Dat Politics

They are my new best friends.

Watch their video THIS WAY and then follow up with this one (most excellent!)

Be sure to visit the entire ski-pp site-- definitely worth the trip!

The group was formed in october 1998 and are a 4 piece unit based from the northern French city of Lille.
Three of the group’s members have been operating for several years under the name Tone Rec with 3 albums on the SubRosa label from Bruxelles, Belgium.

Dat Politics was simultaneously discovered by the London, UK based label Fat Cat and the Cologne, Germany based A-Musik label, who released their first records.
After that they started their own label Skipp.

They're an all-laptop quartet mixing click-beats with glitch-melodies and sounds, but they sound very unlike most other laptop musicians. Their music is a mixture between minimalism, electro - pop- acoustic & deconstructed techno, with a very joyful and humorous touch to it.
