dance music as inherently anti-fascist
other examples?
postscript 8/19
CJ suggests this
and in the comments Eli B argued for this one
i must say that i always thought that was Gabi + Gorl doing that "playing with dodgy imagery to rile up the squares" move .
There were many explicit anti fascists on the german speedcore/noisecore/breakcore scene, but since the music was mostly instrumental, it was only made explicit by titles or cover/label-artwork. Some examples on the top of my head:

There's a brilliant use of talksamples about surveillance and suppression in nazi germany in the track "Heimatfront" on this: https://www.discogs.com/Inushini-Untitled/release/691814
Also a honorary mention of Mokum and their "United Gabbers against Racism and Fascism" logo.
Pretty sure this is *implicitly* anti-fascist though I guess some folks did miss the irony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYcUGO-ISXQ
ReplyDeletegood one - although i suspect Gabi and Robert were going for "cloudy, troubling ambiguity" - or maybe "taboo-tweaking provocation"
