Anthony Rother is described as an influential visionary, an electro pioneer and one of electronic music’s most prolific producers. For more than two decades Rother aggregated a vast musical canon that reflects his unique career as a sound researcher exploring the aesthetics far beyond the boundaries of electro, techno and pop music.

Starting his recording career in the late ‘80s, the Offenbach-based producer established himself in Germany’s electronic music scene with his first two releases, "Sex With The Machines" (1997) and "Simulationszeitalter" (2000). In 1998, he founded his label Psi49Net, allowing him to keep his artistic independence and showcase his vision of electro music that cultivated a unique storytelling approach, guided by dystopian future visions on societal changes due to technological progress. The vocoder-driven vocals and the dark dystopian synth sound with machine-like beats have become Rother’s trademarks, even before he found international recognition as a science-fiction avant-gardist with the virtual electro-pop project "Little Computer People" (2001) and his 3rd solo LP "Hacker" (2002).

In 2004, Rother created the Datapunk imprint to evolve an immediate, more song-orientated language that used simple melodies and even autobiographic anecdotes collected on "Popkiller." Perceived as one of his most venturous endeavors, yet his sonic shift had a decisive effect on many artists' careers: The Hacker, Boys Noise and Terence Fixmer published on Datapunk in its early days. While some of the experimental ambient recordings for Pete Namlook’s infamous label Fax +49-69/450464 reflects Rother’s prolific output, he also worked and co-produced with several prominent artists such as from former Kraftwerk member Karl Bartos, Sven Väth and DJ Hell.

After its success, Datapunk turned into an enlarging business which devoured both time and creativity to make music. In 2013, Rother decided to let the project rest and took a break that he used to move his studio while only producing music for his HYBRID sets. Through his self- contemplative retreat, he eventually rediscovered the artistic instincts that brought him back to his roots; both in terms of his renewed independence as well as how he channels creativity as a producer. In late 2017, Rother resurfaced with an EP on Danny Daze’s Omnidisc and contributed the track "Technic Electric" to Fabric 96 mix by DVS1. Last year, Rother returned to his Psi49Net label with a new album "3L3C7RO COMMANDO" that transports a clear message: Anthony Rother not only lives in and through his pure electro music, he still has something to say – here and now. The past represents the future!

In April 2019, Rother will release two 12’’ on DVS1’s Mistress Recordings followed by another EP as well as a conceptual LP for Psi49Net in fall. Moreover, Rother will drop a 12-inch on Radio Slave’s Rekids offshoot Stranger In The Night.

Flemming Dalum, also know as King of the cut, discovered his musical journey at an early age. An interest based out of curiosity for electronic synthesizer legends emerging while he grew up. With his first synth, the Korg Polysix, a lifelong passion was born. He started playing in bands in 1982, experimenting with electronics and the new world of sounds and possibilities. At the same time he started experimenting with records and discovered a natural talent for mixing and blending synths with records, creating his own unique world of sound. In mind that the CD wasn't invented, neither was the HD recorder, the heart in Flemmings set-up was a simple cassette recorder. An invention that should soon add yet another angle to his musical universe. With snappy skills and imagination, the cassette soon became his most important instrument taking him to the next level. The world of mixing. With sampler, echomachine, decks, synths and a beloved cassette recorder, the first true mixes came out of his studio already in 1983. Mixes with so much detail, soon giving him the legendary name "King of the cut". In the same year, 1983, Flemming stumbled across Koto "Chinese Revenge", a discovery that should soon lead Flemming into a brave new world matching his own, with synths and electronics being the heart of the music. The passion became strong and shortly after the Koto discovery, brought him to his first trip to Milan, Il Discotto, Discomagic, Non-Stop, Merak etc. to investigate the Italo phenomenon in detail. The following years Flemming visited the Italian distributors 11 times which later proves to be one of the major reasons to the fact that he has one of the worlds most complete collections of Italo and Disco. Through the years, the synths has been replaced with computers and equipment matching the urge for mixing. Something that has kept the true Italo spirit alive and made Flemming Dalum a legend in mixing today.

BIOG:

Kid Machine is a producer and performer based in Manchester, UK. The project was born in 2007, with experiments in electro, disco, and space influenced music. In 2009 his debut EP Velours 77 (digital and limited CD) was released by Manchester label Sounds of the Suburbs Records.

In recent years there have been releases with the likes of the mighty Viewlexx of Holland, and England’s Flight Recorder and Red Laser Records. He’s also released tracks as part of compilations with 030303 Records and Fundamental Records.

This exposure to his music has enabled him take his live sets across Europe in the past few years where he’s rocked his ‘classics’ and tested out his ever-growing unreleased works.
In the studio and on stage it’s a blend of software and hardware, the old and the new. The music takes heavy inspiration from underground synth music such as italo disco, house, electro, new beat and wave. Kid Machine’s focus is firmly on the future, and moving things forward, using that inspiration in interesting new ways.

His full debut album was released by Cyber Dance in 2014. From his Live Set, you can expect: Epic, space, darkness, emotion, slow-motion, heavy, chugging, military.

Flemming Dalum:
"During my lifelong search for italo and other electronic music from the 80ies - I stumbled over Kid Machine.
His unique sound and style immediately blew me a way - and I had to present his fantastic tracks in one of my mixes.
Dragon and Replicants kick started Kid Machine career – watch out for more !"

James Penrose:
Kid Machine is undoubtedly one of the greatest Italo-Electro producers to emerge this year and is in fact so good that he gives even the original classics a run for their money!!"

(James Penrose - Magic Waves Radio / Cyber Dance Records / Casionova)

Markus Schneider:
"I really love Kid Machine's dark Italo-electro-disco-influenced synth sounds. They always remind me of John Carpenter soundtracks. His productions are essential, don't miss them!
He transforms my favorite vibes from old underground Italo Disco tracks into dark, contemporary electro-disco grooves."

(Markus Schneider - The Robot Scientists / Emerald & Doreen Recordings)

Gert Nygaard:
"Having had Kid Machine's musical ventures on the radar for a while, I've enjoyed the continued refinement of his unique sound. The passion for Italo flavors and talent has made Kid Machine a strong brand to watch out for."
