Song Of The Week: Make Ya Body Whistle - The Cataracs & DEV

Writer's picture: Faiz FaisalFaiz Faisal

When The Cataracs and DEV announced their new single, "Make Ya Body Whistle," it felt like a time machine had dropped us right back into the early 2010s. For those of us who lived through that era, it was a moment of pure nostalgia—a reminder of a time when neon lights, glitter, and bass-heavy beats ruled the night.


The early 2010s were a golden age for dance-pop and electro-hop, and The Cataracs and DEV were at the forefront of that sound. Who could forget the anthems that defined those years? "Like a G6" was the ultimate party starter, "Bass Down Low" had us all dropping it to the floor, and "In The Dark" and "Top of the World" were the tracks that kept us moving until the sun came up. These songs weren’t just music—they were the soundtrack to our early adult lives, filled with newfound freedom, late-night adventures, and unforgettable memories on the dancefloor.


For me, this era was all about exploring the nightlife, surrounded by friends and the infectious energy of the club scene. Lady Gaga was, of course, the queen of the playlist, but DEV and The Cataracs were the dynamic duo that brought the heat. Their music was everywhere—blasting through speakers at clubs, playing on the radio during late-night drives, and even on repeat in my headphones as I got ready for a night out.


So, when "Make Ya Body Whistle" dropped, it was more than just a new song—it was a reunion with a piece of my past. I found myself jumping (horizontally, on my bed, of course) with excitement, instantly transported back to those carefree nights of dancing until my feet hurt. The track carries that signature Cataracs and DEV vibe—catchy, upbeat, and impossible not to move to. It’s a reminder that while times may change, the joy of music and dancing never fades.


Sure, we might not be hitting the clubs as often as we used to (or maybe some of us still are—no judgment here!), but that doesn’t mean we can’t relive those moments. "Make Ya Body Whistle" is proof that the magic of the early 2010s is still alive. So, whether you’re dancing in your living room, at a party, or even just in your head, let this track take you back to those unforgettable nights.


Here’s to The Cataracs and DEV for bringing us back to a time when the music was loud, the nights were long, and the memories were endless. Let’s keep dancing—because who says the party ever has to stop?
