Anima Sound System

We Strike

have never been average, have never been conformed, have never been upper classy.
And their attitude didn´t change with “We Strike!”.
Without any exaggeration Anima Sound System is the
hottest and most exciting collective Hungary´s pulsating
electronic music scene has to offer.
With their brand new album Anima Sound System has finally
transcended the Hungarian boarders, raising their voices against
racism and homophobia, carrying their invocations for
individual freedom and the underprivileged victims of our so
called free-market economy into the world. In a world where the gap
between rich and poor is increasing, where the freedom of individuals
is getting more and more restricted, in a world where shareholder
interests count more than human rights and wars are about oil,
in this world it´s time to stand up and defend!
This is the tenor of “We Strike!”.
Consequently this album is not about a never ending party,
the abhorrently happy teenage life of millionaire heiress buying herself a
pink Ferrari to be en vogue and dressing up like a high-class hooker
to cause the attention she is considering as respect.
This album is about war, unemployment and social drawbacks,
this is album is about the real world we are all living in!
Songs like “World at War”, “Technotoys Blues”, “Open Your Eyes”
or the title track “We Strike!” want to galvanize us,
explaining that we are a part of the system as well, sometimes
without even noticing it.Anima Sound System succeeds in transferring
their messages flavoured with social ideologies, based on
an explosive fundament of radical mixed influences from
entirely different styles, in a fascinating way.
They are on their tightrope walk between the genres,
fusing Dub, Downbeat, Broken Beats with housy elements,
rocking Dance Hall riddims as well as their Panonian roots.
For all sophisticated music lovers out there who expect
admirable music in combination with non-conformist lyrics
based on social criticism.
“We Strike!” is a "must have"!
