Reviews and Comments
Blending sounds of New Wave, Indie & techno, Das Beat's sound is distinguished by the vocals of Eddie Rabenberger. Singing in both German and English, she brings a performative element to the project: trying on different characters via screaming, shouting, soft singing and spoken word.
The music is produced by Canadian-born Alexander Cowan, aka DJ Kirby, who is one half of Blue Hawaii as well as the mixer for Brutalismus 3000, amongst others in Berlin's scene. Their songs are defined by dreamy atmospherics, driving synths & beats, guitars as well as a bassy pulse or “das beat”.
The new single “Ohrwurm” takes a cue from early German new wave artists such as DAF. The lyrics are cheeky, “du bist ein ohrwurm für die augen“, translating in English to "you are an earworm for the eyes”.
