The place to get in touch with the latest electronic music.
• Fiedel (MMM) - FACT Mix 140 • April 2010
If you’ve been anywhere near a decent dancefloor in the past two months, chances are you’ve been subjected to the full-body rave assault that is MMM’s ‘Nous Sommes MMM’
MMM – the Berlin-based duo of Erik Wiegand and Fiedel – make unashamedly banging music, rooted in the finest traditions of techno, disco and electro. But there’s more to their tracks than mere club-quaking gusto: a kind of wildness and instability that no conventional producer would dare countenance, coupled with a surgical attention to detail that no conventional producer would even be capable of. This is music that sounds live, alive, intuitive, but also utterly disciplined and deliberate: elements are looped, tweaked and exaggerated to the point of near-abstraction; ‘Nous Sommes MMM’ doesn’t so much run along from A to B as jut out at you – we’re talking about electronic dance music that’s truly three-dimensional.
