Last night’s season-finale of Saturday Night Live, like most of its shows this year, was heavy on music: from St. Vincent weirding out America to 2 Chainz hitting the studio to Pharrell making a cameo in “Hugs.” But one of the best scenes came early in the show, when host Andy Samberg brought back his digital short series for an on-point skewering of EDM DJs, “When Will The Bass Drop?”
As wonderfully-named Davvincii, Samberg makes a room full of electronic music fans wait for that damn beat to drop, hovering over a Staples easy button while playing Jenga, frying eggs, creating sand art, and getting handed bags of cash and fistfull of credit cards.
Once the beat finally drops, Davvincii — help the help of Lonely Island partner Lil’ John — blows minds. Literally.
