Digitalism @ Snafu, Aberdeen, 23 Nov

Article by Jaco Justice | 03 Nov 2008

Here, lets play a little game. I mention a production duo, you think of a colour. Actually, you know what… it’s already too late – once you scanned over the title above the wee ‘going out’ goblins started riddling through your membrane whispering English translated German rhetoric that’s now got your inner slime boiling in deadly sin. “Am I not always be wanting this?” Yes please, Godammit. The Hamburg bred pairing of Jence and Isi make up a power-tribe - a little less android than Daft Punk, with a touch of Moroder-style synthesiser arranging at its darkest, and heavy on the Depeche Mode influence too, plus a frequently used seedy snare tone that jabs and jostles with the kick drum for dominance on every track. It must be noted that tonight is a DJ set not a live gig, but still expect to grapple heavily with the Digitalism ‘hummers’ that’ll get you home safe, like Apollo Gize from last year’s debut LP Idealism.
