ATARI TEENAGE RIOT – Hunt Down and Kill All The Nazis

Atari Teenage Riot (ATR) is a German punk rock band formed in Berlin in 1992. Highly political, they fuse left-wing, anarchist and anti-fascist views with punk vocals and a techno sound called digital hardcore, which is a term band member Alec Empire used as the name of his record label Digital Hardcore Recordings.[2]

Although not an official Atari Teenage Riot track Alec Empire released this in 1992 as part of the Suecide EP sessions, as a scathing attack on the German neo-Nazi movement which had invaded the dance music and rave scene, declaring trance techno “true German music”.

It is presented here in a live version, recorded in 1994 in Berlin, Germany. The opening intro, added to this performance is a spoken word intro by Alec Empire and Hanin is transcribed as follows:

Alec: “Ihr habt alle auf diesen Track gewartet Hanin:(hetzjagd auf nazis is our next track!) Alec:Wir haben sicherlich bei jedem Gig gespielt und (and now) wir werden ihn weiter spielen Bis kein einziger Nazi unter uns ist! Ok.. can you turn it up? Hanin: (everyone turn it up.)”

Translation: Alec:“You have all been waiting for this track Hanin: (chasing nazis is our next track!) Alec : We certainly played at every gig and (and now) we will continue to play it Until not a single Nazi is among us! Ok.. can you turn it up? Hanin: (everyone turn it up.)”
