Hey everyone, imagine scrolling through your feeds and suddenly hitting a track that makes you stop dead in your tracks because the groove just hits different. That's exactly what happened when "Bizboz (feat. Baba Smiz & Full Stop Velvet)" by Devereaux landed in my inbox. If you're into that sweet spot where retro vibes meet modern dancefloor energy, this one's going to be your new obsession.
Right now in 2026, dance pop is everywhere—playlists are packed with fresh hits blending catchy hooks and high-energy beats, nu-disco is having a massive revival with funky basslines and shimmering synths lighting up mixes from Ibiza to your living room, and indie pop keeps evolving with eclectic, genre-blurring sounds that feel personal yet universally danceable. "Bizboz" slides perfectly into all of that. It's got that infectious nu-disco pulse—think driving rhythms and synth-driven grooves that scream late-night drives or packed club nights—mixed with dance pop's irresistible catchiness and indie pop's wry, offbeat edge. The production feels polished yet raw, pulling from those classic influences without sounding dated. You can practically feel the funk and the flair building, urging you to move. Can't deal with that bizboz? Yeah, same—this track's too addictive to ignore.
Devereaux's story is pretty wild and totally relatable for anyone who's chased music through life's ups and downs. It all started with him nicking his first cassette tune from the airwaves—Hazard by Richard Marx—before diving deep into guitar riffs from tracks like "Plowed," "Tourette's," or "Beat It," all while soaking up gems from old skate videos like "Runnin'," "Drop," or "Lifesaver." Early 2000s brought in Trans Am, Kraftwerk, and Air to blow his mind, and he spent years playing guitar in bands like Bolt, The Fastest Steed on Earth, Death Becomes Even The Maiden, and Parlour Tricks during the MySpace era shake-up.
Things kicked off properly in 2006 with the Cacti Pace EP, finished in 2009 and released through Post-Echo in 2011—a scrappy, sardonic nod to capitalism via Trans Am, Daft Punk, and Battles vibes. Then came Pineapple Flex in 2014, stronger, sexier, and fruitier, but still dark and personal, drawing comparisons to a badass electronic spin on La Femme Nikita or a vocal-free Spice Girls with extra spunk. Kapowski dropped in 2017 as a teaser for something bigger, but life (and some rough patches with alcoholism) put things on hold through the late 2010s and into 2020.
Fast-forward to 2023, and Devereaux came back stronger and sober with tracks like "Mel" and "Bizboz," while also jumping into projects like Full Stop Velvet, Heir Metal, and Leta Facta. The fight against global boiling keeps rolling, and this release feels like part of that renewed fire. Featuring Baba Smiz and Full Stop Velvet, "Bizboz" captures that evolved sound—darker, wryer, but packed with personality and groove. It's the kind of track that bridges those early electronic influences with today's dance pop and nu-disco waves, where retro-futuristic sounds are dominating playlists and summer vibes.
What I love most is how this fits into the bigger picture. Dance music in 2026 is all about reconnection—echoing golden eras like 2016 while pushing fresh energy—and nu-disco revivals are bringing back those funky, uplifting grooves that make you feel alive. Indie pop's eclectic side keeps things interesting, blending in hip-hop edges or bedroom vibes, but "Bizboz" stays true to its dancefloor roots with that irresistible pull. Whether you're throwing it on for a workout, a pre-game, or just vibing solo, it delivers.
If this got your head nodding (or your hips moving), hit play and let it sink in. What do you think of Devereaux's comeback sound? Does "Bizboz" have you ready to ditch the bizboz in your life and just dance? Drop your thoughts in the comments—I read every one!
