I think I finally understand New Rave

Turn up your speakers for "Sweaty" by Muscles.

When people started throwing the term "New Rave" around, this is what I was expecting. Things that were neon and helium and punkily obnoxious. The vocal tracks here are just about as annoying/wonderful as the lyric "Peace Love Ecstasy/Unity Respect," and when the very very French Touch synth line ricochets between the discopunk bass and Balearic drums at the end, it's very nearly the best thing 2007 has on offer. Blog house can basically pack up and go home now.

Pity the video plotzes all over the place, though.
