On their debut collaboration, the producers channel their distinct flavors of cool into a tech house cut with an extraterrestrial sheen.
Ever wonder what a tech house alien fantasy sounds like? The niche question finds its answer in Dom Dolla and Tiga’s debut collaboration, “Don’t Worry Baby,” a rousing “record about hope” that there’s something better out there – even if it’s out of this world, as the Aussie producer puts it.
The track, Dolla wrote on Instagram, is about “hoping that aliens actually exist and that one day they’ll take us from this planet; away from AI slop, insane leaders, manosphere influencers, microplastics, and dopamine hijacking.”
“Don’t Worry Baby” distinguishes itself in both concept and execution, fusing the collaborators’ distinct flavors of cool into a sleek cut that glides just as smoothly as a ride in one of the flying cars its lyrics imagine. That, Dolla says, is exactly what it was built to do:
‘It’s an incredible honor to collaborate with an artist like Tiga. A timeless voice we all recognize, whose records have been remixed for decades. When we got together, it felt right to write a track that reflected the dance floors I was playing at the time, specifically a massive stadium in Sydney.’
While we await the aliens’ signal, Dolla and the HOTLIFE album maker will be preparing to detonate this one at Movement Detroit’s closing party at the Russel Industrial Center on May 25, where Green Velvet and Syreeta will also tend the decks.
