Klaus Blatter releases acid techno Christmas single
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 6 December 2019
Cult electronic music legend Klaus Blatter – who may or may not be Irvine Welsh with a dodgy moustache – has released festive acid techno track ‘Christmas Techno Dance’.
The video for the track features an array of guests who put on a short nativity play. This includes Bez and Rowetta from the Happy Mondays and producer Steve Mac as the Three Wise People, house producer Marshall Jefferson as God, Lisa Moorish as Mary, Moorish’s son Astil Doherty as Jesus, and DJ Chad Jackson as Joseph.
“The ‘Christmas Techno Dance’ video is basically a summarised updating of the Bible with all the boring elements of the story removed”, says Blatter. “It is for containing everything people need to know about the Christian faith”.
“You do not need so called ‘experts’ like paedophile priests and closet-case theologians and grifter evangelists who only want you to give them your money and to interfere with your body” he goes on. “If you wish to enter the kingdom of God all you are for needing is this video and single of Klaus Blatter. The story is told!”
Purporting to be a long-lost techno pioneer who unfortunately lost all his work in a pre-internet fire, Blatter made his ‘comeback’ appearance at Glastonbury this year. UK tour dates are apparently upcoming in 2020, but this month you can catch him at Bergain in Berlin tonight and Corsica Studios in London on 19 Dec.
