Technobeton @ Vox Sinistra's Strict Tempo

It was summer. There was a lucky moment without corona. And then there were the wonderful people to make the Kvartal Festival in Sofia happen. We played for them our most cheezy but in a way serious set. We played a track for Voin who shook the tent. Even the last track we dedicated to the policemen, who killed the party. This unforgettable night is now at least in the sonic component conservated here, and available to listen to! Enjoy and cheers!

Guest mix 22 comes from The Robot Scientists!! 

These guys have been featured on the blog quite a few times through their excellent label Emerald and Doreen and their equally amazing podcast series Something Spaecial !!

Here is their biography : 

The Robot Scientists (TRS) are vinyl-only DJs from Germany. TRS became known through myspace and soundcloud and are now respected worldwide for their sophisticated track selections and energetic live sets. Their sound is always hypnotic, psychedelic and synth-heavy, a spaced-out mix of NuDisco and Deep House with a touch of New Wave. They launched their own label "Emerald & Doreen" in 2012.

Stefan and Markus met again in 2008, after exactly twenty years. As Markus was studying and working all over Germany, they haven't met after the end of their common school days. As teenagers, they played in the same basketball and football teams and DJed together at school disco evenings. They got heavily influenced by their DJ-godfather Ronald Springer who was the resident DJ at their local "Chic" discotheque in the 80s, having worked at the Studio 54 and at the BBC before. Back then, they invested every Deutschmark they had into the best italo disco records Ronald played on Saturdays: Mr.Flagio, Doctor's Cat, Casco, B.W.H. and the like. 

When Markus and Stefan met again, they knew that the disco revival had started, so they decided to start with The Robot Scientists. Markus had a radio show in Mannheim/Germany before, www.musique-elliptique.de, and his co-host, friend and TRS-guitarist Eric gave him the "I-Robots" compilation as a present, already in 2005. Both haven't heard of CBS (Cybernetic Broadcasting System) yet, but they had their shelves full of 80s vinyl. As the classic italo vocal tracks were ok in the 80s, but sounded pretty cheesy in 2008, they started mixing mostly the instrumental b-sides on their now almost legendary "Musica da Batticuore" mixes. They found thousands of friends and supporters on myspace and readers of their blog "Mister Italo". Until today, 17 Musica da Batticuore mixes have been made which have been downloaded more than 20.000 times until today.

When the NuDisco-scene emerged shortly after, they started hunting for the best new tracks and edits on vinyl. They created a new mixtape series, "Cosmic Beach Club" and "Spaced Out Disco". TRS also produced several edits of obscure italo and space disco gems which they made available for free on their soundcloud page. Most successful ones so far were "Freak Connection Freaks in Space Edit" by Cerrone and "The look of love Synth Edit" by ABC. 

When Black Leather Records asked them for a remix of a Greg Punkov track and David Caretta of International DJ Gigolos fame said he wants to release their first single on his label Space Factory, they teamed up with guitarist Eric and Ex-Vienna Scientist, drummer, song writer and producer Markus "Fred Scholl". Together in the studio, they produced their "Space Love EP" with the two electro-space-wave-disco tracks "Star Dust" and "Earth Rock", later also "Black Hole" and "Catch Fire" which they released on their own label Emerald & Doreen which they founded in 2012. 

Spinning strictly vinyl, they played live sets at Stall 6 in Zurich, at Cosmicotherapy Party in Paris, the Introducing Festival in Berlin, at Vielspass in Rennes, as support for Giorgio Moroder in Luxembourg etc.

Welcome back to the discovery channel with exciting news from the animal world. Follow the heavily transcoastal trail on this 12".  A gamble that paid out with just about 4 people having this in their wantlist on discogs when we listed it. Replaced artwork - original has a cheesy black and white portrait of the maker. Watch out this is the only version to get. The other Remix 12" does not have this version here and is not what you want darling

Not An Animal Podcast No.54 - PONTY MYTHON - March 20

@therobotscientists are Markus Schneider and Stefan Maurer, also curators of @somethingspaecial and two of three @emerald-and-doreen-rec.

The nerdy German DJ duo loves telling highly beautiful, melancholic, energetic stories of the future with their exceptionally quality-oriented, uplifting and fun sets and podcasts.

Rooted deep in robotic-romantic 80s italo and electronic new wave dance, their melodic selections meander between soulful, funky cosmic-balearic disco, new wave-inspired dark disco, spaced-out electro-disco, driving psychedelic house and minimal wave, along with carefully chosen references to 1970s, 1990s and 2000s electronic music.

Classe oblige: being the proud owners of 5000 (great!;) vinyl records, the gem diggers, electro-disco historians and dancefloor magicians hope you enjoy listening to their treasures as much as they enjoyed making them.

Home is where the heart is, and in this case that saying rings true. Though @michael-mayer-kompakt puts his love, sweat and tears into running KOMPAKT between producing music and DJing, he has managed to evade releasing anything solo on the mothership for the past 8 years (!!). There’s been no shortage of musical output in that time – be it his DJ Kicks, the ambitious collaborative full length “&”, and remixes for Metronomy, Weval, Arthur Baker and Jagwar Ma to name a few. This new decade promises a world of change, and fortunately for Michael (and all of us), his begins with the release of HIGHER on April 24th.

Italo Disco and early 90’s US Deep House (think Nu Groove, Strictly Rhythm, Nervous) are some of the foundation blocks of what motivated Michael to become a DJ and create music. He finds inspiration with the sample heavy tracks from that era – particularly the ones that used the human voice as an instrument to generate freshness, soul and warmth. To those that have seen Michael Mayer DJ will immediately recall the spirit of his sets when first hearing the title track HIGHER. A House number that is playfully serenaded by lyric-less throwback vocals. DOOT DOOT is a deeper acid tinged affair that is carried by wordless vocal melody that recalls a classic Susanne Vega song from an era gone by.

Michael has never been shy of playing a little proto-trance now and then – Take A Stand For Love adheres to the harmonic practice of the genre but changes things up thanks to a growling, gorgeous bass rhythm. Peak time pleasurable.

Belle De Lune is how we know Michael best and an apt finale that is introspective but very much dance floor driven. The track evokes an insatiable steaminess thanks to melodic bass rhythms and haunting synths. Epically lush.

Michael Mayer - Belle De Lune

A very special - all unreleased Discobeton a.k.a Technobeton set.
The mix was created in the first days of 2021 out of many old project files, which weren’t finished. Some of them were hated, some of them - not so much. After pouring the whole raw material into one big file. Things started to get much clearer. Some parts, urged to go to the dark bottom on the bass side, while some others dropped their heaviness and became angel voices or dreamy melodies. The first two tracks are like a fog curtain, opening and introducing different characters. They talk to each other in a very wise and somehow pathetic language, because the scenes happen in Ancient Greece. Then the disco beat comes, and conversations get more emotional, close, and even indecent. The several cinematographic moments are interpretations of personal Dramas that happened to Discobeton and weren’t censored, because of his sentimental and theatric character
