A psychedelic rock mix from the late 60s when popular music was great art. Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Love, The Kinks, The Who and many others.
There was a technical problem with the turntable they gave me which I tried to balance out in the mix. It finally packed up when I played The Moody Blues 'Dear Diary' so I had to cut that short. Stuck to digital after that.
Recorded at Neustockland floor on Saturday 17th August at the Bay of Dreamers 2024.
What has that photo above to do with this kind of music? You may well ask. It is an old photo of a beach in India where I spent a lot of time when I was young and listening to these tracks. So for me it is very connected and moves me deeply. Where is it? Here's a hint - right by Joe Banana.

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.
