Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Slaves to the driving Motorik beat (central to much of the Krautrock movement), they are also influenced by the endless cyclical rhythms of minimal techno. Catch Minami Deutsch / 南ドイツ's hypnotic Bristol debut for Gravy Train at The Lanes on 12th April. Tickets:"

Join us at The Lanes for some hypnotic Japanese Krautrock!
After a long european tour in september - october 2017 Minami Deutsch announce the new album for april 2018.
Minami Deutsch’s debut album is sated with an absolute love toward Krautrock and the driving Motorik beat.
Minami Deutsch was formed by Kyotaro Miula (guitar, vocals, synthesizer) in Tokyo in 2014. Their sound is influenced by both their love for Krautrock legends such as Can and Neu!, and the band members being self-professed "repetition freaks" who heavily listen to minimal techno.
The music proceeds straightforwardly with the Motorik beat (Hammer beat), devised by Klaus Dinger (Kraftwerk, Neu!), as its central axis. Humorous, yet bizarre Japanese lyrics are whispered over a hard, cold beat that is maniacally repeated, creating a pleasant ambience of electronic pulses drifting in space. Sharp guitar tones reminiscent of Michael Karoli (Can) occasionally explode into fuzz distortion, on the verge of collapse.
