“All I Can Feel” by DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ

DV:

It’s taken a couple decades, but DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ has finally answered the question no one asked: What would it sound like to build an entire career out of The Avalanches’ “A Different Feeling” and Daft Punk’s “Digital Love”? Turns out you get three hour albums exclusively made up of vibes: the perfect soundtrack for a party where no one wants to pay too much attention to the music, low risk and low reward. Like Jamie XX with any remaining edges gently sanded off. What’s notable about “All I Can Feel,” which takes its title from a Wilson Phillips sample, is the way it sounds like an evolution. There’s more structure here, even if it is spread over seven minutes. And there’s simply more density: compared to something like “New Year’s Resolution”, which runs its Camera Obscura sample into the ground and then backs over it a few times, “All I Can Feel” is positively nimble, fading in and out of multiple hooks before they lose their potency. DJSTTDJ weaves this mashup deftly, with an ebb and flow smooth enough that it’s possible to miss the way the song takes you on a journey and back again. I think "All I Can Feel” is the best song I’ve heard so far this year; it’s definitely the hardest to get out of my head. Maybe mashups really are back.

MG:

I can’t help but agree that “All I Can Feel” sounds like background music. Even “vibes” feels like too strong a descriptor for art that is little more than a cut and paste collage on top of a sturdy 4/4 beat. In fact, “All I Can Feel” strikes me as, unfortunately, sad. It’s as though instead of having that party where no one wants to pay too much attention to the music, DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ embedded the din of the party into the track and then spent the evening alone and lonely. Maybe I’m intoxicated on fear of the AI future, but this stuff sounds so dystopian to me, like we don’t even need friends made of flesh anymore, like any voice beckoning to us from beyond the screen will suffice. If that’s the worst case scenario, the best one might be that “All I Can Feel” is lo-fi study beats for the kids who can’t focus when it’s too quiet.
