Bauchklang are an Austrian a capella group, who made it their goal to get a capella and beat boxing from their equally restricting genres of more or less annoying pop music and hip hop. The result are well written and well performed songs from various genres, most notably reggae and drum and bass – all performed without any instruments but their voices. And it’s amazing. Sometimes you forget that they’re actually beat boxing and singing.

Bauchklang – Barking News

Barking News is one of their reggae numbers. It’s not their best song, imo, but the video is really nice (also the only official video I know of). The simpleness of it – all black and white, only silhouettes – just emphasises their performance. And with Bauchklang, performance is a big part of what makes them so good.

Here, have a hear what their “electronic” music sounds like:
