40. ‘Raingurl’ by Yaeji


Release date: 2017
A modern classic house track from the effortlessly cool DJ-producer Yaeji, ‘Raingurl’ is effectively a loop of infectiously catchy chanting – ‘Make it rain girl, make it rain (mother Russia in my cup)’ – interspersed with atmospheric whisperings sung in English and Korean for a bit of dancefloor relief. As the track rolls on, each time the chorus hits that little bit harder, and it’s near impossible not to sing along and jump up and down to the hard, drilling beat while you’re at it. Put this into a DJ set and you’re onto a winner – it is so beautifully simple that even newbies can sing along from the get-go.
