Mittelstandskinder Ohne Strom: Early Bird

[earwall]

Tech-trance emerged in the late nineties as an alternative to the more organic and cluttered psychedelic trance sound. Here, German tech-trancers Mittelstandskinder Ohne Strom bring us a darkly melodic track from their 1999 album "Bug", with cold string washes and layers of buzzing, snarling, electric noise. Tightly interlocked percussion keeps the proceedings funky, synth bass bobs and weaves through an assortment of patterns, and it all gets down in a peculiar post-apocalyptic kind of way; if the T-800s from the first Terminator movie ever threw a rave, this is what they might shake exoskeleton to.
