{"product_id":"madmadmad-overload","title":"MADMADMAD - Overload","description":"\u003cp\u003eMADMADMAD’s EP \u003cem\u003eOverload \u003c\/em\u003eis a thrillingly chaotic, genre-warping ride —think Mr Oizo on acid— that fuses fuzzy basslines, jagged guitars, and analog synth delirium into a dancefloor-ready collage of sound. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the Kraftwerk-tinged pulse of \u003cem\u003eOverload\u003c\/em\u003e to the acid-soaked, breakneck energy of “The Way” channeling The Chemical Brothers or Gesaffelstein, the record constantly shape-shifts while maintaining a raw, propulsive core. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracks like “Mezcal” drift into hypnotic, minimal grooves reminiscent of Aphex Twin, while “Tout le Monde” and “Turn It Up” inject playful, off-kilter funk inspired by Tom Zé, Prince, ESG, and Beck. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe title track closes on a high with a gritty, disco-infused groove nodding to early Daft Punk. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcross the EP, MADMADMAD embrace disorientation as an artistic statement, drawing inspiration from Dadaism to mirror the overwhelming, information-saturated chaos of modern life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eListening to MADMADMAD can be delightfully disorienting, and that quality extends to the band’s collagist, CRT-infused and homemade visual art that accompanies their music. “History goes in cycles, and we feel there’s a correlation with what happened a century ago, when everything was so chaotic and people had a hard time making sense of what was going on in the world,” Benji explains while describing how the band takes cues from the 20th century’s Dadaist movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“It feels like we’re at that moment again—where it’s quite hard to make sense of everything with so much information every day. There was quite a lot of confusion back then after the first world war and a global pandemic, and the response of the arts was to reflect the nonsensical place the world was at. We feel heavily influenced by that.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Def Pressé","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\" EP","offer_id":51287470965014,"sku":"RMX-67174","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD EP","offer_id":51287470997782,"sku":"RMX-67175","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/04387691b326a6799bc3f5b9155a22d6.png?v=1777987955","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/madmadmad-overload","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
