Mouse On Mars

The madly creative minds of German electronic duo Mouse on Mars have come up with a suitably madly creative mix for this week’s Clash DJ mix.

The duo have been experimenting and crafting brilliantly skewed leftfield electronica for almost two decades now, ranging from glitch-hop to a live soundtracking of Werner Herzog’s trip-fest ‘Fata Morgana’, all of it wildly inventive.

Thus, expect the esoteric in Mouse on Mars’ Clash mix, and wrap your head around chopped up passages of tracks, snatches of melody, and thoroughly mangled funk, hip hop and juke. It’s out there, but it works beautifully as a whole.

Keeping it abstract, the duo’s tracklist for their mix is something of a puzzle itself, containing a list of the selected artists in no particular order and no track names. Although we’re fairly sure there’s at least one song title in there, and one or two artist names which didn’t make it in – Delia Derbyshire’s 1969 prophetic treasure ‘Love Without Sound’ definitely makes an appearance.
