Mix of the Week #422: The Robot Scientists

New mix aired a couple of weeks ago on @mutantradio, recorded for my friends at @playgroundrecords , who are celebrating their 9 year anniversary.

Mutant Radio Mix (Playground Records Showcase)

I've included in DWTD 3 some iconic names from Rock history along with some of my favorite artists today (I said some, not all). These sacred monsters of Rock, New Wave, Goth music that changed my life when I was a teenager, that I still listen to today. And, since I'm only a dj and not a producer, I did the job as I learned, as I was taught in the 80's and 90's when I started mixing. Create a third track, something special w/ 2 records spinning at the same time, do a remix while mixing. It was a challenge we enjoyed a lot at that time. All that to say that dj'ing is not just chaining tracks, records, new releases one after the other, it's revealing yourself, giving a glimpse of who you are and where RU from by including and mixing pieces of your background w/ the music of today and to make something interesting to listen to... Try to give the best of oneself to highlight the work of the one who made the sound, and who also gave his best too, w/ short or long transi, cuts, remixes, harmonic mixes... 
I think the tracklist speaks for itself so If U love the guitars, the snare drums that slam, the songs where it sings and if UR curious press play. 🖤‍🎸🤙🏿

Blank Wave Guest Mix 061: The Robot Scientists

„You are listening to the first hour of my set from Puch Festival in Munich where I had been invited to play a while ago. It’s a beautiful small festival that’s been around forever. I had been playing there with the bands I (used to) play in and therefore there’s also some music from this period. Enough words, enjoy“

The wind forgets which way to blow.

Somewhere, footsteps move in circles.

Somewhere, the telephone rings.

No one answers.

The record skips.

The clock is frozen at 2:37.

It’s always 2:37.

FLIPSILV3R - SHE'S WAITING IN YOUR SPIRIT

@therobotscientists are Markus Schneider and Stefan Maurer, also curators of @somethingspaecial and two of three @emerald-and-doreen-rec.

The nerdy German DJ duo loves telling highly beautiful, melancholic, energetic stories of the future with their exceptionally quality-oriented, uplifting and fun sets and podcasts.

Rooted deep in robotic-romantic 80s italo and electronic new wave dance, their melodic selections meander between soulful, funky cosmic-balearic disco, new wave-inspired dark disco, spaced-out electro-disco, driving psychedelic house and minimal wave, along with carefully chosen references to 1970s, 1990s and 2000s electronic music.

Classe oblige: being the proud owners of 5000 (great!;) vinyl records, the gem diggers, electro-disco historians and dancefloor magicians hope you enjoy listening to their treasures as much as they enjoyed making them.

MOTHBALL FM with FRINDA DI LANCO (November 2020)

We were so happy to be able to contribute to the great The Flow Sessions series! As DJs, record collectors and label owners, our history as manic music lovers dates back to the mid 1980s when extended New Wave dance versions conquered the clubs - and our hearts. Thus, „The Flow“ we express with our mix is our own journey through time, through five decades, and the music we love. As Kraftwerk and Italo Disco are huge influences for us, you will notice references to them more than once. It is also a fact that in the late 80s and 90s, we never were real Techno or Vocal House boys - somehow we were more into New Beat, Electro, Punk, Psychedelic Rock and Indie Dance in all those years before the „Space“ Disco revival started in 2005 roughly - which is 100% our cup of tea as you will hear as well. We were always fascinated with the ideas around how we all are robots to some extent, how cool space flight is and what probably exists beyond our current states of consciousness. As we have grown up in a highly industrialised coal mining and steelworks area, dark dystopian landscapes moulded our personalities just as the first euphoric dance club visits in the 80s. We founded The Robot Scientists in 2007 and have since played in many places like Berlin, Beirut or Barcelona. we released more than 400 artists on Emerald & Doreen and made more than 70 mixtapes – but this is our most personal, most complete and most cosmic one-- an outline of the music that has ever been most important to us and which we love to play if we have at least 3, (or better 5 or 6) hours time. It features some of our all-time favorites and many new tracks too which have just been released. On our 55-track cosmic journey, we travel from spaced-out 90s Downbeat, some of Andrew Weatherall‘s Leftfield favorites, psychedelic Indie dance, etheric Synthpop, Electro-Disco- and Italo-infused trancy House, lo-fi Afro-Disco, Post-Punk-inspired Dark Disco, trippy Space Disco, smash-hitty Disco House, Cosmic-Balearic Disco to classic House anthems, listen to the astronauts landing on the moon, military whistleblowers talking about how many alien species they have catalogued in the 1960s already, but more than anything it is a journey into love and unknown worlds for you to enjoy.

Thanks for having us again,
