If there’s one thing the world can always use more of, it’s feel-good music that makes you want to get up and move. Enter ProntaCorde, the Mexico City-based duo who just dropped their brand-new single Feel Like Doing Some Dancing on April 11, 2025, and let’s be honest—it does exactly what the title promises.
Built around rich, sun-drenched samples, playful synths, and effortlessly cool grooves, this track isn’t just a song—it’s a celebration. ProntaCorde, the project helmed by a mystery-shrouded sonic architect on synths and samples, teamed up with mixing and mastering wizard Abraham Madera to bring their vision to life. Together, they’ve delivered something that feels like stepping into a retro-futurist dancehall where past and present collide on the dancefloor.
From the first second, Feel Like Doing Some Dancing feels like a transmission from an alternate universe—one where crate-digging culture never died, boomboxes still ruled the streets, and dance was the universal language. But don’t mistake it for pure nostalgia. This track lives in the now just as much as it nods to the golden age of sample-driven music. Think The Avalanches with a Latin twist, stitched together with the precision of modern electronic production and a wink of vintage radio playfulness.
The track is a teaser for the upcoming full-length album Intercontinental Radio: Sounds from Another Place, Another Time, and if this single is any indication, that record is going to be a full-blown passport stamp to sonic escapism. ProntaCorde isn’t interested in trends—they’re building sound worlds. You don’t just listen to this music, you time travel through it.
Feel Like Doing Some Dancing thrives on its intricate layering: snippets of soulful voices, chopped beats that flirt with house, funk, and disco, and quirky instrumental licks that pop in and out like surprise party guests. There’s an intentional looseness here, a vibe that doesn’t overthink itself, yet every second is clearly sculpted with care. You get the sense that ProntaCorde has spent hours digging through vinyl bins, radio archives, and digital crates to find just the right vocal lift or drum break to flip into something totally their own.
The recording sessions took place in the vibrant heart of Mexico City, which might explain the colorful pulse of the track—it’s alive, textured, and unafraid of mixing cultural cues. With final mastering touches done at Madera Studio in Monterrey, the track has a polish that never sacrifices its homemade charm. It feels like something you’d stumble across on an obscure frequency late at night, but want to keep to yourself forever.
There’s also something joyfully defiant about the track’s release right now. With so much of the world’s music skewing toward introspection and moody minimalism, ProntaCorde boldly reminds us of the pure fun of music. Feel Like Doing Some Dancing is an invitation—a reminder that even when things feel heavy, you can still throw on a track, turn it up, and let go for three and a half minutes.
As a standalone single, it’s a summer jam in waiting. As a preview of what’s to come on Intercontinental Radio, it’s a promise. A promise that ProntaCorde is here to shake things up—not by being loud, but by being clever, soulful, and irresistibly danceable.
So go ahead. Hit play. Let your shoulders loosen, your feet move, and your mind wander. ProntaCorde just gave you permission to feel something real, and more importantly, to dance like no one’s watching.
