Undertone’s Silly Fly takes listeners on an electrifying sonic journey that begins with a long, haunting introduction. The track steadily builds momentum, drawing you deeper into its ethereal world before erupting into a high-energy, dreamy electronic masterpiece. With its futuristic soundscape, Silly Fly is powered by solid, driving beats that make it an undeniable dancefloor anthem. Its fast-paced rhythm pulses with vibrant energy, while minimal, atmospheric sections offer a striking contrast, adding depth and intrigue. This is a track destined to ignite dancefloors, delivering a perfect blend of intensity and atmosphere.
Benoni-based EDM producer Undertone has resurrected one of his most memorable early tracks with the release of Silly Fly – a track that began as a 1999 experiment and is now back in a fast-paced, whimsical 2024 remake at 150BPM. Originally inspired by a short poem about a fly, Silly Fly captures the quirky spirit of the original while introducing a whole new tempo and drive.
Back when the song was first recorded at 75BPM, it was a slower, playful tune. Now, in Undertone’s latest iteration, Silly Fly flies with double the speed in C major, giving listeners an energetic beat that complements its humorous subject matter. “It’s as silly as the title,” says Undertone, “but there’s nothing quite like it out there.” Unique and catchy, this track highlights Undertone’s knack for combining unexpected sounds with EDM’s high-energy pulse.
Listeners can expect a distinctive blend of sounds, starting with a steam train’s roar as it blends into the kick. This rhythmic buildup sends the fly on a daring journey—but as the beat rises, it becomes clear the fly’s fate might be sealed. The accompanying music video amplifies this playful story, showing the poor insect repeatedly getting squashed in sync with the track’s tempo shifts.
Silly Fly is now available on streaming platforms, ready to deliver a unique experience for EDM enthusiasts and fans of Undertone’s signature, adventurous sound.
