2010 is the year of revivals, I tell you. The angriest of the digital hardcore prophets, Atari Teenage Riot is back for a kick in the face – there’s a one-off show going down on the 12th of May in Electric Ballroom – and this time they have a fourth member. New Yorker MC CX Kidtronik (having previously worked with Nine Inch Nails and Saul Williams) is on stage with the raw energy chaos was made out of and they’ve already recorded a new single called Activate. (Electronicbeats reports there’s a free remix of Digital Hardcore by dubstephead The Builder.) Below is the Soundcloud embed for Activate. (And, umh, we’ve found something called the 21 sauces of inspiration for Alec Empire?)
According to Alec Empire’s website, Atari Teenage Riot have several tour dates lined up for Europe this summer. NME reports that on May 17, they’ll release the new single “Reactivate” on their own Digital Hardcore label. It may very well have some screaming on it. (via pitchfork)
