Pele's famous quote regarding football states, "Football is a sport played by 22 footballers, and in the end, the Germans always win". Similarly, jazz is a genre of music that, when played by 11 German musicians, can result in unexpected and exciting performances. Meute, the band from Hamburg, plays jazz-techno music that resembles that of a philharmonic orchestra, yet they maintain their unique and provocative approach. Their 2018 street concert in Berlin, where they covered Flume's electronic track "You & Me" in their own analogue way, went viral on YouTube with almost 66 million views. Their 2021 album, EMPOR, remains faithful to their successful recipe, remixing techno tracks and incorporating dance electronics in a natural analogue way. Their concerts are a rare experience, synchronizing both mind and body at the same frequency.
