Agnis – Dark Dancer

Dance command from the darkness: Agnis' “Dark Dancer” seduces the gothic scene

With “Dark Dancer”, Polish artist Agnis deliv­ers an ener­get­ic track that turns out to be an ode to the dark side of dance music. Throughout the song, dark wob­bling sound effects appear again and again, cre­at­ing a mys­ter­i­ous atmo­sphere. From the 44th second, the drums build up a cap­tiv­at­ing ten­sion that cul­min­ates in an intense drop – a moment that inev­it­ably makes the dance floor shake.

Agnis uses strong vocal effects that I per­son­ally find too arti­fi­cial and not really to my taste, but it is pre­cisely these that con­trib­ute to the mys­tic­al aura of the track. In the con­text of dance­able, dark pop, this styl­ist­ic approach is entirely appro­pri­ate. The lyr­ics "Let us dance!" emphas­ise the lib­er­at­ing, almost cel­eb­rat­ory nature of the song, which calls on us to aban­don ourselves to the night hours and for­get all our worries.

Despite the crit­ic­al com­ment on the vocal effects, ‘Dark Dancer’ remains a strong rep­res­ent­at­ive of the genre, which with its dynam­ic pro­duc­tion and catchy beats is sure to appeal not only to the goth­ic scene.

Lyrics of "Agnis – Dark Dancer"

What a per­fect time
What a per­fect place
When night is offering
Her moth­er-like embrace

Don't you worry
Don't be shy
Free your body
Now's the time!

This is the night to release all your power
Let us dance!
This is the night to ful­fil your desires
Let us dance!
This is the night, no more lies, no denying
Let us Dance!
This is the night, noth­ing stops you from flying
Let us dance!

Now you're shin­ing bright
Children of the night
You've made mama proud
You arе just enough[Pre-Chorus]
Do your best now
Have fun, play
My Dark Dancеr
Time to slay!

This is the night to release all your power
Let us dance!
This is the night to ful­fil your desires
Let us dance!
This is the night, no more lies, no denying
Let us Dance!
This is the night, noth­ing stops you from flying
Let us dance!

This is the night to release all your power
Let us dance!
This is the night to ful­fil your desires
Let us dance!
This is the night, no more lies, no denying
Let us Dance!
This is the night, noth­ing stops you from flying
Let us dance!
Let us dance!
