PLASTIK LIEB by MARK BOOMBASTIC

"Mark Boombastik is apparently the world’s #1 experimental human beatbox. I wouldn’t have guessed that from the sound of these two tracks, but I believe it. 'Plastik Lieb' sounds a lot like Sex Unter Wasser-era DAF and I mean that as a compliment. The B side is a very odd, but also funny piece of music. Excellent Meeuw release. Mesmerizing cover. The legend lives on. Fantastik, Boombastik! (The extra ‘k’ is an extra kiss.)

"Its been a while since we last heard a new 7 by Meeuw Muzak, but then here a brand new 7" by Mark Boombastik, who already released I Hate Art Galleries on the same label, as well as material for other labels, such Solotempo, Lou Records, Gagarin Records, Tomlab etc. His background is in the field of hip hop, so he’s probably better known in other, non Vital areas. He has worked with Patric Catani (Candie Hank), Funkstoerung, Felix Kubin and such alike. The music is not really hip hop like (as far as I can judge, not being fully known with the genre), but Boombastik uses a stomping rhythm, deep bass sound, something that sounds like a theremin and German vocals, which sing about our love for plastic. Quite biting the a-side, maybe even a political edge to it. The b-side is a looped voice duet between where is my hope and where is my fear, along with fucked up rhythm backing. Quite chilling this one. Great labels here too: based on the energy chocolate which keeps drivers awake.
