Da Monkey Club

bahntier — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 13:02:16 +0000

Dgtlmonkey is back from “The land of dirty beats and bananas” with his brand new album “Da Monkey Club, a “milestone” for the electro panorama in nowadays club music. His refined melodies, sophisticated and unconventional sounds chase each other, get mixed, condensed in 13 tracks that are a kind of musical frames in the history of electronic music. Listening “Da Monkey Cub” gives you the idea of a complete time travel divided in different stages where the electronic music, from the 90’s to the present, is completely revised and almost rewritten, infected with the most diverse contaminations that built the musical background of the artist.

The journey begins with “Opening Act”, which surprises and upsets with its break rhythms, like “Rise my peopole”, definitely the crown jewel of the album: the voice of Hanin Elias (ex-Atari Teenage Riot) , who is also the author of the lyrics, drags into a vortex that leaves with bated breath and literally brings the emergence and resurgence of the most captivating break beat. Electro style is perfectly represented in “Rubber & Chains”, “Like a Machine”and “Commit your sin”, the natural evolution of the “Dgtlmonkey style”, that ruled in the debut album, much appreciated by the public and international critique. The trip comes to more techno sound with “Master Oizo”, a brilliant and sick tribute to Mr. Oizo (who would surely comment with a nice “mon Dieu!”), suddenly it gets to unexpected funky house and disco reworking with “Disfunktion”, “Preso been (feeling good)” and “Jesus on the cube”, and to the atmosphere with a trance flavour of “trance-ition” and “Chorea minor”. Finally the experiment becomes more extreme with “KMKL”, the most unusual and “out of genre” track of the entire work, spiced with the voice of Ange Leena, and “Sunshine” that completes the album between acoustic guitars and technodream melodies. Whether or not fans of the genre, crossing the threshold of the Monkey Club is a must, once inside, you could never go

His music is an interpretation of very complex ideologies imbued with a violently non-traditional, but ultimately transparent sense of beauty. On Lop Lop Merzbow takes a step in a new direction from his recent releases and focuses on manipulating sounds and harsh beats in a way meant to make a new mark on the face of his well known style. The synths and guitars scream and sing in a way which allows them to be heard through all the oppressive noise, often returning to ferocious power electronics sounds which clearly define the anger of this new release.

The cd comes in special paper packaging with an original painting by Masami Akita. LIMITED BOX 299 COPIES CONTAINS : 2 CD, POSTCARD, STICKER, ORIGINAL PENDAT

There is no need to argue: Merzbow stands as the most important artist in noise music. Akita began to bring about his own brand of noise music in 1979, and since then been constantly changing the very foundation his sound is built on. His music is an interpretation of very complex ideologies imbued with a violently non-traditional, but ultimately transparent sense of beauty.
