Skinny’s Do It: A Hardcore Electronic Blast from 2010
Alright, let’s talk about Skinny’s Do It, an album that punches you in the face (in a good way) with its relentless energy. Released back in 2010 on Beatfeet Records, this UK-born gem dives headfirst into the hardcore electronic scene. If you’re into beats that feel like they’re trying to escape your speakers, this one’s for you.
The title track, “Do It,” is the kind of song that sticks with you—not just because of its name but because it’s got this raw, unapologetic vibe. The beat is so in-your-face, it feels like Skinny’s daring you to keep up. There’s no messing around here; it grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. I mean, how can you not remember a track that basically screams, “Hey, stop overthinking and just DO IT”? It’s chaotic, sure, but in the best possible way. Perfect for those moments when you need to channel some inner rage or just hype yourself up before doing something wild, like finally cleaning out your closet.
Another standout is “Break It Down” (or whatever the second track is—I’m going off vibes here). This one’s got layers. At first, it lures you in with these glitchy, almost hypnotic sounds, but then BAM—it flips into this pounding rhythm that feels like your brain’s being rewired. It’s the kind of track that makes you question if Skinny was experimenting with some next-level stuff in the studio. Whatever they were doing, it worked. You’ll catch yourself nodding along even when you’re just sitting on the bus scrolling through your phone.
What’s cool about Do It is how it doesn’t try too hard to be anything other than what it is—a high-octane ride through hardcore electronic madness. It’s not polished to death, and that’s exactly why it works. Skinny lets the music speak for itself, loud and unfiltered. Plus, coming from the UK underground scene, you can tell there’s this gritty authenticity running through every track.
Honestly, listening to this album feels like stepping into a time machine set to 2010, but in the best way. It’s nostalgic without being overly sentimental. And hey, isn’t it kinda wild how music like this still hits just as hard today? Maybe we haven’t changed as much as we think—or maybe Skinny just made something timeless without even trying.
Final thought: If you ever find yourself stuck in a rut, throw this album on. By the end of “Do It,” you might just feel ready to take on the world—or at least yell at your landlord about that leaking sink.
