"The Buzz" came out in April 2015 as the second single from Dark Night Sweet Light, the fifth album from Australian hip-hop duo Hermitude, with Sydney singer Mataya and New Zealand rapper Young Tapz along for the ride. It creeps in quietly, Mataya's soft, muted voice floating over a low, throbbing synth, then Young Tapz ups the pressure with a dose of homegrown hip-hop before a giddy, grimy drop blows the whole thing wide open.
It went to 20 on the ARIA singles chart and was certified platinum, and at the 2016 APRA Music Awards it was up for Urban Work of the Year.
