Info: For nearly 15 years, Bauchklang has been creating electronic music solely with their voices. Through Mouth Percussion and Human Beatboxing, Bauchklang generates a total sound whose wide sonic spectrum, rhythmic accentuation, and brutal massiveness are hardly graspable for the audience, yet all the more impressive. Bauchklang combines and condenses Dub, Electro, and HipHop into multifaceted, complex soundscapes, groove-oriented yet simultaneously atmospheric. After more than 600 performances in 25 different countries, Bauchklang was awarded the Austrian music prize "Amadeus Awards" in 2010 in the categories "Best Live Act" and "Alternative."
The band's latest releases include the studio album "Signs" (featuring Ursula Rucker & Tez) and the audio-visual document "Bauchklang Live in Mumbai" created in India.
After their celebrated performance as the opening act at Fusion 2011, Bauchklang is now touring Germany in the fall with a new EP "Le Mans" in tow.

„the human voice here is not only the best instrument, but the mightiest and most precise of machines, perfect substitute for electronically generated beats and infrabass.line which are put together to an authentic acoustic and visual hallucination of an unequalled rhythmic energy“
(vanguardia spain)
„like samplers of blood and flesh“

EP Info "Le Mans": With the new EP "Le Mans," Bauchklang presents for the first time a consistently club-compatible and minimalist variant of their sound aesthetic. The "Vocal Groove Project" already released two groundbreaking club tracks for them, "Create" and "Come Along" (from the album "Signs"), the previous year. With "Le Mans," Bauchklang shifts into a higher gear. They still forgo instruments or electronic sound sources and whirl their virtuosic sounds, created solely with voice and mouth, up to the misty, damp club ceiling.
Bauchklang has consistently developed and perfected their puristic sound over the years. With three new, full-bodied grooving tracks, they now present organic electronic music that has not existed in this form before.
The basic idea for "Le Mans," the title track of their new EP, originated during the soundcheck at a French festival that took place in November of the previous year in Le Mans. Around the hook created there, which is reflected in the bass and the parallel vocal "synth sound," a precise, energy-filled minimal track forms, which relies solely on 5 audio tracks. This approach proved effective throughout the entire studio production and ultimately also in the live implementation of the three new works.
“Berging” begins with a funky minimal house groove, patiently built up by a rapidly swirling sound, until the phrase “You know it goes differently!” shifts the track into another atmosphere. Gradually, the track is intensified with sixteenth-note hi-hats and offset percussive elements to the point of ecstasy.
The third number in the bunch is the track “Afro Side Up.” A hypnotic drum pattern is carried by a swaying voice in space delay and a rich bass line, spreading positive vibes over the duration of four minutes and fourteen seconds, inviting enjoyment in endless loops just before sunrise.
The EP "Le Mans" was digitally released on 30.09.2011.
