Rave is back. Zomby paid homage to the beginning of the year with his dubstep version of the UK 'Artkore the early nineties, and even the veterans The Prodigy sound on their latest album as if for "Charly" and "Everybody in the Place" Not a week passed. In a similar notch beat the Leipzig The Sonic Boom Foundation already with her self-titled debut album. On their current EP "Resistant to Change" they make with the title track first exactly where in the last year left off: rich bass, rave sirens and priceless voice, somewhere between the Happy Mondays, The KLF and ARE Weapons. "On the Hook" can then unusually restrained rhythm filling the rock roots reminiscent of the band before the "Alien to Me redoing the whole rave Arsenal will be driven to metal learn synth riffs, bratz term Oktavbasslinien and analog electronics Limonite. The most exciting track is, however, the eight-minute "Ignorance is Bliss", which begins at first like a dark version of EMF and turned over after three and a half minutes in a real dub monster. FMlyn sets the whole thing with his geezerhaften song, one of the more Audio Bullys than Shaun Ryder recalled to the crown. Connewitz rave on!
Also with new material at the start are Me And The White Tiger who delivered should at the beginning of the year with "I Am the Enemy" a secret dance floor-filler at the splices. The edgy, always in black and yellow tape-held aesthetic is very reminiscent of the industrial chic of the Hacienda, which otherwise would have been less than TSBF the Manchester sound of the early nineties Godfather. Instead, on her new song "We Are Discoteque", to which was the first time a video shot, especially similarities with Scandinavian electropop acts such as Moa, The Knife, Luomo audible and especially Gus Gus. Both the sound and the song is a pleasant contrast with the provincial stuffiness that seems to now dominate both the indie scene and the glossy pop from Flensburg to Konstanz. It would be desirable that Me and the White Tiger with their debut album "Hedonist" , which will be released soon, get beyond the Leipzig city limits deserved appreciation. Otherwise you can with "We Are Discoteque" and a concert at the Leipzig Moritzbastei 27.12. put off.
