When two genres collide, magic happens. Grammy-nominated duo Sofi Tukker have made a career out of defying labels, and now they’ve done it again—teaming up with metal icons Drowning Pool for “Bodies Hit the Floor,” a thunderous new take on the legendary mosh pit anthem “Bodies.” Released via Craft Recordings, this collaboration turns raw metal aggression into a hypnotic dancefloor eruption.
Sofi Tukker, made up of Tucker Halpern and Sophie Hawley-Weld, have always known how to keep fans guessing. After high-voltage sets at Tomorrowland Festival and Lollapalooza Berlin, they wanted something that could bring that same intensity to every crowd. Enter Drowning Pool, whose 2001 classic “Bodies” defined an era of unapologetic chaos. Together, they’ve transformed it into a sweaty, pulse-pounding hybrid that ignites any crowd within seconds.
“This is one of the coolest collabs we’ve done. It is definitely the most unlikely. It started as a fun idea for DJ sets, and we quickly realized it was more than that. We haven’t had a dancefloor weapon like this, maybe ever in our career. Whether it’s a field of people or small intimate house party, this song exceeds our expectations every time. It’s so fun to see the primal excitement this song brings out in people. So grateful that Drowning Pool let us remake their iconic hit. Can’t wait to play it together,” the duo shares.
CJ Pierce of Drowning Pool is equally pumped. “It’s absolutely badass what Sofi Tukker did with their re-imagining of ‘Bodies!’ I’m all about the buildups and those sick breakdowns. Looking forward to experiencing it myself live at one of Sofi Tukker’s upcoming shows!” It’s the kind of cross-genre praise that shows how fearless collaboration can spark new energy in timeless songs.
