Worthy Issues Booming Tech House With “The Warning”

Public service announcements are meant to save you. On that level, “Warning,” by Dirtybird cofounder Worthy, is an utter failure. Rather than inspiring you to seek cover, it slaps you so hard with a distorted air horn, wobbly and woozy bass, gut-punching kicks, and comet-hot streaking synths that you may find yourself, as the lyrics suggest, stuck to a wall, lost on the floor, or losing control. Dance at your own risk.

Inspired by Worthy’s love for punk and new wave—specifically Talking Heads’ “Once in a Lifetime”—“Warning” flips that track’s signature hook into a riff on different kinds of dancefloor nirvana.

“The experience in a club is so incredible in the way that you can find those ultimately perfect moments where time stops, and everything is in its right place, and the music just overtakes you,” Worthy tells Insomniac. “There are very few other experiences where I have had these feelings.” To push these feelings on yourself, patch this blistering bit of tech house into the aux at your next party, and watch the crowd cast their cares aside. Apocalypse be damned.

Worthy, who has dropped tracks on prime labels like Defected, Insomniac, and Nervous, is issuing “Warning” on his own label, Anabatic Records.

Available September 21 via Anabatic Records.
