Released 6 Years Ago: Losing It – Fisher

Few people have burst onto the electronic music scene quite as fast or quite as emphatically as the wild Australian DJ Fisher with his insane tech house banger ‘Losing It.’ At a time where tech house was a genre that largely stuck to the underground scene, Fisher managed to bring it to the mainstream and ‘Losing It’ contributed massively to the shift from mainstage EDM going into the charts to house and tech house being the more dominant force.

Following leaving the DJ duo Cut Snake, Fisher would release his first single ‘Ya Kidding’ which gained him early success. His funky basslines and crazy onstage energy gained the Aussie a lot of fans and he would gain even more attention with his follow up tracks ‘Stop It’ and ‘Crowd Control’ that were a further display of his unique style. With this incredible run of hits, he would manage to get a gig at Coachella where his career would suddenly skyrocket.

In the lead up to Coachella he had finished the now infamous track ‘Losing It’ which he planned on debuting at the historic festival. Fisher was very confident in this new track as one of his colleagues James Mack recalls him simply saying “Watch this” before playing the track live. The reaction from the crowd said it all as the irresistible bass line got everybody moving and wanting to hear more.

The commercial success of ‘Losing It’ was beyond what anyone imagined with it going to number 1 on the Beatport charts for 21 weeks straight, going to number 1 on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart, and even receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording. Since its release ‘Losing It’ has gone on the rack up over half a billion streams on Spotify and is widely regarded as one of the best tech house songs ever released. This track is nothing short of iconic and rightfully earned Fisher the success he deserved, and he hasn’t slowed down since in either his music or in his ever-entertaining stage antics.
