Elley Duhé x Whethan, MONEY ON THE DASH | DANCE GEMZ

In the 2^nd edition of DANCE GEMZ (2023), we totally get down with Elley Duhé and Whethan performing the danceable gem, “MONEY ON THE DASH”. 

“Lose control, I won’t crash, run it all, I won’t crash / When you slow, I won’t crash, runnin’ / Take, take, take, take…” Prepare to take it to the dance floor, folks! DANCE GEMZ is a column that celebrates awesome dance songs from the past and present.  The records that grace DANCE GEMZ aren’t merely limited to music explicitly characterized as dance.  That means all genres of music – electronic, pop, rock, disco, etc. – are welcome as long as the particular song is associated with dance. In the 2^nd  edition of DANCE GEMZ (2023), we totally get down with Elley Duhé and Whethan performing the danceable gem, “MONEY ON THE DASH”.

“Take, you runnin’ off the road, so get out the way / Push the pedal to the floor, blow ‘em all away.” It is safe to say that Elley Duhé comes out swinging on “MONEY ON THE DASH.”  On the short but sweet single, a collaboration with producer, Whethan, she delivers vocals soaked with personality.  Lyrically, this short number is repetitive and uncomplicated, but certainly a vibe.  The energy and intensity is apparent from the jump.  She continues singing in the chorus, “Yeah, ya see, I’m gettin’ close, I accelerate / Goin’ faster than fast, hit the gas.”

“MONEY ON THE DASH” is set in a minor key – c minor to be precise (one of my favorite keys). Whethan collaborates with Dru “Falconry” DeCaro to solidify a backdrop comprised of an anchoring, driving beat, a repetitive bass line, and of course, synths.  It is worth noting that there is a sped-up version, which is also a – wait for it – VIBE! #BIG MOOD!!! “Lose control, I won’t crash, rollin’ high / Put your money on the dash, throw the dice.” WOO!
