DAT Politics is a Lille, France-based laptop group that developed from the split of Tone Rec. Producing glitch-inflected IDM that's occasionally melodic and often aggressively noisy, a range that's often kept in check by a sinister sense of humor, the group's releases have come out on a number of labels, including <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Mille+Plateaux%22">Mille Plateaux</a>, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Tigerbeat6%22">Tigerbeat6</a>, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22A-Musik%22">A-Musik</a>, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22FatCat%22">FatCat</a>, and their own <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Skipp%22">Skipp</a> imprint. As far as significant full-length releases are considered, Plugs Plus was released on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Chicks+on+Speed%22">Chicks on Speed</a> in 2002, while Tracto Flirt -- their 1999 debut -- was reissued the following year on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Tigerbeat6%22">Tigerbeat6</a>. The mellower Go Pets Go was released in 2004. Two years later, DAT Politics returned with Wow Twist, some of their most accessible work yet. The more dance-oriented Mad Kit arrived in 2008. For 2012's Blitz Gazer, the group -- which was now the core duo of Claude Pailliot and Gaëtan Collet -- drew from shoegaze and other more atmospheric styles to create a sophisticated set of songs. The following year, Collet and Pailliot returned to <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Tigerbeat6%22">Tigerbeat6</a> for the Powermoon EP, which nodded to their playful electro-pop and also included a remix by <a href="spotify:artist:1TzvxOvPV19Pr7UiCne5Ei">Soft Pink Truth</a>. The duo recorded 2015's No Void in a cabin in northern France, incorporating toy instruments along with synthesizers and drum machines for a dark but whimsical feel. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
