Feel my Bicep

NEU! is a German based Krautrock super group made up of Michael Rother & Klaus Dinger. Klaus Dinger played drums on the first Kraftwerk LP in 1971. The following year he joined forces with Michael Rother and they formed Neu!, releasing their self-titled debut LP on German label Brain. Their music was heavily innovative and influential, melting distorted guitars with metronomic drumming, noise effects and tapes.

As you can hear its some pretty trippy shit, perfect music to drive to epically if your nailing canisters of Mescaline and regularly swatting bats from your vision. Seen this second release of this for sale in a fleamarket in Prenzlauer Berg for €30, got it for £2 in Stoke Newington. Bargins!

Cut this tune out of my CBS top 100...i really liked this thune a couple of years ago when i was going through my minimal techno phase. I loved the funky acid bassline constantly getting tweaked combined with the creepy vocals and the 808/707 beat. Would sound right at home in my favourite fabric cd- the Death in Vegas one ;) exercise those analogue fingers!

After being raised in the cornfields of Indiana and brought up on Midwest house & techno (Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Derrick Carter, D-Wynn), Troy became a bit jaded by ten years in New York where the struggling minimal techno scene consisted of a handful of die-hard fanatics…Then moved to Berlin and hooked up with Richie’s M_nus crew and things changed.

He goes under the alter ego Louderbach in which he has made a couple of cracker EPs. Here are a couple of tunes to get you started!
