Riffing over a beat by Ricardo Villalobos (who, for the uninitiated, is to the minimal scene what Tom Cruise is to the scientology scene), Spanish oddballs Los Updates offer what I assume to be the first and only techno song to address the current financial crisis, namely the consolidation of influence by investment banks and stock traders.

The economic thesis itself is little more than a pedestrian collage of the garden variety conspiracy theories widely held by YouTube journalists, yoga instructors, and people who live in New Hampshire, but one has to forgive that of a dance track, particularly when the diatribe is delivered with a cool drawl and broken English.
