Magnatech "Do the swine"

Since most animals that enter the surf space are lizards, dogs, cats or deformations that once were animals, I decided to link surf to pigs in this release. It's just a fun in-between single release for you December dance parties and it's rather Man or Astroman like from what I hear. Vintage Eurosurf-dance to the core, for a change. I'm sure you will like it. Here's "Do the swine"!

SRW264 Magnatech - Herr Magnatech bittet zum Tanz (Jacket CD)

image

Magnatech's 4th album provides you with an eclectic mix of stompers, ballads and twist tunes. From the Astronauts-like "Hecate" all the way to the sophisticated mid-tempo ballad "Blanche Monnier" you will embark on a journey that will lead you from the US to the UK, Netherlands, Germany, France and back to the Netherlands again all the while jumping to the beat but with a little time to breathe and cool down during the ballads, which invite you to slow dance or just enjoy the melody.

"Herr Magnatech bittet zum Tanz" is a collaboration with A Guy Who Owns An Organ and will keep you on the dancefloor whilst giving you also the chance to relax! We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!

Merry BAT-mas!

You think Gotham City is a peaceful city this Christmas? Ho Ho Ho! Put your gum under your seats, hold your nose, and get ready to deodorize Batman and fumigate his diabolical enemies! OUT NOW! "Batman Smells", from horror surf rockers Shriek if You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th, is an ode to the season of The Caped Crusader's fetid, foul, funky, malodorous, putrid, rancid, rank, reeking suit and is available for streaming and purchase on Bandcamp! For those who dare download the single will receive additional digitized Yuletide gifts! So be sure to use that grapple gun and swing over to the link below! Will Robin sprout an embryo encased in a hardened calcium carbonate shell? Can the Batmobile keep its tires from relinquishing the axle? Is this the ghastly end of our dynamic duo? For Batman's sake, keep your fingers crossed and your nasal passages plugged at all times! Same Shriek-time, same Shriek-channel!
