FreaKBeatS EDM podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Remember when we first told you about noticewave on episode 250. Well, noticewave blew up in 2024 with one song in particular being the most remixed and played underground song throughout Europe and the US. The "L'Amour Toujours" German Far-Right Controversy, also known as Ausländer Raus, refers to the ongoing use of the Italian dance song "L'Amour Toujours" by Gigi D'Agostino by Germans on the political right who replaced the song's lyrics with "Ausländer raus," meaning "Foreigners out." The song's usage by right-wing groups in Germany started in late 2023 when a video surfaced of men singing "Ausländer raus" in a discotek in Dortmund. In May 2024, a viral video of men and women singing "Ausländer raus" at an outdoor bar in Sylt sparked discourse and backlash. The video included people seemingly emulating Adolf Hitler by putting two fingers on their upper lip (to resemble Hitler's mustache) and Nazi saluting with their right hands.

Background

On November 5th, 2023, Twitter / X[1] user @ZeronnyLS posted a video, allegedly taken at a discotek in Dortmund, showing club-goers singing, "Ausländer raus," over "L'Amour Toujours" by Gigi D'Agostino. The video received roughly 1.8 million views and 3,500 likes in seven months (shown below).

On April 28th, 2024, X[2] user @malegruen posted a new video of Germans chanting "Ausländer raus" to the song "L'Amour Toujours" by Gigi D'Agostino, receiving over 148,000 views and 250 likes in two months (shown below).

Sylt Viral Video

On May 23rd, 2024, X[3] user @Markus_17x tweeted a video that was originally posted by X[4] user @OskarBreitfeld who deleted his post. The video showed patrons at a bar in Sylt singing "Ausländer raus" along with "L'Amour Toujours," receiving over 119,500 views and 910 likes in 11 days (shown below).

The video gained viral reposts and quotes, like one shared by X[5] user @norazabel on May 23rd, receiving over 1.6 million views and 1,200 likes in 11 days.

Online Reactions

German news outlets started to report on the phenomenon in late May 2024, like Spiegel,[6][7] which even reached out to Italian DJ Gigi D'Agostino for comment who said, "My song is about a wonderful feeling that connects people," to counter its memetic usage.

In late May 2024, some internet users praised the "Ausländer raus" meme and spread iterations of the song, such as X[8] user @Black_Pilled who shared a hardstyle remix of the song on May 30th, receiving over 9,800 likes in four days (shown below).

"L'Amour Toujours" Banned From 2024 Oktoberfest

On May 27th, 2024, a report went viral on X[9] that "L'Amour Toujours" was banned for the 2024 Oktoberfest, receiving over 1 million views and 11,000 likes in a week (shown below).

This is the first segment of our review of Tomorrowland's Around The World 2020 online festival discussing (01:25) the reason behind the festival and (05:51) how Tomorrowland failed its fans and ruined the entire experience. Making a festival happen is not easy. Apologising for the distress and disappointment the fans experience and putting things right should be standard practice though, and there can be no excuse not to be doing so.  #tomorrowland #tomorrowland2020 #ATW #aroundtheworld

#tomorrowland2020  This podcast makes more sense if you watched the respective videos on our YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDDnkss12e4FI2ausr1kXGg 

*IMPORTANT UPDATE* The videos are not available any more. Unfortunately, as you can see in the cover art we received a copyright strike from Tomorrowland for showing people around the Papilionem island. No music was streamed or heard during the videos . It looks like Tomorrowland only cares about those green $$$ People of Tomorrow take notice. This is their future business model. Forget free stuff on #YouTube from #Tomorrowland.

On the 29th of June 2020 an account on #Instagram started posting "evidence" alleging to Bassnectar's past sexual misconduct. Five days later #Bassnectar steps back from his musical career. Is this a rerun of the Datsik drama? Is this the effect of #CancelCulture. You decide.

Larry Sherman (RIP) finally gets busted. On Tuesday June 23, 2020, attorneys Robert S. Meloni and Christopher M. Heintskill filed suit in Federal Court in the Northern District of Illinois alleging Trax Records has committed copyright infringement for tracks including “Can You Feel It,” “Washing Machine,” “Beyond The Clouds,” “Bring Down The Walls,” “Donnie,” “Distant Planet” and “Never No More Lonely.” 

“This case involves an all-too familiar story of the early days of the music industry,” the complaint reads. “Talented, but unrepresented, musicians hungry for their first break were lulled into a business relationship with an unscrupulous record company that made promises it never intended to keep and masqueraded as paternalistic benefactors for those artists – like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

This is the 151st episode and today I am here to explain why politics and dance music should not and cannot mix.
If you started listening expecting another EDM mix podcast, a mindless EDM news reader, or some pink cotton feel good social feed  then best to go now and not waste your time. If you are easily offended or prefer living in your echo chamber now is the time to go and not waste any more of your precious time. But if you are interested in a discourse and debate on why it is inappropriate to mix dance music with politics then stay on and listen to what we have to say.
With the recent social unsettling in the US at the end of May the ugly head of politics reared its head again, and this time it decided to do so in the dance music community.
Or better to say it was the dance music community (or best to say the vast majority of) who decided to mix dance music with politics. And my question is why?
Who is this good for? Who is this benefitting? And is this actually necessary?
