Out now! Debut album by Hunter Complex

Hunter Complex is the moniker of Lars Meijer. On his self titled debut album he moves from synthpop to electro and from italo to new wave. Just like the European electronic acts The Tough Alliance, Neon Neon, JJ, M83 and Delorean, there's an imperative reference to the eighties in the music of Hunter Complex. Not only in the sound, but especially because of that intangible feeling. Meijer: 'It's a feeling that switches between whimsicality and melancholy. You can see that for example in Miami Vice - true television of the eighties: subtropical beaches, flamingos, but also nocturnal streets full of muggy evil.' More info on Hunter Complex here. The album is available on cd in our shop (10 EUR including shipping in Europe, 12 EUR including shipping outside Europe) and digitally via iTunes and emusic. Preview the track Wait in the player below.

This Friday, February 5 2010, we'll throw a party in one of Amsterdam's coolest venues, Smart Project Space. It's gonna get ugly with Boutros Bubba, Fine China Superbone and Katadreuffe. But there will also be some lushus spacing out situations going on with Hydrus and Puin + Hoop live sets. And to top that off, Hunter Complex will present his debut album Hunter Complex this night! An evening not to be missed, we would say! Be welcome from 20:30.

NRC Next reviews Retro Retry 2, Nalden plays Garçon Taupe and new reviews of Spoelstra and Katadreuffe

Retro Retry 2: Another Another Green World got some mainstream attention in NRC Next: 'Not all the remakes are evenly succesful, but I'm sure Eno will appreciate this album. After all, he always encouraged breaking down conventions.' Lobo by Garçon Taupe, elected dance track of 2009 on Eclectro, made it into the playlist of Nalden, a prominent Dutch lifestyle blogger. The Almighty Internet by Spoelstra has just been released, but already got two great reviews. Vital Weekly: 'Shut down Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and go that nice bar around the corner, and have some of this great music, preferably played by Spoelstra, sweating over his equipment. Loud is best, cold beer in your hand, and Spoelstra's quirky electro beats, chopped up synth lines, bits of noise will do the rest.' Incendiary Magazine on Spoelstra: 'I love it, and if you like the oddball, you’ll love it too.' Incendiary Magazine also reviewed Katadreuffe's Quel Gargantua EP: 'It’s a long time I heard any band so wound up and truculent, to be honest. Fantastic stuff.'

New Katadreuffe song on 3voor12 Hollandse Nieuwe 3 compilation

Besides giving one great show after another, Katadreuffe also has spent some time in the studio. Later this year they will release some new material on Narrominded. The song Cut Up Comfort on 3voor12's Hollandse Nieuwe 3 compilation is a taster of what is coming. And damn, it tastes good.
