Two ROBOTS celebrating a Techno ritual on Sunday 1st June from 4am until 7:30am. Robot Bennett and the Afrobot (a.k.a. Kai Eikermann) in the Hammahalle, Sisyphos, Berlin with a multitude of aficionados. The DJ Robot Bennett, also an Afrobot, played this music for the Kai Afrobot to express b-boying dance moves in the very early hours of the first day of June 2025.

The large crowd seemed to enjoy the robotics mightily and showed their appreciation stridently. This generated a feedback loop causing the elevation of the Robotics which in turn caused the spread of rapturous elation.

Because this effect showed no sign of abating, the esteemed club representative requested a spontaneous schedule change; a 30 minute extension of the ceremony – a fitting tribute to the sincerity of the ceremonial participants.

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.
