RELEASE DATE: 10/3/2025
Rathauz is a cybernetic media ritual from Veneto's paranoid hinterlands -- a clandestine A‑zienda founded by masked brothers, mythologizing techno as direct action. Ciccio Bomba Cannoniere is a gateway drug, a gateway into the cybernetic multimedia cult of Rathauz. And while a physical release might run counter to the insanely futuristic drive of the Rathauz, it's probably the album of the year so buckle up. For the uninitiated the A side might play out like merely the best goddam side of actually fun techno you've heard in 2020s. Rollicking acidic galompers. The most techno can get in the bin these days but this swinging evil continuum championed by Acidic Male/Giant Swan/Missterspoon is more than right. Rathauz add internet dial up noises, reggaeton shuffle, distorted screams and frayed EBM arps into this heady heady mix, showing they're about twice as interesting as the top 10 techno on Bandcamp already. Then side B gets rolling with boom baps and distorted guitars in a kinda frat-trap circle pit. This is the sound online Rathauz disciples know and love; electro-punk-trap-pop twisted genius. Their scifi vision and demented humor reminds listeners most closely of the beloved Kinlaw & Franco Franco if Franco had spent more time living in Milanese squats. Vinyl with printed sleeve.
