Raw Harmonic Techno * Squelchy Synths * Smacky Snares * Saucy Strings
„Kavinsky feels the Desire for a Caribou steak and Hot Chips. Modeselektor´s in the kitchen while DJ Koze runs the (Postal) Service and Daft Punk does the Dishes..." random German radio guy
Meerkat Meerkat is an electronic music duo from southern Germany making music in a wide variety of styles in their own distinguishable and recognizable soundsphere. Their take on electronic music is more on the maximal than on the minimal side. Rich harmonic parts alternate with straight dance and rhythm driven infernos. Free and improvised sections build up to emphatic climaxes. Custom made electronic and acoustic instruments merge with samples ranging from field recordings to old funk records. Weird percussion instruments meet vintage analog synthesizers and bouncy drum machines to form an eclectic interpretation of modern dance music with an analogue and organic vibe, ranging from Techno to Synth Wave to House. From the very start they developed their music out of their live set and therefore they do not simply reproduce their recorded music when playing live: they see themselves as genuine live musicians, so on stage they give their best to enhance their music for the audience, turning it upside down, changing the ingredients, stirring it up - making it a night worth remembering! Their first single Eleganz will be released 08/16/19. A full lenghts album is ready to follow! In September 2018 they were artists in residence at Villa Lena Art Foundation in Tuscany and teamed up with Kristopher Edelen (Chef KPE) and Magnus Chapple, who are featured as vocalists on their tracks.
MEERKAT MEERKAT are:
Manuel da Coll a.k.a. Cpt. Yossarian (percussion, composition) is a graduated Jazz Drummer from Anton Bruckner Conservatory in Linz. His other projects include drumming for LaBrassBanda and Pollyester.
Joe Masi (synths, composition) has a Master in Sound Studies and Sonic Arts from Berlins University of Arts. Besides Meerkat Meerkat he composes music for theatre and tv.
