Discoholic x DATAGIRL - “Blame It On The DJ”

Discoholic and DATAGIRL are a pair of DJ-producers operating in a fresh, funky, and retro-futuristic sphere of electronic music these days. Discoholic is from Washington D.C. and specializes in nü disco and synth funk, while DATAGIRL operates out of Los Angeles, conjuring beguiling vaporwave and dance-pop with a real heart-on-your-sleeve energy. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, they’ve joined forces to unleash the spirited, lovely disco-soaked jam “Blame It On The DJ.”

Here, DATAGIRL’s voice absolutely soars over a tapestry of sleek synths, funky basslines, and groovy beats - bound by hypnotic hooks and playful, longing lyrics galore. There’s a slight ‘80s yacht-rock kick to everything that just makes you feel like you’re letting loose on a dance floor on a boat party in the open sea. Just what the doctor ordered as we trudge on through the dog days of winter.

Both artists have been prolific lately, and this team-up is a potent one. We’ll keep tabs on new stuff from them going forward. In the meantime, get lost in the infectious, breezy grooves of “Blame It On The DJ” below.
