Press Info:
Wellen.Brecher is an electronic band with punk attitude, which has been transcending and subverting electronic music genre boundaries for the past 6 years. After the release of Tierisch Verboten, which can confidently be described as the “soundtrack to inclusion”, and a strong second release on our label Killekill, LIEBESERKLARUNG is the band’s first full-length album. Including a series of first-class remixes.?

Refreshingly, the entire release is not based on the corny bad trance traditions loved by contemporary Buffalo shoe wearers. Instead – intentionally or not – it follows a series of almost historical musical quotations from over the last 40 years with each track on the album feeling like a new adventure.

The album opens with TUROFFNER, which has a kind of an Afrika Bambaataa intro, before turning into a wonderfully tresoresque/Detroit techno beast, always commented on or counteracted by the vocals – just like (almost) all the tracks on the album: a new round, a new crazy ride – bumper car lyrics on a powerful stomping reduction of a 90s track.

From here we leap backwards in time into grey West Berlin of the 80s with ROBOT GIRL which shifts and drifts like a bug in buttermilk somewhere between Grauzone and Alan Vega. Next track KAPUTT kicks in with a bang and smashes everything in the best EBM tradition – this could have been played in a techno club in Frankfurt, both in terms of lyrics and sound. Line up for Elektropogo please!

After all the stomping Wellen.Brecher bring in something completely different with VOICE OF A GENERATION: dramatic vocals over delicate breaks which gradually dissolve into arpeggios on a high-quality trance carpet. Challenge complete! ?JULIA takes us back to the late eighties in the dark but fun Belgian-Detroit early trance with new beat appeal. TUNNEL TRANCE would have been a good fit for dancing around the Berlin Siegessaule in, let’s say, 1998.

Relentless 4/4 beats with a hook-line on speed surrounded by acidophilic bows and, on top, the vocal commentary arriving as if from the man behind the glass of the Ferris wheel. In your mind’s eye, you can see fur-shoed gym ravers in bright neon jumping through the Tiergarten like rubber balls.

The cover version of the classic TECHNO DJ is an homage to good old punk – torn apart and reassembled in true Wellen.Brecher style. The closer TIERISCH VERBOTEN brings all the emotion rushing back: fat beats beckon slowly from afar, before the curtain comes up for an epic synth finale.

The harsh, albeit true words really drive you in. It’s not necessary, but perhaps it’s good to point it out: Inclusion can easily be experienced with music like this. Fuck AfD!
