Brass Rave Unit

If there was ever an aptly named band, it would be Brass Rave Unit. Merging the sounds of the Amsterdam underground with a sense of urgency and pulsating beats the trio pushes the sonic boundaries of their instruments, exploring boldly the realms where no band has gone before.

Somewhere reminiscent of post-unification Berlin, early 90’s Ibiza and
Providing the soundtrack for raving at the precipice, where late-stage capitalism rapidly commercializes and gentrifies the dancefloors Brass Rave Unit looks for the all-out party. Please leave your smartphone at the door and turn around two times at the intersection of MTV the Grind meets the Zion dancefloor scene in the Matrix Reloaded.

Brass Rave Unit is the quintessential and uniquely European live-rave act, their instrumental dance acrobatics weaves together a soundtracked narrative of (psy)trance, techno, (acid)house, Neue Deutsche Harte and Hi-NRG brought forth by musicians who have seen it all. Brass Rave Unit makes Brass Rave Music.

Energy ‘23 is the first effort of their to be released album coming later this year. With a pulsating 4-to-the-floor kick interspersed with the dictating sound of a heavily FX processed baritone saxophone it urges dancers to unleash their inner caveperson. Operating within the twilight zone between electronic music and organic live music Brass Rave Unit captures what can only be described as “heat”.

With Dam Swindle on board as producers they blend together the energy of a live band with the curated sensibilities of two veteran house producers. The combined knowledge and effort of two powerhouses of Dutch nightlife culture result in a sonic force to be reckoned with.
