8hands Featured Recommendation: DAT Politics
DAT Politics will make your head explode. They are extreme, fast & childish. They use toys, keyboards, laptops and human voices, mostly on a high pitch.
They started around 1999, in France. I remember seeing them live like six years ago – they were so incredibly cute and fun, and they made music that was perfect to that so called "braindance" era.
But unlike many of the electronic acts from back then, DAT Politics didn't stay in the same place. They have printed many releases over the last seven or eight years and each one was a bit more advanced than the other.
Their sound is very original, so you can always tell when a DAT Politics track is playing. But still, you can't compare early works such as the brilliant "Plugs Plus" to a newer release such as "Are Oui Phony??".
These days they are very poppy and using loads of vocals. I always liked them, so did the 8hands' octopus, but a lot of people claimed that they are too hard on the ears – now DAT Politics got to a point where almost everybody could enjoy them. That is, if they don't have a bad heart condition.
