Fucking hell that track is awful. The whole idea of loopy dance music is to come up with a 4 bar loop that's so awesome you can repeat it for 7 minutes. Harris chose a loop that's annoying the first time through that doesn't improve with time.

If you want some new-school disco worth hyping, try Metro Area or Black Devil Disco Club.

.....Better is a 4-bar loop with a different percussion fill at the end of each loop. This guy's idea of a fill is a little gated reverb on one bass note every so often. I liked the sounds ok, except for the whiney lead synth. Maybe what would have worked better is a loud saw wave with a bit of portamento, and a little 8th note stereo slapback echo...

this sure sounds a lot like the "Demo" button on my Casio SK1 keyboard.

I'm not going to bother with any 'loop' or 'bar' talk and simply say this song is really fun on a big system in a club.

I fucking love this song - the BBC has been playing it for months.
Plus, the irony of someone being linked to Kylie who also has a hit song lyric that says, "I got love for you if you were born in the '80s" is delicious. The 40 year old woman that is me says, "Go, Kylie!"

the song is great. screw the haters.

this music is more unoriginal than oasis. at least they ripped off coca-cola and the beatles and stevie wonder; even with all that money, they still sued. how does LCD soundsystem and the arcade fire not get a cut from calvin harris' album sales? 'merrymaking at my place' is an almost verbatim rip-off of 'daft punk is playing at my house.' the latter is by leaps and bounds better than the former.
