An agent of groove, Dean Griffin has always boasted a kaleidoscopic and uplifting artistry. Lately, though, his artistic output has been shifting more and more towards disco, funk and soul territories, even sharing a certain retro quality. It’s all part of the Californian talent’s personal evolution, a journey that started in indie pop and electronic settings in 2019.
Griffin’s latest single will surprise you positively: ‘GET DOWN’ is a euphoric, dancy disco gem, directly drawing on the staple formulas of the genre in order to create a listening experience that feels contemporary yet authentic.
Simple drums are layered by artificial claps, further complemented by the eclectic bassline, taking centre stage and driving the song forward. Vintage disco vocals and harmonies are the finishing touches, really pushing the record into Saturday Night Fever territory. Of course, the overall structure is still based on modern pop, with the song letting a charming synth solo kickstart the last chorus, packed with hits and hooks. What more could you want?
Describing the inspiration behind GET DOWN. Griffin explains: “GET DOWN’ is simply a track for people to dance to. It’s about just letting loose and grooving with however the music makes you feel.”
