Insisting as a slow throb, guttural and demanding, ‘Vital Energy’ from RAAR’s founding duo Maelstrom and Louisahhh marks the pair’s return to solid club music with their ever-present punk ethos. 

This work is presented as a digital single on Feb 28, and as part of a 5 track EP to be released on vinyl in spring 2019 in collaboration with Diggers Factory.

Walter Gross - Rippers Only LP

Release date: May 9th 2019

Genre-defying, lawless, joyfully sounding something like gnashing teeth and hangnails, falling in a bright crack between some kind of ritual and a broken pickup, RAAR is delighted to present 'Rippers Only' from Maryland-based multi-media artist and musician Walter Gross.

Exactly 40 minutes of one-take wonders, this LP is not only a sonic feast but a demonstration of creative ethics, catharsis, self-expression and a deep longing to make something in direct retaliation to the mindless, consumer-driven ideologies of the modern music industry. Somehow, in that quest, the work produced manages to be at once ferocious, beautiful, banging and liberated.

We hope you love this special album as much as we do. -RAAR

Walter Gross - Soak It In [RAAR011]

Release date : Sept 6th 2019

A modern anthem, a call to action, a loving upsetter, 'Feral Rhythm' is a brave mantra for these trying times. The track consciously deepens the furrow of 'post-alternative industrial pop' that Louisahhh is digging, with diverse remixes from Manni Dee (warehouse rave roaring), Curses (new beat body musik) and RAAR co-founder Maelstrom (somewhere between Playgroup and Dopplereffekt).
Produced and mixed by Vice Cooler (of Peaches, Ladytron, XBXRX), 'Feral Rhythm' marks the first noise in a body of work from Louisahhh and Vice forthcoming over future months.
