Meute from Hamburg calls itself a “techno marching band”: It re-arranges electro tracks for a brass band. The result is sure to get you hopping, and has plenty of fans on Youtube

The rising popularity of brass bands in the past 10 or 15 years has been a phenomenon almost completely unchecked by the media and commercial music industry alike

In Germany and Europe, brass band Meute has been attracting a great deal of attention with its renditions of electro tracks by DJs and producers such as Dennis Ferrer, deadmau5, Trentemøller and Flume. Hailing from the northern German city of Hamburg, the 11-piece ensemble is now a favourite on the European summer festival circuit, and its videos, most of which are shot in public settings, are amassing millions of views for their dynamic complexity and unbridled energy.

This Sunday Meute will be performing at the Forbidden Fruits Festival in Dublin. Forbidden Fruit festival takes place in the grounds of the Irish Museum of Modern Art at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, June 1st-3rd. There are some tickets left, but some are very limited head over here to see what’s available. Concert-goers are advised buy tickets from accredited sources only.
