Dillon Francis & DJ Snake – Get Low

From the windows to the walls?

[4.83]

Will Adams: Well, it is a similar tempo to the Lil Jon classic. A mashup would have helped this. As it stands, it’s in your face but a bit on the nose.

Brad Shoup: Lean Big Beat, with gimmicks from the last fifteen years or so (the title phrase is total Fatboy) mulched up and spread a sixteenth of an inch thick. A dancefloor interstitial killer.

Patrick St. Michel: For what it is, it’s… on point. It builds up to the point where the audience is commanded to do something, and then it switches into a chirpy portion where people can presumably do exactly that. But that’s it, and it’s more of a headache than 90 per cent of the other songs doing he same thing. So, watch me “get low” indeed.

Katherine St Asaph: Like watching a festival set from a sidewalk fenced off from the field. And judging by the faux-Middle Eastern sequencer bullshit, in questionable clothes.

Anthony Easton: I love the energy of this, and that space in the middle, which acts as a bit of a rest, before the pummeling starts again. Would be even better with an actual whistle, but that might have been too on the nose.

Alfred Soto: OK, so its creators play slithering lines on their keyboards and sequencers, but the fading and samples sound like they’re played between a midday set at Ultra.
