Hermutt Lobby are all about combining a dirty kind of funkiness with a clean programming interface. The collective of musicians and programming-nerds has come up with a beatsurfing-App – it’s an ingenious Midi Control Building Tool, which will help revolutionize digital live-performances by the use of a fully individualizable and organic user interface. The freedom created by the use of such a digital interface allows them to take back the old energies, which have been regulated for years by presets and static mouse-driven surfaces. This energy makes the playful and colorful HipHop-beats gain an impressive light-footedness and vitality, makes them sound live instead of programmed. In a certain way, the beatsurfing-technology is the MPC of the digital age – even more flexible and even closer to the beat. Hence, with its shilly-shally beats and 8-bit sound aesthetics, »Haters Gonna Hate« sounds much more alive than other releases from similar genres on Brainfeeder and Co. It’s a directness absolutely vital to HipHop-beats. Unfortunately, some digital natives have forgotten about that. Now is the time for a reunion.
