Crossing techno beats, synthesizers, drum-machine patterns, sound chips and a hacked Nintendo game system, Eats Tapes describes their unconventional house music as pounding, silly, deranged and partly destroyed.

“It’s not a goal of ours to sound like a video game, but it’s just part of our vocabulary," said band member Marijke Jorritsma, 28.

The unconventional electronic band will be bringing tracks from their sixth album, "Dos Mutantes," to SF State's The Depot on September 27, featuring various synthesizers, electronic sound effects, and what they call "a mutated combo of club music and ecstatic pop music."

Hailing from San Francisco, Marijke and Greg Zifcak, 29, formed Eats Tapes in 2004 after Marijke witnessed Greg's talent in doing other various solo projects. Soon after, the pair started jamming together and became a couple.

"I was his number one fan and wanted to make music [with him],” said Marijke, who met Greg at a pizza restaurant in Portland, Oregon.

Through the combination of their equipment and inspiration from classic house, techno music and even rap groups such as the Wu-Tang Clan, the pair began working through collaborative jam sessions, playing with drum patterns, and feeding off of each others' experimental ideas to create something they call "a combination of oddities and off-the-wall elements".

“We always talked about how we wanted our music to be different, and I think we both value just having a sort of definition of our own project," Greg said. “It’s a pretty stilted process."

After nearly three years of collaborating, The band has generated a growing fan base, including some who have crafted Eats Tapes t-shirts and bracelets, and others, who have been with them since the start of their band.

Nathan Burazer of Tussel, a SF house/funk indie band, remembers when they were known by a different name.

"I saw them play at Li Po Lounge in Chinatown four years ago when they were still calling themselves 'Boom de la Boom' or whatever," said Burazer. "I totally wanted to join their band."

But it's not the fan base or the popularity that keeps the pair motivated; it's seeing people dance to their material.

“I think the best part of performing is just connecting [with the audience],” Marijke said. “I mean, anywhere you go, you might not have a conversation, like in a different country, but you can play music and all of a sudden have a connection, and I think by far, that’s the most amazing thing.”
