LOFI 033EP

"Inspired by the early works of electronic music pioneers such as the Normal, Fad Gadget, Gary Numan and Soft Cell...Neongrau (2004+ compatible) delivers the ideal soundtrack for urban catwalks and cult b-movies. With a respectful nod to the past and a wary eye on the phuture, Neongrau sways to an ice cool, minority groove. While in the cut-up tradition of William Burroughs and in line with the nightmarish visions of David Cronenborg's Videodrome -- both music and lyrics are the result of a dangerous flirtation with technology. Intent on fucking up the grey masses by appropriating text from the daily deluge of spam-mail and by lovingly dissecting the rotten heart of daytime talk shows, neongrau combines 'ultra exotic old school sounds' with biting sarcasm -- responding with venom to the banal, paranoia inducing marketing slogans and empty headed drivel that creep unnoticed into our everyday lives via television and the internet. The timeless electro pop on offer here is complimented perfectly by a peak time compatible patrick pulsinger mix of hi-level slacker (+), who skilfully manipulates the downbeat original into a dark, thumping electro-house anthem. Hi-level trash-glam for hi-level indi(e)viduals."
