Underground sensation DADA LIFE to release debut artist CD “Just Do The Dada”
Inspired by John Cage, Early Acid House, Trance, 60s Psychedelia and Little Richard, among other things, Dada Life has emerged with a unique sound that’s modeled from a broad canvas of musical stimulation.
Here is “Happy Hands & Happy Feet” from Just Do the Dada Album:

NEW YORK – On September 8, The Hours will release underground sensation Dada Life’s debut artist CD Just Do The Dada. They don’t care about genres. They don’t care about smartness. They don’t care about the things you care about. Dada Life just wants to make you jump up and down. Then make you crash into a wall with a smile on your face.
Dada Life is the brainchild of Stockholm-based Olle Corneer and Stefan Engblom. In the summer 2006, Dada Life released “Big Time” on Mylo’s Breastfed label and DJs all over got their first taste of the duo. Since then, there has been a steady stream of hit records from “The Great Fashionista Swindle,” “Vote Yes” and “Fun Fun Fun” to this spring’s “Happy Hands And Happy Feet” EP. Dada Life’s music is adored by both an eclectic mix of DJ talent – including David Guetta, Tiësto, Eric Prydz, Altern 8, Crookers and Don Rimini – and some of the most discerning underground tastemakers in the world (check out some of the quotes below).
Conceptually, Dada Life was inspired by the Dada cultural movement that originally began in Zurich during World War 1. “We don’t want to be perceived as arty, but we like the anti-ideas and f*ck-off-attitude of Dada. We have just taken the word Dada and filled it with whatever we like. Like the title track “Just Do The Dada” – it doesn’t really mean anything specific. That’s also the ideas we want to communicate – the basic concept of Dada Life – anti-everything, f*ck-all, but still not pinpointed. Everybody can do the Dada. But no one really knows what it is. All this has been the idea from the start. Hence older titles “This Machine Kills Breakfasts”, “Vote Yes” and “The Great Fashionista Swindle” and new tracks created for the album “Let’s Get Bleeped Tonight” and “Happy Hands & Happy Feet.” There’s a certain attitude to Dada Life, but it’s not specific,” Corneer explains.
When performing as a live act Dada Life is one box of bananas, a couple of bottles of Champagne and a lot of sweat and broken equipment. On the other hand, Dada Life DJ-gigs tend to go the same way with an MPC and some controllers that enable the boys to play around with samples and loops even when they DJ. They also constantly produce their own remixes/edits of good tunes in order to have something unique to play during the sets. North American audiences will experience this firsthand when Dada Life takes to the States for a full tour later this summer / early fall!
“Just Do The Dada” is released September 8, 2009 on The Hours.
