Robot Bennett – “Book me before I die”

How many people do you know who take up DJing in their late 60s?  And how many are actually really good? The answer is one – Robot Bennett.

The Robot is a wonderful, incredible anomaly. His love of electronic music stretches back to the early 90’s, when he tasted first hand the fabled golden era of techno clubs in Berlin where he has lived since 1982. He was at the Loveparade. He danced in the warehouses and basements, revelled at the festivals, and absorbed all of this influence from one side of the equation.

A lifelong musician, he balanced his passion alongside a career as a body therapist and yoga teacher. During a group breath work session he was playing one of his own techno mixes and a club booker just happened to be part of the group. The booker was so impressed by Robot's mix that he suggested he try his hand at DJ'ing. It was the spark that lit the bonfire.

Robot Bennett uses Ableton Live with an APC 40 Mk II controller for DJ'ing.

He plays hard techno – a dark and sometimes ominous sound interspersed with some lighter tunes and the occasional vintage track.

Robot Bennett also plays 60’s and early 70’s classic psychedelic rock. He has enjoyed playing the music of his youth at Nation of Gondwana, Hans & Gloria, Mensch Meier, Rummelsbucht, Bucht der Träumer and at New Years parties in Sisyphos.

Nachtschatten Podcast Folge 9: Tanz und Rausch körpereigene Drogen
https://safer-nightlife.berlin/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Nachtschatten_Tanz_und_Rausch_mixdown.mp3

Mexican DJ & Producer based in Berlin, with over 15 years of mixing experience. Also an anthropologist and ethnomusicologist, devoted to exploring the rich diversity of sound. My sets weave together Downtempo, Ethnic, Afro, Indie, House, Techno, and Psychedelic elements, curating the most refined expressions of these genres.

I see a party as a ceremonial space—the dancefloor as an altar, music as the sacrament, and our dance as the offering. A journey into mystery and ecstasy, where sound transcends and elevates.

Berlin based DJ, Producer, Music Lover, Record Collector, Label Owner and Record Store Owner.


Berlin's Cinthie has grown to become one of the most revered and respected figures in contemporary electronic music in recent years both in her hometown and across the globe. Her touring schedule regularly sees her playing her inimitable DJ style in hotspot cities like Paris, London, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Stockholm, Seoul, Osaka, and of course her beloved hometown Berlin .

Djing in said city since the early nineties as a teenager Cinthie's depth of knowledge radiantly shines through in her sets and her productions, which traverse through a broad range of classic and contemporary House and Techno sounds. Recent times have seen Cinthie look inwards towards her aspirations for the future, and as a result, dedicated a huge portion of her time to building her own studio, featuring a wide spectrum of some of the most noteworthy vintage drum machines and synthesizers in existence.

Initially Cinthie made her mark with Diego Krause, Ed Herbst and stevn.aint.leavn as the Beste Modus / Beste Freunde collective, amongst running Unison Wax and We_R House on top of the main labels. Most recently she launched her 803 Crystalgrooves imprint to critical acclaim, a platform which has become a huge focus for her own productions for the foreseeable future as well as the imprint's sub-label Collective Cuts, which as the name suggests, welcomes music from affiliates and friends of the artist. On top of this there’s a burgeoning relationship with Will Saul's Aus imprint where her debut album comes in 2020. Cinthie’s unfaltering drive and dedication to all things House continues into another decade...

Warehouse, the beginning/Warehouse Club Wilhelm-Mauser Str. Cologne

From 1990- 1994

Everything began in Cologne, Wilhelm- Mauserstr in 1990. At that time a few guys popularized a style of music called ACID in Cologne and its environment. Nobody ever thought that this style of music (better known as Techno, House, Electro, Progressive, Schranz, Trance etc.) would develop that extremely and would be based that much in the German club scene today. There are names like Nature One, Timewarp, Mayday, Sonne Mond und Sterne and uncountable clubs which occurred out of this scene. The biggest boom was in the nineties, but still today the scene develops more and more. Furthermore, new styles occurred like Schranz, Electro, Minimal. Nevertheless the House music is the one which fanned out most and could assure commercially its place in the German scene.

Warehouse was the only club which underwent, advanced and developed all these generations. Warehouse is a root of this music scene. There would not be such a big club scene without Warehouse; there would be no big events without warehouse.

It is also important to talk about the close contact with guests here, because the Warehouse crew was not only limited to organisation and management, but also to celebration with the guests during an event.  Music just connects and the crew is as committed to the music as the faithful clubber.  The closer the contact with the people, the better you know what guests expect of their club. Thus it is possible to plan special events or imagine unusual party ideas which motivate people to celebrate cheerfully and to forget everyday life for a moment.

Furthermore the Warehouse crew was engaged in projects which transcend the limits of the club. It also included events in different locations, participations in a fair in the area of music (Popkomm), DJ Booking Agency, bus rides to different raves, concerts, clubwear, an own redord label, the yearly leader in the field “House Connection” (copies: 30.000), and a little free space for spontaneous actions.
The main thought behind these actions is the universal complexity and consolidation of the Techno/House scene. Nobody appreciates if somebody juggles the DJs and acts, copies the party concepts or hypes miscellaneous cities. We should rather pull ourselves together and show the initiative. In this way, Warehouse orientates itself forwards and not backwards.
In the past the club facilitated us and the guests this free space and that is why, the club stands to the fore.
Finally, it is important to mention the personal in the club. We often went to the cinema or went out for dinner. Generally we cared a good interpersonal behaviour.

The main aim, which Warehouse had, was not to be the best, but to be one of the best clubs.

Now after 19 years review, we, Warehouse, are proud that we advanced this scene and music. It freshened and underwent the whole scene.
