The song is a fresh reimagining of the metal anthem
Genre-defying duo Sofi Tukker push musical boundaries once again with their latest collab that sees them teaming up with the iconic metal group, Drowning Pool, for a re-imagining of the mosh pit classic, “Bodies” called “Bodies Hit the Floor” via Craft Recordings.
Grammy-nominated Sofi Tukker is comprised of Tucker Halpern and Sophie Hawley-Weld. Known for their infectious electronic dance anthems, the band is fresh off electrifying sets at Tomorrowland Festival and Lollapalooza Berlin. The unexpected pairing with Drowning Pool on “Bodies Hit The Floor” has become a highlight of their live set, with consistently intense, wild reactions from crowds.
“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.
“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!” adds CJ Pierce of Drowning Pool.
Sofi Tukker’s latest album Butter celebrates the band’s deep love of Brazilian music and culture, and is a jazz-infused, alter-ego companion to their acclaimed 2024 album Bread. The EDM duo will bring a special Butter set at the iconic Newport Jazz Festival on August 1st.
Meanwhile, Drowning Pool is gearing up for headlining dates across the UK and Europe this summer. From their breakthrough 2001 debut album, Sinner – featuring the original version of “Bodies” — to today, the band continues to bring their signature metal energy with every release. This drop follows the band’s latest single, “Madness,” released in April 2025.
