Their debut album Pasto was recorded and released in 1992 and has guest appearances by Gustavo Cerati, Daniel Melero and members of other groups which, at the time, were also part of the New Argentinian Rock (or Sonic rock) movement, such as Martes Menta and Juana la Loca. The only single released from Pasto was "D-Generación", which was a minor radio hit at the time and made the upcoming band known to Argentinian listeners. The album has an eclectic style, with many of the tracks being short skits (such as "41" de Ocio", which consists of the band chatting between songs; or "Mutha Fucka", a track which seems to have been made by cutting and pasting together various audio samples taken from TV).
For their second album Trance Zomba, released in 1994, DJ Peggyn joined the band. As a a consequence of the band having now 6 members, this album has a mixture of Rap, Funk and Hardcore Punk, but at the same time even psychedelic rock influences. "Malón", "Montañas de Agua", "Patinador Sagrado" and "Koyote" were the singles released for this album.
In 1996 the band released the highly experimental Dopádromo. This album has all sorts of music from the highly psychedelic "Zumba" and "Su Majestad", hard rock tracks as "El Medium and "Su Ciervo", instrumentals and even a hasta un bossa nova: "Perfume Casino". Destacan también "¡Viva Satana!" and "El Médium" were the biggest hist from this record.
Their fourth album, Babasónica showcased a heavier edge than their previous three, being influenced by heavy metal with distorted riffs and guitar solos on many songs ("Egocripta", "Demonomanía", "El Adversario"). On the other hand, the album has a softer acoustic side, with the delicate ballads "Sharon Tate" and "Esther Narcótica". The band has declared that this was meant to balance out the roughness of the heavier songs. Some tracks even include both stylistic approaches at once making for interesting contrast, like "Parafinada" or "Convoy". Lyrically, the album deals with the concepts of satanism. The band has declared that this approach isn't meant to be taken at face value, but as homage to classic metal, and as an attack on common Western ways of thinking, such as religion.
On their fifth release Miami, DJ Peggyn participated as a member of the band for the last time, he was sacked as his contributions were no longer felt necessary for the band. In 2000 he went for a solo career, renaming himself Jimmy Dolor. The album cover was designed by Alejandro Ros. It is a map of Argentina turned 90 degrees clockwise, resembling a map of the east coast of the United States; the map places a fictional Miami in the Argentinian province of Misiones. After the release of the album, Cosme, their manager, left the band.
After the release of Jessico (2001), Babasónicos shifted into a more pop-influenced sound and reached massive mainstream success, becoming one of Latin America's top bands.
Their follow up records, Infame (2003), Anoche (2005) , Mucho (2008), A Propósito (2011), Romantisismico (2014) and Discutible (2018), further expended this sound and merged it with their early psychedelic and experimental influences.
In 1999 they collaborated with alternative rock artist Ian Brown on a track for his second studio album, Golden Greats, that bears their name.
In early 2008, the official site informed that after a long and painful struggle with Hodgkins lymphoma, bass player Gabriel "Gabo" Mannelli passed away on January the 12th. He was 38 years old.
Since then, Babasónicos teamed up with long-time-friend Carca to temporarily replace Gabo, until late 2011 when Tuta Torres (ex-bassist from Los Látigos) joined the group as their new official bass player, with Carca now serving as a multi-instrumentalist.

The song Microdancing by Babasónicos is about going out to dance and have a good time, but with a sense of detachment and lack of expectations. The first two stanzas seem to address someone who has been difficult to go out with before, with the singer asking for reassurance that they won't ruin the party. He also makes it clear that he will not offer anything more than just being there, as he sings "No esperes nada de mi" (Don't expect anything from me). The repetitive chorus of "Apretados, microdancing" (Tight, microdancing) creates a sense of intimacy and energy, emphasizing the physicality of being in a crowd of people, dancing tightly together.
The bridge and last stanzas, on the other hand, are about the pure joy that comes with dancing, and doing what one loves. The singer repeats the phrase "Haciendo lo que más me gusta" (Doing what I love the most) multiple times, emphasizing the carefree nature of dancing, and how it can be an escape from the rest of the world. Overall, the lyrics capture the feeling of going out to a party with a sense of detachment, just for the sake of dancing and being in the moment.

Microdancing = Microdosing, la tecnica de estudio que se aplica a personas quienes han sido adictos anteriormente y que solo pueden superar el dia a dia, con bajas dosis de droga (psicodelico). Normalmente administrado por el estado o por un estudio cientifico. Por eso en la cancion los personajes alucinan cosas, les cae peluches y consideran que anteriormente causaban verguenza por estar en grandes de dosis de droga. Por eso tambien dice, "no esperes nada de mi" Una genialidad de Babasonicos
@rolingston25
buen analisis pero dudo que hayan querido cantarle al microdosing, fue mas una flayada de los Dargelos para mi
