Eats Everything’s ‘Upside Down’ has arrived, and it’s every bit the party-starter that fans were hoping for.
The track takes the bold energy of Diana Ross’s 1980 disco anthem ‘Upside Down’ and injects it with a fresh, club-ready twist. What started as a secret weapon on the dancefloors, has now evolved into one of the most hotly-anticipated tracks of the year.
For anyone familiar with the underground buzz around this track, ‘Upside Down’ is not exactly new—but it’s finally official. Eats Everything’s edit, which has already been a fixture in the sets of heavyweights like Dom Dolla, Chris Lake, and Groove Armada, was born as an energetic reimagining of the original. What sets it apart is its ability to balance the feel-good energy of the classic with the thumping, bass-driven pulse of modern house music. It’s a track that sounds like it could have been born in the warehouse rave of the past, yet perfectly suited for today’s mainstage.
The secret sauce? That iconic Diana Ross vocal, which takes center stage in all its silky glory. Powered by the legendary Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards (of Chic fame), the sample is a tribute to disco’s finest. Thanks to the efforts of Anton Powers, Head of A&R at Ministry of Sound, Eats Everything has not only secured official clearance for the sample, but also earned the stamp of approval from the original writers themselves—a rare and crucial endorsement in today’s music climate. This move puts an end to the unofficial SoundCloud rips that circulated before the release, making the official single a well-deserved, highly-awaited treat.
The result is an infectious slab of disco house that feels timeless yet entirely of the moment. From its rollicking bassline to the tight percussion and disco flourishes, ‘Upside Down’ radiates the kind of feel-good energy that makes you want to jump on the dancefloor and lose yourself. Eats Everything’s unique ability to blend the smooth, nostalgic warmth of disco with the driving force of house music creates an irresistible groove that simply doesn’t let up.
It’s clear that ‘Upside Down’ isn’t just a rehash of a classic, but rather a reimagining that honors its roots while bringing it into the modern era. With support from some of the biggest names in dance music, and praise from the very people who helped create the original, Eats Everything has truly delivered a banger that will light up clubs for months to come.
‘Upside Down’ is a perfect testament to the art of sampling done right—catchy, fresh, and undeniably fun. It’s a celebration of both past and present, and it will undoubtedly become a staple in dance music playlists worldwide. The wait for its official release was long, but it was worth every minute.
‘Upside Down’ is out on Ministry Of Sound/Sony Music now here.
