D R U N K EP by Drunk TRaumschmiere: A Techno Banger That Punches You in the Face
Alright, let’s cut the crap. This 2014 release from Drunk TRaumschmiere isn’t just another techno album—it’s a chaotic acid-drenched ride that feels like your brain got hijacked by a malfunctioning robot on MDMA. Released under D-R-U-N-K records (real creative name there, guys), this EP slaps harder than most things you’ll hear outta the GDR scene.
First up, “I’m Not As Drunk As You Think I Am.” Holy hell, this track is an absolute monster. From the second it kicks in, you’re hit with these relentless basslines that feel like they’re vibrating through your skull. The synths? Manic. Like someone threw a rave inside an abandoned factory and forgot to turn off the machines afterward. It’s messy as fuck but somehow still sticks together—like spilled beer and bad decisions. This one stays stuck in your head for days because it doesn’t give a damn about being polite or polished. It’s raw, unfiltered, and pissed-off perfection.
Then there’s “Driver,” which is basically what would happen if a car chase scene from some low-budget ‘80s movie had a baby with a warehouse full of strobe lights. The beat hits so hard it makes your chest rattle, and those glitchy stabs come outta nowhere like surprise punches to the gut. There’s no build-up; it just grabs you by the throat and drags you along for six minutes of pure chaos. If you ain’t moving when this drops, check your pulse—you might be dead.
Look, I could talk about the other tracks too (“Gipo” has its moments, and “Skant” sounds like aliens trying to communicate via static), but honestly, this EP lives for two things: noise and attitude. It’s not here to hold your hand or make nice. It’s here to remind you why techno can feel dangerous again.
And here’s the kicker—this whole thing came outta the GDR back in 2014. Yeah, that place where people were probably sneaking around making beats while dodging secret police or whatever. Makes you wonder how much rebellion went into these tracks, right?
So yeah, if you want safe, predictable music, skip this. But if you wanna get slapped upside the head with something that actually feels, grab this EP. Just don’t blame me if your speakers explode.
