Magic Men - Popcorn (The Robot Scientists No More Popcorn Edit) - Remaster - Free DL

Jean-Jacques Perrey from Paris was one of the first Moog musicians, creating "far out electronic entertainment" already in the 1960s. He released albums with names we love like "Musique Electronique Du Cosmos (Electronic Music From Outer Space)" (1962) or "Cadmus Le Robot De L'Espace" even from 1959. We ran into "Cosmic Bird", this fantastic tune he recorded with Air in 2000 roughly, recently on an old CD, burnt from Audiogalaxy and Soulseek shares in the early 2000s which we didn't listen to for decades. It reminded us somehow of our first edit of "Popcorn" by Magic Men (and the original of course, the first synth chart hit by Hot Butter from 1972). It not only has a futuristic, but also a fun side to it and a psychedelic one too, like our favorite Italo tracks, so we decided to edit it to take the wonderful hypnotic madness of the original to the extreme. :) Enjoy! And listen to the original whereever you can find it.

When you see me walking by
When you see me walking by
Do you remember me?

And when you look me in the eye
Yeah when you look me in the eye
You will remember me
You will remember me
Cause you cannot erase this memory 
of you and me

The Cure - At Night (TRS EDIT)

This is what my first band, Techniques Berlin sounded like, when Dave and I were in Grade 12...26 years ago.....

Techniques Berlin - Dancing to the Fall of the Berlin Wall (1985)

The mix & premiere series that feels like Andrew Weatherall, DJ Harvey, Giorgio Moroder & The Hacker spinning all night together.

600+ of the best Indie Dance, Cosmic-Balearic Disco, Italo Trance, New Wave Dance, Deep Acid House & Playa Tech mixes & premieres you can find out there with 👨‍🚀heavy Italo basslines, futuristic vibes, deep melodies, spaced-out disco fun & psychedelic oversoul grooves.

"Equal parts gothic, cosmic, spectral, dark and thrilling, this is the sound of Andrew Weatherall et al at its most widescreen and space faring" fits well if you add stylish Beach sunset, driving HiNRG and emotional Italo Disco vibes to the mix.

"Ahead of The Wave" since 2013, curated by Markus Schneider of www.soundcloud.com/therobotscientists. 

You are listening to atmospheric mixes and new tracks of some of the most talented DJs and producers and the finest music connoisseurs and record diggers out there. 
Some are rising stars, some are old legends, others are complete newcomers or even shy and deep bedroom DJs. No matter how well known they already are, they all deliver exceptional tracks and sets for you that feature the best these underground and hard to pin down genres have to offer: what you get is a mind-expanding fusion of Italo-, Space-, Magico- & Dark Disco, Indie Dance, Italo Body Music / Italo Trance, Dirty Bouncy Midtempo, Cold Wave, EBM, Psychedelic- & Chugging Acid-House. 

The series is featuring mixes by artists like Curses, Shubostar, Cabaret Nocturne, Local Suicide, Hardway Bros and +400 more. 

It is about a hypnotic journey through space, dimensions and time, a uplifting voyage through astral, etheric and magical frequencies - and above all: it is a wild, colorful, energetic, futuristic, artistic ride into human emotions, ranging from fear, sadness & rage to enthusiasm, joy & euphoria. It's all in there, so mix vibes and speeds will vary.

The series is inspired by Daniele Baldelli's Cosmic mixes, 1970s Psychedelic-, Prog- & Kraut-Rock, New Wave & Space Disco, 1980s Italo Disco, Synth-Pop, Cold Wave, Minimal Wave, Post-Punk, Early House & New Beat, 1990s Balearica, Goa & Psy Trance, Leftfield, Acid & Tribal House and 2000s Electroclash & NuDisco.
