Yo, if you thought the Black Eyed Peas’ 2010 banger “Rock That Body” couldn’t get any wilder… hold my Red Bull. Italian DJ/producer Lollibus just dropped a full-on driving/hard techno remake that’s currently tearing up Beatport’s “Best New Mainstage – December” chart and racked up over 30k Spotify streams in the first 48 hours. This isn’t a polite remix — it’s a complete demolition and rebuild for 3 a.m. warehouse madness.
The second that iconic vocal hook hits, “Rock that body, come on, come on, rock that body,” slams in over a relentless 140+BPM kick drum, you know you’re in trouble (the good kind). Lollibus layers it with screeching Y2K-era synth stabs, Jersey club-inspired bounce, and those filthy, distorted basslines that make your chest cavity vibrate. It’s like someone fed the original through a time machine, pumped it full of pre-workout, and let it loose in a dark room in Berlin. Peak-time energy? Absolutely. Driving techno with hard techno teeth? 100%.
What makes this flip so addictive is how Lollibus keeps just enough of the original party-rap DNA while turning it into a proper club weapon. The breakdowns tease the familiar melody before slamming back into pure rave chaos — the exact kind of moment that makes a dance floor lose its collective mind. No wonder it’s already a staple in his sets across Asia and the UK.
Speaking of sets, this dude’s resume is ridiculous. Started grinding in Parma’s clubs, moved to China in 2019, and basically became electronic royalty over there — headlining Arkham Shanghai, S86 (a DJ Mag Top 100 club), and racking up 20 million+ streams on Chinese platforms. Fast-forward to 2022 and he’s selling out 100+ shows across the UK (London, Nottingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham — the list goes on). Oh, and he launched his own party series “Reset” that’s pushing the hip-hop x electronic crossover hard. The man’s also sitting on 4 million+ Spotify streams for his recent originals and just hit 20k TikTok followers by posting the smoothest (and hardest) transitions you’ll see all week.
If you’re into artists like I Hate Models, 999999999, Nico Moreno, or the whole Schranz-meets-mainstage wave that’s dominating festivals right now, you need this track in your life immediately.
Go give “Rock That Body (Techno Cover)” a spin on Spotify or grab it on Beatport — it’s the kind of tune that turns a good night into an unforgettable one.
And hey, if you’re an independent artist reading this and you want your music in front of more ears (and keep more of your royalties), DistroKid is still the move. New sign-ups get 7% off their first year with this link: https://distrokid.com/vip/seven/2058328 — trust me, it adds up quick when those streams start rolling in.
What do you think of this flip? Too hard? Perfectly chaotic? Drop your thoughts below — I’m dying to know if this is gonna be the unexpected techno anthem of the winter.
Let’s goooo!
