pressure (feat. Major Lazer)" by Chase and Status

Curated by: Maddie Swarr

Spotify: [ Ссылка ]

Genre: #moombahton, #dance

Back in the 50’s when rock and roll was just emerging onto the popular music scene, it met a lot of backlash from white, upper-class suburban parents who were afraid that this new sort of “race music” would cause interracial mingling and behavioral deficiencies in their children. They claimed that it had negative effects on human physiology and psychology, that the four-to-the-floor beat could lock in with someone’s heart rate and cause uncontrollable desires to partake in sinful activities like having sex and doing drugs -- or worse yet -- dancing.

As ridiculous as it sounds, the WASPs were right -- well, only about that last part. Music does hold an omnipotent power over us. Believe it or not, I too have experienced an overwhelming desire to dance when the beat is up and the bass is low.

And no other song gets me to move quite like this one. “Pressure” comes off of Brand New Machine, the third studio album from Chase & Status, who geniously team up with Major Lazer to give this track an injection of their signature EDM-reggae fusion concoction that pairs perfectly with the heavy, darker sounds of the English drum and bass duo. Over the course of four and a half minutes, the song transforms itself over various drumscapes and beat patterns, picking up unique accents here and there that range from aggressive gagging sounds to some ominous crow-like cawing. Layer after layer is piled on until it releases into one of the most irresistibly danceable breaks I’ve heard to date.
