This song features clips of then-senator Joe Biden in a senate hearing in the 1990s floating legislation that would crack down on underground raves in an effort to curb illicit drug use. Originally referred to as the Reducing Americans’ Vulnerability to Ecstasy (RAVE) Act, it later passed under a different name in 2003.

The legislation is seen by many as a misguided remnant of the war-on-drugs hysteria of the 80s and 90s that may do more harm than good. The legislation discouraged music venues from taking harm reduction measures shown to reduce morbidity and mortality from MDMA use for fear they will be seen as tacitly allowing drug use in their venue.

Belgian analogue duo Borokov Borokov present their new EP on Magma Records. Inspired by a surreal, feverish dream by one of its members, World War captures the raw energy of the band’s live performances. 

Incorporating live musicians, including the voices of Lara Chedraoui (Intergalactic Lovers) and Frankie Traandruppel, and co-produced with Youniss Ahamad, the EP showcases Borokov Borokov’s distinctive blend of chaos and artistry while venturing into new dimensions of their sound. Departing from their signature DIY approach, the band enlisted Youniss Ahamad as a co-producer to bring out a visceral, live feel. Drums, bass guitars, and brass instruments layer over their electronic foundation, with guest vocalists adding depth to each track’s unique intensity.

World War is a molten blend of sounds and emotions—a dance between chaos and order, built to radiate heat that pulls listeners into its burning core. Balancing raw analog sequences, mesmerizing chants, distorted effects and hypnotic synth loops, their new output embodies the sounds of a post-apocalyptic dream, influenced by DFA-inspired Electro Funk, echoes of the Italo Disco era, angular post-punk, and trippy Acid House. 

Designed for the eccentrics of the dancefloor, the EP is slated for release on February 28 on vinyl and all digital platforms via Magma Records.

The first track, "Alles," creaks and groans, dragging the EP into motion. Featuring the imposing German chants of Lara Chedraoui ‘Alles’ is both visceral and haunting, raw yet ethereal—an all- encompassing sonic punch to the face, while luring you into the post-apocalyptic unknown. Fueled by a raging dichotomy—like fire and water—the single thrives within a dreamlike setting. Powered by Tim Caramin’s (Youniss) fierce drums, pounding like industrial machinery in full swing, all elements of this track converge in a relentless rhythm.

With its steady bassline and murmured vocals, "Wrong π" lures listeners into Frankie Traandruppel’s meandering musings on pastries—a hypnotic spiral where each word dissolves into a sugary haze. The track’s punchy rhythm and groove evoke the energy of an old DFA record, as if recorded live at an abandoned warehouse in New York, with the groove gradually melting reality like caramel flan and embodying a chaotic discipline. In a world teetering on the edge of order and chaos, Frankie surrenders to entropy, devouring the entire pie: "DON’T BUY MY PIE!"

'If This Is The Title Of This Track You'd Better Listen To A Bob Dylan Song' delivers a layered, rebellious soundscape that boldly declares itself a protest song. Belgian musician Benjamin Hermans’ brass runs against the grain with shifting time signatures, defying conformity while evoking the melting surreality of a dreamscape. Over this, drummer Simon Pas adds a dub drum beat that wavers like a mirage in the scorching sun, his vision blurring until everything fuses into a single black spot—a “dubsturbance” born of heat and dissonance.

In "Uomo," the EP’s final track, Lara Chedraoui’s voice resonates with the line “Ruins bathing in light,” setting a haunting tone over an electro-funk beat in D minor, the saddest of keys. Here, human oblivion shifts to manmade extinction. Switching at times into Italian, the lyrics reveal a striking vision: the driver of the Anthropocene isn’t just “human”—it’s “uomo”, a figure both powerful and tragic. With a nod to Italo disco, "Uomo" flips melancholy on its head, trading lightness for sadness in a dance at the edge of oblivion, like boogieing backwards on an escalator to hell.
