Benoni-based EDM producer Undertone has breathed new life into one of his earliest and most memorable tracks with the release of “Silly Fly”—a whimsical 2024 remake of a song that began as a 1999 experiment.
Originally inspired by a short poem about a fly, “Silly Fly” retains the quirky charm of the original while revving up the tempo to an electrifying 150 BPM.

When the track was first recorded at a leisurely 75 BPM, it had a slower, playful vibe. In its latest iteration, “Silly Fly” soars with double the speed in C major, delivering an energetic beat that matches its lighthearted theme.
“It’s as silly as the title,” says Undertone, “but there’s nothing quite like it out there.” The track showcases Undertone’s talent for blending unexpected sounds with EDM’s high-energy pulse, creating a piece that is both unique and undeniably catchy.
Listeners can expect an eclectic mix of sounds, starting with the roar of a steam train that seamlessly transitions into the track’s driving kick.
This rhythmic buildup propels the fly on a daring journey—but as the beat intensifies, the inevitable fate of the insect becomes humorously apparent. The accompanying music video amplifies the fun, depicting the hapless fly getting squashed in sync with the track’s tempo shifts, adding a playful narrative to the song’s energy.
“Silly Fly” is now available on streaming platforms, offering EDM enthusiasts and fans of Undertone’s adventurous sound a distinctive and lively listening experience.
