They're Not In A Coma


Coma are Marius Bubat and Georg Conrad, both in their mid twenties. They are a breath of fresh air in the streets of Cologne because as two producers who are open minded, they have no problems combining pop, rave, techno and rock in to a very unique, subtle and elegant blend of electronic music. Coma describe themselves as nu-rave and old-school techno, 80's pop and 2k-modernity in a deep hug. While that sounds a bit pervy it pretty much sums up their sound and their influences to a tee. Coma goes against the grain by forgetting the hype and what's trendy and making music that while aimed at the world has a big German stamp on it.

Having released record on Firm via Kompakt, the duo have clearly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. These guys have no problem in taking legendary German minimalism and tossing it around a bit to come up with something that's as sensual as any house track you can think of or as fucked up as anything Primal Scream (or Beck) could imbibe. They're clever cheeky dudes who know how to manipulate their influences into gold. Despite their name, Coma are far from being catatonic and after listening to the tracks below I think you'll agree.
