“Dance to the Music”--A Trip Back to the Good Old Days

Remember those good old days when music was about letting it all go on the dance floor and having a good time? When we could all take part in joining dance circles without being too self-conscious, even when we resorted to the Tootsie Roll or the Cabbage Patch?

I may not know how to make that Tootsie roll, but I think you get my point. Dance music used to bring us together, moving in unison and expressing through the beat. The music of the 90’s was about feeling good, vibing off your surroundings, and allowing the song to take over. People didn't need all the alcohol, the drugs and the blatant sexuality to have a good time in the club or at a party.

Miss those days? Well, we do, too. But good news! Innermix is here to bring it back with their first single, “Dance to the Music.” 

“Dance to the Music” can't be pigeonholed into one genre, because it encompasses so many styles. Depending on how you hear it, you may walk away calling it Hip Hop, R&B, Dance, Electro, or even Pop. It is the multi-faceted conception of Simply D and Jules’ creative minds, an incredibly fun and energetic electro-club banger that is sure to get anyone back on the dance floor.

Simply D and Jules are excited to have such an upbeat song as their first Innermix single. In D's words, “The song allows us to show that we’re not the super serious, especially because of the radio show where we’re always like, ‘come tell us your troubles, people’. The radio show has helped us establish our morals, but if we’re singing about having a good time, we can spread the message, ‘hey, let’s just be free and have fun, with some responsibility!’”

Simply D and Jules want to remind everyone that you can still have a great time, without the binge drinking, the drug use, and the one-night stands. "Dance to the Music" is about letting loose and connecting with someone through the music, not through substances or sex. In fact, as crazy as it sounds these days, it is possible to let loose and have a good time, while keeping your dignity intact.

“We both miss the 90s and the feel of the music. It was fun. Music still had the undertone of sexuality, but there’s a feel good music and made you want to sing along, not just lose your mind and get high,” emphasize Simply D and Jules. “It was about getting into the emotions and getting into the groove, the fun nature and enjoying the music and its surroundings.”

Isn’t that what dancing in the club should be all about? Why do we have to pass out in the bathroom or throw up all over the toilet to call it a good night? You don't have to be a hot mess to have fun with your friends and spread the positive energy around. Enjoy the music and just dance!

This kind of good, clean fun is what Innermix is all about. Don't take everything so seriously, but be responsible when you shake off your troubles. Feel good spending time with your friends and looking out for each other, and don't worry about looking stupid or foolish while you're getting it on the dance floor. And don't be afraid to laugh, even if it's at yourself. 

When you get to hear “Dance to the Music," you better be close to a dance floor because the urge to break it down will be uncontrollable. But hey, if you're not, that's okay, too; dance the night (or the day) away wherever you are.

Until next time,
