MEUTE​ ​is​ ​a​ ​Techno​ ​Marching​ ​Band​ ​–​ ​a​ ​dozen​ ​drummers​ ​and​ ​horn​ ​players​ ​from Hamburg/Germany​ ​who​ ​fulfil​ ​the​ ​job​ ​of​ ​a​ ​DJ​ ​with​ ​their​ ​acoustic​ ​instruments. The​ ​archaic​ ​combination​ ​of​ ​brass​ ​and​ ​drums​ ​forms​ ​the​ ​basis​ ​of​ ​a​ ​new​ ​genre​ ​that combines​ ​hypnotic,​ ​driving​ ​techno​ ​with​ ​expressive​ ​brass​ ​band​ ​music.​ ​MEUTE​ ​frees electronic​ ​music​ ​from​ ​the​ ​limitations​ ​of​ ​the​ ​DJ​ ​desk​ ​and​ ​intensifies​ ​the​ ​energy​ ​level​ ​–
on​ ​stage​ ​or​ ​directly​ ​in​ ​the​ ​crowd.​ ​Be​ ​it​ ​in​ ​the​ ​countryside​ ​or​ ​in​ ​the​ ​club,​ ​with​ ​or without​ ​electricity​ ​–​ ​MEUTE​ ​runs.
