Essentials: “Double Drop” – Partiboi69

Partiboi69’s latest release, “Double Drop,” reinforces his core image of embracing hedonistic party values, further cementing his unique musical and artistic persona. With “Double Drop,” Partiboi69 masterfully blends his own vocals, prominently looped throughout the track, adding an extra dimension of groove over an already vibrant, bouncy beat. This track is the definition of organised chaos and it is certain to be heard all over music festivals this summer.

The music video, directed by Tom Clover, pays homage to various iconic movies and music videos from the late 90s to the early 2000s. Clover draws inspiration from films such as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Human Traffic, as well as influences from Jamiroquai and The Prodigy music videos.

While not explicitly stated, the title’s double entendre and imagery in the video emphasize the euphoric, danceable energy of Partiboi69’s music. The news clips strewn throughout the music video are a playful spin on stuffy drug-epidemic broadcasts, instead implying that Partiboi69 is a global groove phenomenon, taking over the world with his infectious beats. These elements collectively suggest that he is here to loosen everyone up and create an atmosphere where judgment is set aside in favour of pure, unadulterated enjoyment.

Partiboi69, an Australian music producer known for his electrifying and unapologetically fun style, began his career on YouTube with quirky videos. He gained prominence with his STINGZONE sets, which feature live performances accompanied by skits with various electronic DJs against a dynamic green screen backdrop of unique and obscure imagery, that embodies his bold persona. These sets would often be filmed in 480p as an homage to the early 2000s nostalgia and the party music of that generation, these sets further enhance his distinctive character. Notable STINGZONE guests include KETTAMA, MCR-T, and DJ HEARTSTRING. He’s recently debuted his vinyl-only debut Radio 1 Essential Mix, an electrifying b2b set with Kettama at Coachella (their Ketboi69 US debut), playing Panorama Bar and taking his live show to DGTL, Paaspop and Movement festivals. Next up is HARD Summer with KETTAMA, where Partiboi69 will keep the party going by bringing his raucous sound.
