So who the hell are The Body Snatchers?

Well, Baobinga (Sam to his mum) was recently named ‘Player Of The Year’ in IDJ magazine probably because he is one of the most versatile producers and DJs operating in the dance music field today. Whether in partnership with I.D. as Big Monster for Fat! creating new ragga hybrids with Tayo for Soul Jazz or producing solo on labels like Mantra, a steady stream of releases have caught the attention of some of the top names in dance music and his latest pairing with 30Hz shows that this Manchester-based powerhouse has no sign of slowing down!

Hailing from Washington, DC in the U.S of A and now a resident of Bristol, 30Hz is one busy man. Signed (individually) to Meat Katie’s Lot49 imprint and releasing his critically acclaimed debut solo long player ‘Electric Sheep’ at the tail end of 2007, James or ‘Ginz’ as he’s known to family and friends also runs two labels: Vertical Sound for his Nu-Skool Breaks outputs and Tectonic – one of the world’s leading Dubstep labels. Working alongside Planet Mu’s DJ Pinch as ‘P.Dutty’ the duo were responsible for the bass-led Dubstep anthem ‘War Dub’ which was snapped up by Universal Pictures and used on their box office hit ‘Children Of Men’, oh he recently received nominations for Best Single & Album at this years Breakspoll Awards, this is one man on a mission!

Having been tearing holes in sound systems since teaming up to release their debut single ‘Rip Shit Up’ (a firm favourite with Pendulum in their DJ sets) the duo have gone onto remix the likes of Ferry Corsten, Krafty Kuts and most recently Noisia for Skint Records. Heavily inspired by America’s southern Rap scene alongside the high energy bounce of the Bay Area’s ‘Hyphy’ scene The Body Snatchers have twisted these sounds together with a large UK injection of b’line manipulation and balls to the wall distortion, the result - pummelling party music to make your ass shake and your ear bones quake.
