Yellow Claw’s Single “CRUSH” Sets the Beat for Nicole Kidman’s Electrifying Nightclub Scene in Blockbuster Movie “Babygirl”
Yellow Claw, the dynamic Dutch DJ and record production duo from Amsterdam, has been a formidable force in the electronic music scene since their formation in 2010. Originally a trio, the group now comprises Jim Taihuttu (Jim Aasgier) and Nils Rondhuis (Nizzle), following the departure of MC Bizzey in 2016. Their innovative sound seamlessly blends elements of trap, hip-hop, dubstep, hardstyle, and moombahton, captivating audiences worldwide. Their debut album, Blood for Mercy (2015), not only topped Billboard’s Heatseekers and Top Dance/Electronic Albums charts but also earned them an Edison Award, the Dutch equivalent of a GRAMMY. The album’s standout track, “In My Room,” featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Tyga, and DJ Mustard, has garnered over 160 million Spotify streams.
Beyond their musical achievements, Yellow Claw has established a distinct brand identity, known for their sophisticated stage outfits and powerful live performances. In 2014, they founded their own label, Barong Family, fostering emerging electronic talent and further solidifying their influence in the industry. As they continue to push creative boundaries, their heavy beats and cinematic vision have become a perfect match for the entertainment world, ensuring their lasting impact on the global music landscape.
Yellow Claw’s 2024 hit “CRUSH” with Natte Visstick and RHYME takes center stage in Halina Reijn’s psychological thriller Babygirl (2024), starring Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson, and Antonio Banderas. The high-energy track fuels one of the film’s most electrifying moments—Kidman’s unforgettable rave scene—perfectly matching the pulsating underground atmosphere with its aggressive techno beats and hypnotic chorus. The film’s “Babygirl effect” has propelled “CRUSH” to over 1 million streams per week, making it an undeniable cultural moment.
Personally introduced to Reijn by Jim Taihuttu, the track was an instant favorite among the film’s crew, further solidifying Yellow Claw’s longstanding reputation in entertainment. With past placements in “22 Jump Street,” “Good Boys,” “Madden NFL,” and “Just Dance,” the duo continues to craft music that seamlessly blends into cinematic storytelling. As Babygirl makes waves worldwide, “CRUSH” stands as both a dancefloor anthem and a defining sound of 2024’s most stylish and provocative film.
