Artist:	DAT POLITICS
Title:	Villiger
Label:	A-MUSIK (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	A 015CD

"Apparently they're an all-laptop quintet from Lille, France (although I could be wrong about the geography), borne out of the ashes of Sub Rosa recording act/post-rock entity Tone Rec. This, their third release (see Tracto Flirt on Skipp as well as a Fat Cat Split Single with Process) works it wisely, mixing the glick-beats with the glitch-melodies and sounds, with (what I'm told is) a sexy live show on the festival circuit. The first of certainly a growing wave of contemporary 'computer bands', you really can't go wrong with just about anything on this disk. I suggest investigating now to avoid imminent embarrassment later." -- Hrvatski. Limited stock.

Title:	Plugs Plus
Label:	CHICKS ON SPEED RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	COSR 006CD

Plugs Plus is the fourth album by the computer quartet Dat Politics. Based in the historic industrial city of Lille, their cheap laptops generate epileptic micro-rhythms escorted by child-like acid melodies. But the real novelty resides in the warped and distortioned singing exercises which are mixed-up inside their digital hymns. Help in their experiments comes from some protagonists of the international electronica jet-set -- Blectum From Blechdom, Matmos, Kid 606, Felix Kubin, Lesser -- and as a result, Plugs Plus is a pixellated pop snapshot focused on failed flirt and gastronomy. After work with innovative and respectable labels such as A-Musik, Mille Plateaux, Skipp and Tigerbeat6, the laptop-band collaborates here with the electro-trash label from the Berlin-based trio Chicks On Speed to diffuse their domestic and terribly exotic new sonic adventures. Funny, futuristic and radical: this is future electronic pop.

Title:	Go Pets Go
Label:	CHICKS ON SPEED RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	COSR 015CD

2004 release. The French northern electronic trio Dat Politics presents their fifth record. Taking up again the pop elements of their previous release Plugs Plus (COSR 006CD), Dat Politics confirm their attachment to naive and hypnotic melodies and propose some complex and efficient digital compositions. Go Pets Go is without a doubt the trio's most complete album, gathering all the sonic facets from their previous works: a digital folk touch supported by collaborations with Kevin Blechdom and Nathan Michel, some dream-like and cynical lyrics, a couple of Nintendo techno mini-hits and compositions based on recordings of insects and pets.

Title:	Wow Twist
Label:	CHICKS ON SPEED RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	COSR 031CD

On their third album for Chicks On Speed Records, DAT Politics are more fun and exciting than ever. With Wow Twist they finally capture the pure raw euphoria of their live sets and confront glitch, power pop, electronica and punk on their most song-oriented and fresh album to date. The French laptop trio make their album sound mature and pop, without affecting their taste for the playful electronic odysseys and obviously, the eleven titles of Wow Twist possess a new knack for perversely catchy hooks.

Title:	Mad Kit
Label:	CHICKS ON SPEED RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	COSR 040CD

This is DAT Politics' fourth full-length record for the Chicks On Speed label. France's favorite electro-Chiptune pioneers do it again with Mad Kit, gathering together a special type of straight-beat propulsion in their gloriously catchy, melodic and eminently danceable music. This album is an espresso shot of playful, booty-shaking, dance-y synth-pop ripe with digitalized vocals, distorted breaks and electric frequencies that will most definitely permanently place them in a luxury spot on the international electronic map. These are ridiculously bleepy, squiggly tracks in a neon-spectrum of zigzagging rainbow colors. Mad Kit creates its own hyperactive sound with a solid body of tracks that will be in heavy rotation, rocking braindance parties all over the world.
