LazyTapes is back, kicking off the year 2020 with a set of ruffneck club sonics from Andrea Natale, aka Anna Funk Damage!
Reaching level 10 on the barometer of sleaze, sweat & hardcore rhythm, this record recalls the undeniably frustrated, yet care-free anti-establishment energy of the likes of Nitzer Ebb, Spectre, The Mover, Egyptian Lover, DJ Rashad & Techno Animal, while sounding fresh and loaded with the trademark intensity of Anna Funk Damage’s unhinged, raw & free-styling production technique.
The A side of the disc grinds into gear in slapdash EBM & Industrial styles with ‘Badass Bitch’ and ‘Bloodydeath’. Flip it to the B side for extra doses of speed injected straight into the vein, with the f*cked up trance cut ‘Elm Street Faster Edition’ and the mangled footwork vs bassbin techno rhythm ‘This Is Why I’m Hot’, finishing this burner of a record with a relentless staccato of kicks, hi hats and trash-can snares, with the underlying blue chords hinting at a chance of solace amongst the flames.

This music is insistent and relentless. The fact that it has a ritualistic feel, with almost all sounds pushed to the edge of explosion isn't an accident. Well worth repeated listening. veenstar
