I don't know if this helps you a lot or not, but in a genre called Hardstyle, they do this all the time.
Basically what it is, is synthesizing a kick in a synth, by using a sine osc with a pitch envelope.
The frequency then drops from really high to really low in very few ms and stops dropping once it hits the desired note and goes on for as long as you hold in the key.
After that, you add a kick sample, but make it so short so that only the punch is in there.
So you have one layer of kick and one layer of punch.
You play your notes on the kick-layer and leave the punch-layer intact.
That way you can make it sound like the kick is tuned, without loosing the ever important transients of the kick.
I haven't heard the song you're on about though, so I could be totally wrong, but that's how it's done in Hardstyle.
There's even a video of it on youtube.com (Caution, very hard and loud):
