Time to blow the speakers.

Hadouken! - That Boy That Girl

We’ve been a bit slow off the mark with Hadouken! really. We only heard them for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

However!

They have a tune called ‘That Boy That Girl’, which is our tune of the week. We don’t know when it’s actually released but it is definitely the tune of this week. And most other weeks too, probably.

Sounding at times like ‘Crazy Beat’ by Blur fed through a techno blender, it is the aural equivalent of being beaten up by a gang of hoodies who use glowsticks as weapons and who are quite happy to leave you with little more than 12p in change and the word TWAT scrawled on your forehead as a memento of the experience.

If more people made records that sounded like this, they could invent a genre where all the tunes are like updated versions of the old rave records from the early nineties… but what would they call it? Our money’s on ‘Now Rave’, or ‘Current Techno’.

It’s going to be HUGE.
