Globally renowned French DJ and multi-platinum producer DJ Snake links with Crankdat for the pulsating new track “Big Bang.” Boasting colossal builds, whiplash-inducing synths and dramatic drops, “Big Bang” kicks off with a slow build composed of percussion, organ, and throwback loops. Soon, the slick electronic production reaches the first drop, treating fans to a dubstep breakdown peppered with dissonant, shrieking synths. Today’s record is just another example of Snake’s ability to seamlessly blend genres and sounds across his increasingly impressive discography.
“Big Bang” is the first new single from Snake since dropping the joyous thumper “West Side Story” last summer. It was preceded by the world music-inspired “Guddi Riddim” featuring the Nooran Sisters. The song was a viral sensation even before its release after a live performance in India spread far and wide online. It was preceded by the sensual “Nightbird,” “Deep,” a bass-heavy collaboration with Malaa and Yung Felix, and “Power (Remember Who You Are)” with Spinall, Summer Walker, and Äyanna.
With “Big Bang,” Snake and Crankdat craft a grinding, sonic call-to-arms that is sure to be a highlight of the Frenchman’s hotly anticipated Coachella set when he returns to the Indio desert this weekend.
