Like many artists on Inner Demons, I had not heard of Ibiza Shock Troops, but they are the work of Carl Kruger on beats and Chefkirk on noise. They describe themselves as “Doomed to dance since 2007.” I had not heard of Carl Kruger before, but I enjoyed Chefkirk's last outing on Inner Demons, so let's dive in and see what we have here.

This disc consists of 6 tracks of around 3 minutes each. There are no titles to give us a sense of what we are in for. As for what we are in for, all I have to say is “Holy analog filter and feedback, Batman! What the hell is this?” We kick it off with serious analog noodling, like playing with a stylophone through a distortion pedal with a basic beat riding through it. I suppose one could dance to it, but this is techno on acid. As we move through, the “oonce oonce oonce” beat keeps relentlessly marching on, seemingly oblivious to the cacophony going over it. Lots of noise and a synth line joins in the fun as they keep adding more and more high pitched analog squalls and whatever they have on hand. I was listening to this and found myself moving to the beat before I even realized it. I guess the Dead Milkmen were right, and we'll dance to anything.

I have to admit that this was a lot of fun. The beats play the straight man to the noise's comedian and this makes for a weird juxtaposition. Give this to your favorite techno fan and see what they think. This album weighs in at around 18 minutes and is limited to 42 copies.
