What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Maggie feeling happy.

Now DAT POLITICS, which I'm guessing is a pun on Marx's best seller. Well I'm not sure this would really be the revolutionary wordsmith's thing with its cheeky electro tweeness. It's like music for a kids disco so high on tartrazine and chocolate that they 're bouncing off the walls. Fast beats and flicking electronic sounds act as a back drop for fast sampled vocals. Final track sounds like the sugar has worn off and post hot bath as they're are ready for bed time.

What the label says:

We, at LJUD Records, are indeed very proud to present our new release:
The major french Laptop equilibrists: DAT Politics.
It's been “Oh so quiet” for a long long time, but finally DAT Politics is ready to release again.
And oh my... what joyfull sounds!!

This time DAT Politics have moved even closer to the pop sphere. Almost straight foreword songs, sweet melodies and catchy beats makes this record sound like the party you really wanna be at. But still they know that sweet melodies sounds the best when mixed with disturbing elements of noise.
Imagine a band who's members are: Hubba Bubba bubblegum, 80’s Nintendo games, all sorts of plastic space guns you got for Christmas in 1983, Fischer Price music instruments, tons of fantasy, children's music on LSD, dadaism and one hell of a big love for music. This kind of band is DAT Politics!
As British Vice Magazine once wrote about them: "The Living proof that experimental music doesn’t have to have its head up its own arse."

Side A contains the track Roll taken from their new album Wow Twist, out on Chicks on Speed Records from march 31st.
An uptempo classic melodic DAT Politics tune

Side B contains two exclusive tracks: Amazing Dan and Space Kitchen Companion. Where as Amazing Dan is once again a sweet melodic nonsens-song based tune, with a deep fuzzy bass line and distinct clear melodies on top Space Kitchen Companion is the big surprise of the 7”. On this track the French tradition for Musique Concrete is obvious, even though it isn't Concrete. Long dark soundscapes topped with sweet articulations of La-la-la’s.

DAT Politics are the founders of Skipp Records and have released on many respected labels such as: Skipp, Tigerbeat 6, Chicks on Speed Records, Fat Cat, Mille Plateaux, A-Musik etc.
