New late summer mix from us for Soulmeex! https://soundcloud.com/soulmeex/086-the-robot-scientists "Markus Schneider and Stefan Maurer, known as The Robot Scientists , are two music connoisseurs, DJs, and vinyl collectors hailing from Saarbrücken, Germany.
They are also two of the three founders of Emerald & Doreen Recordings, established in 2011, which specializes in releases on the fringes of italo, dark and nu-disco.
As DJs, they emphasize italo and arpeggio basslines, believing that more of it is better. They creatively explore themes like robots, consciousness, psychedelics, superpowers, aliens, space travel, creativity, futurism, fun, and freedom. Their sound journeys into both utopian and occasionally dystopian realms, though they usually keep things light-hearted, reflecting their fun-loving nature.
Last but not least, they also run SOMETHING SPÆCIAL since 2013, one of the leading mix series on Soundcloud for Indie Dance / Cosmic Disco with an Acid touch."

Hey fellow robots, flashing red banger alert! :) Here is the mix incl. tracklist we made for FFM's Blank Wave series:

Keep in mind that any mix should be a lot more than the mere track selection and sequence, and so it is also in this case: let us know how much energy this gave you after listening. People say it is also great for work and workout, even if it feels a bit otherworldly, that is fine, there are more than the 3, 4 dimensions we know of, and this works on all levels:

1. DJ Hell & John Selway feat. Jessie Roestenberg - Save The Robots (The Hacker Remix)
2. Zakmina - Mental Syndicate (Rude 66 Space Psycho Rework)
3. Calystarr - Fantasy time (Pumuki Acid Remix)
4. Arkademode - Second Lesson
5. Highlite – Otherdisco
6. TDWS - Ocho (Mundo D Remix)
7. Luc van Acker, Anno Domino - Zanna (Biesmans Remix)
8. Boys' Shorts - Flying Away (Whitesquare Remix)
9. Pim Secle, Orchid - Zivot (Technobeton Remix)
10. Rafael Cerato - All Your Questions
11. Niv Ast - Rockafella (Sandhog Remix)
12. Karpovich, Jon.K - Sound Explosion
13. Commander Tom – Attention
14. Los Angeles T.F. - Magical Body (Kendal remix)

Sat down yesterday evening to create a list on discogs of my favorite rather underground electronic music record labels, i.e. labels which are stylistically harder to pin down for the non-nerd and which had or still have a focus on releasing vinyl records, plus a handful of the more recent digital labels which are essential to know.

Hope this list helps music loving people from all over the world (like you) to discover them, because in an online platform world that does not really support the idea of a "record label" as a needed filter for quality anymore, this is harder than ever.

These record labels however do or did exist and contributed and supported legendary electronic artists and tracks, some more, some less imho, but hey, this is just my list, and I am a genre nerd for decades now with a few 1000 records at home.

Here is the info text:

"100 Cult Labels Space-/Italo-/Electro-/Dark-Disco (old & new): You know, the ones with the most hidden gems, those with more arpeggiators, melodies, romance, melancholy, vocals, energy and more fun.

Stylistically, it has always been hard to put them into the right drawer, most are mainly influenced by the funkyness and the futurism of 1970s space disco, the melancholy of darker New Wave and Post-Punk from the late 70s and early 80s, the simplicity of minimal wave and synth-pop in the early 80s, the melodies, melancholy and romance of early 80s Italo Disco, the power of HiNRG and EBM and also psychedelic early 90s Trance.

The labels are also sometimes quite eclectic so you need to do a lot of digging to find the gems, but it is worth it. Some also show a connection to Disco, World Music, Tribal, Acid House, Leftfield, No Wave, Industrial, Soul and New Beat, basically everything and more that makes up "House" music."

https://www.discogs.com/lists/100-Cult-Labels-Space-Italo-Electro-Dark-Disco-old-new/1523112

If you have more labels you would like to suggest, let me know, I can expand the list! :)

So falls wer am Samstag ausgehen will, ich werde am Silodom beim Sektor Heimat vom Start weg sehr ordentliche Bretter, die mir die Welt bedeuten, auflegen, es wird so eine melodisch-energetische Italo-Trance / Indie-Dance / Happyrave Nacht a la Something Spæcial - DJ Mixes & Track Premieres mit ordentlich BPM für meine Verhältnisse, passt am besten in die Zeit, man will ja Spaß haben! :)

I am sure you couldn't come up with a genre name like "Krautrock" today as a journalist without being burned alive or at least shunned as a baby hater or even worse, but nevertheless, the early 1970s were a time in which German "rock" bands started to experiment with electronic instruments and create their very own, unique soundscapes. Here is a good collection of the most important and most influential albums by discogs.

Explore essential krautrock albums from groups like Can, Kraftwerk, and Tangerine Dream.

Happy to get the chance to create a "Space Disco" classics mix for Rune Kahr awesome "Universal Beats" DJ mix series, tracklist below 👇 "The Robot Scientists started in 2007 with their "Musica Da Batticuore" vinyl mix series which featured many obscure, timelessly great Italo Disco, Space Disco and New Wave tracks from 1977-1984, mainly from their own record collection and featuring rare b-sides. The now legendary series of 17 classy mixes got over 20.000 downloads back then via myspace - so after the very influential Dutch Cybernetic Broadcasting System and the Danish Italo legend Flemming Dalum, the two Saarlanders might have had their own little share in amplifying the global Disco revival in those days. In this mix, they went back to their Space Disco roots and compiled 30 essential grooves, paying a tribute to the Cosmic Daniele Baldelli tapes they love as well. Enjoy the ride!"
