Buy Now 'Body Crash'

Released: 16th June 2008

Mix together two parts Swedish House Mafia aka Buy Now aka Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso, crush together with ice-cool electronic bleeps, a wild bassline, and a devastating vocal hook, and serve to a worldwide rapturous response from the likes of Pete Tong, Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Erol Alkan, Soulwax, David Guetta, Felix Da Housecat, and more.

Hearing 'Body Crash' suggests that the Weathermen's dastardly plan to release psychedelics into the American water supply was off by a few years and several thousand miles. Although perfectly compos mentis, you do wonder what goes through the minds of Angello and Ingrosso when holed up in their studio.

Perhaps it's some deal-breaking Faustian pact, but the pair's uncanny ability to produce monumental dance records has created an enviable discography. The Buy Now alias has already produced the monstrous 'For Sale', while 2007 alone saw the likes of 'Umbrella', 'Get Dumb', and 'Be' become worldwide anthems, alongside remixes for Hard Fi, Felix Da Housecat feat. Diddy, Moby, and Royksopp.

For 'Body Crash' they've taken a dusty old hook ('Let's All Chant') and thrust it kicking and bleeping into some insanely catchy 21st century electronica. Something of an irrepressible dancefloor beast, its about to slay daytime radio, having torn apart nighttime and specialist schedules over the past few months. Radio 1, Kiss, Galaxy, XFM, and other stations have this earmarked as a landmark record for 2008, and why not, tracks like this come around but once a year.

Both Steve and Seb spent 2007 "on the road". Their travels included a season in Ibiza that saw them bring down the house at Pure Pacha, Subliminal, and Fuck Me I'm Famous, as well as playing after Sasha at Amnesia for Radio 1's Ibiza party. This year they'll be taking the island head on, opening the season for Pure Pacha....playing at Space.....Amnesia. The Swedish House Mafia will take over Subliminal at Pacha, Pure Pacha, and Amnesia (main room) for one night only.

Remixes come from Dirty South, Laidback Luke, Burns and Streetlife DJ's.
