Today’s video of the day is Rabbit in the Moon – “Let’s Dance” released in 2016.
Rabbit in the Moon released their version of “Let’s Dance” in 2016 as a tribute to David Bowie and a call for cancer research. Originally recorded in 2003 as a protest against The Rave Act, the cover turned Bowie’s anthem into a rallying cry for the electronic music scene. “Let’s Dance” became a symbol of resistance, using the term “dance” as a metaphor for “fight.” In 2016, after hearing about Bowie’s battle with cancer, Rabbit in the Moon decided to release their version officially. They dedicated the song to raising money for cancer research, hoping to make a difference in the fight against the disease. The song also served as a tribute to Bowie, whose music had inspired many. All proceeds from the release were directed toward cancer research and treatment.
The video for “Let’s Dance” was shot live at EDC Orlando on November 5, 2016, capturing one of the band’s most memorable performances. The high-energy show, supported by #PasqualeRotella and captured by Randy Sosin and the Insomniac video team, showcased the band’s unique stage presence. Rabbit in the Moon, known for their fusion of electronic music and performance art, has a long history in the rave scene. Their albums, such as Decade and Phases of an Out-of-Body Experience, pushed the boundaries of live electronic music. “Let’s Dance” ties into their history of creating powerful, emotional music that resonates with their audience. While not part of a specific album, this release stands out as a tribute both to Bowie and to the electronic music community.
With its deep meaning and live energy, “Let’s Dance” connects Rabbit in the Moon’s legacy to their mission of giving back. The video immortalizes their tribute to Bowie and continues their long-standing relationship with the electronic music world. Much love to Bowie—rest in the stars, always shining down on us.
