30Hz & Baobinga present the Bodysnatchers - Rip Shit Up/Slam Pig

  • Share
  • The Bodysnatchers is the new collective name for breakbeat producers 30Hz & Baobinga, who've collaborated previously on tunes like Jack Your Body which was released on Cyberfunk Records and the highly successful Know Ya/All In Your Head on Supercharged. The Bodysnatchers moniker represents the duo's efforts when they take the sounds of electro and house and translate them into breaks. Side V. Rip Shit Up Making no allowances for subtleties, Rip Shit Up kicks off with a heavy breakbeat and a throbbing low-end bassline and hip hop vocal samples which lend themselves to the title of the tune. The beats are combined with trademark 30Hz percussion and Baobinga drum fills. For those who are familiar with their Know Ya tune can hear similar synth stabs, and this is just the intro! Once the main verse kicks in an even bigger bassline drops in giving the bassbins a run for their money. Towards the middle they introduce a big siren like noise which progressively builds to a climax. It's on a similar tip to Know Ya but on a much darker and sinister tone. Side S. Slam Pig It'd be interesting to know who 30Hz and Baobinga have been listening to lately as Slam Pig is their take on progressive trance and they've hit the nail right on the head, even the beats have a four to the floor outlook with a couple of off-beat kicks and punchy snares to make sure it stays in breakbeat territory. A deep, driving bassline kicks in after a long intro and takes on the style that can be heard from a progressive DJ's set. Slowly the pair incorporate various trancey hooks on top until the middle breakdown where they remove it all and slowly bring it all back again. It seems like they're trying to win new fans with this one, fans of the hard house persuasion!
