EMPOR, the fourth studio album by the Hamburg Techno Marching Band MEUTE, is released via their in-house label Tumult. EMPOR showcases the evolution of the band’s musical identity through the elaboration of techno-inspired original compositions and reinterpretations of well-known techno tracks.
The album title not only symbolizes the feeling of boundlessness after the pandemic, but also the extraordinary journey of the live techno phenomenon that once started on the streets of St. Pauli, in Hamburg, Germany, and is now celebrated worldwide.
“EMPOR is the collective ascent, the revival of possibilities, and an embrace of the boundless potential that awaits us,” says band leader Thomas Burhorn regarding the choice of the album’s name.
The album consists of ten tracks, featuring four MEUTE originals: “Vermis,” “Aurora,” “LoCKeDoWN2,” and “Hypnose.” Additionally, reinterpretations like “Loss of Hope” by Innellea and “Come Together” by Henrik Schwarz add layers of complexity to the record. The latter became even more organic through collaboration with the children and German youth choir The Young ClassX.
MEUTE will set out on a North America limited tour run this Spring alongside electronic music legend deadmau5 at the Hollywood Bowl and Brooklyn Mirage, as well as two headline shows in San Francisco and Toronto.
