We played a "hits only" & "vinyl only" set at the magically relaxed Landgut Girtenmühle and recorded it for your timeless listening pleasure. Enjoy the trippy, spacey, funky ride!
Recently we discovered this beauty of a song from the Australian group "Crooked Colours" which is based in Perth and we fell immediately in love with it. The original is great, but a bit hard to dance to, so we rearranged some elements cause we thought some people might be interested in a more clubby version. It is tenderly made with the greatest respect for the original and we hope you will like it as much as we do. A great tune for fans of John Talabot and The XX ;). We have the official OK to distribute it for free, so spread the word and pay a visit to the original band:https://soundcloud.com/crookedcolourshttps://www.crookedcoloursmusic.comhttps://www.facebook.com/CrookedColours?ref=br_tfhttps://www.discogs.com/artist/3961000-Crooked-Colours

The end is near - at least the end of 2021. It was a strange year again. We would like to make it a bit better and were digging very deeply and crisscross through our vinyl record collection. The result is this trip across space and time with some of our favourite gems from the 80s until now - mixed and recorded live as we love it the most. We start at 100 bpm and rising the frequency with every record until we end at 126 bpm. So take two hours of your time and enjoy the "High Riser Disco Club" while first sitting chilled out in your comfortable armchair and then wild dancing towards the end. We wish you the very best and have a great start into 2022. Big love and peace from The Robot Scientists.
This is our latest slomo mix for Chris Scott's "The Pitch Down" series which has been played on graffitikings.co.uk/radio. Enjoy the energetic vibes!

Diese Live-Aufnahmen stammen vom 1. Dezember 1984 (Teil 1) und vom 19. Februar 1984 (Teil 2). Der CHIC-Nachtclub befand sich Ende der 1970er bis Ende der 1980er Jahre in Völklingen / Saar. Völklingen war damals eine der reichsten Städte Westdeutschlands, weil hier eines der größten Stahlwerke des Landes beheimatet war. Die Völklinger Hütte wurde 1986 geschlossen und ist heute ein UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe. Der Resident DJ hieß Ronald Springer. Ronald arbeitete hauptsächlich als Ingenieur, zuerst bei einem Piratenradi-osender auf einer mysteriösen Insel im Ärmelkanal vor der britischen Küste, dann bei der BBC und später im Studio 54 in New York, wo er auch mit dem DJing begann, bevor er zum leben und arbeite als DJ ins Saarland kam. Er hatte gute Verbindungen zu Plattenläden in Rotterdam - wo er geboren wurde - und in Belgien, und der lokale Plattenladen „Musiktruhe“ hatte aufgrund Hunderter Chic-Besucher, die seine Musik auch zu Hause spielen wollten, auch italienische Import-Schallplatten von „Il Disc“ und anderen Labels verfügbar. Sein musikalischer Hintergrund machte seine Clubmusikauswahl wirklich legendär, ein vielseitiger und qualitätsorientierter DJ-Stil, der am frühen Clubabend eher hitorientiert war, in den späteren Stunden mehr Raum für Club- und Undergroundtracks gab, irgendwo zwischen Italo Disco, HiNRG, Synthpop, New Wave und EBM. Der Club verfügte außerdem über einen der größten Show-Laser zu dieser Zeit in Deutschland. Die Lasershows waren ein außergewöhnliches Erlebnis, begleitet von atmosphärischen Electro-Tracks wie Newcleus - Automan (Dub). Ronald begründete unsere (The Robot Scientists) Liebe zur Underground-Clubmusik. Viel später, um 2008, wurden wir persönliche Freunde von Ronald und spielten einige Nächte zusammen in Cocktailbars, Eisdielen und Clubs in unser Heimatstadt Saarbrücken. Er war auch dabei, als wir Giorgio Moroder in Luxemburg als DJs unterstützten und er freute sich sehr, ihn persönlich kennenzulernen. Leider starb Ronald Springer sehr plötzlich und viel zu früh im Alter von 63 Jahren am 3. März 2018. Diese Live-Aufnahme ist somit eine Hommage an einen herausragenden und regional sehr einflussreichen DJ, der die Jugend und den Musikgeschmack von Tausenden von CHIC-Besuchern geprägt hat. Durch ihn hatten sie eine großartige Zeit und konnten herausragende elektronische Tanzmusik hören.

These live recordings are from the 1st of December 1984 (part 1) and the of 19th February 1984 (part 2). The CHIC nightclub was located in the late 1970s until the late 1980s in Völklingen/Saar. Back in those days, Völklingen was one of the richest cities in the West Germany because it was home of one of the largest steelworks the country had. The Völklinger Hütte was closed in 1986 and today is a UNESCO world cultural heritage site. The resident DJ’s name was Ronald Springer. Ronald used to work mostly as engineer first at a pirate radio station on an mysterious island in the English Channel off the British coast, then at the BBC and later on in the Studio 54 in New York where he also started DJing before he came to live and work as DJ in the Saarland. He had great connections to record stores in Rotterdam - where he was born - and in Belgium, and the local record store „Musiktruhe“, due to the hundreds of Chic-goers who wanted to play his music at home as well, also had Italian „Il Disc“ and other import records available. His musical background made his club music selection truly legendary, an eclectic and quality-focused DJ style, hit-oriented in the early hours of the night, more club and underground in the later hours, somewhere between Italo Disco, HiNRG, Synthpop, New Wave and EBM. The club featured one of the biggest show lasers at that time in Germany, the laser shows were exceptional, accompagnied by atmospheric electro tracks like Newcleus – Automan (Dub). Many people say that apart from the Dorian Gray in Frankfurt, the CHIC was the best club in the whole South-West of Germany, a region with more than 20 million inhabitants. Weekends with 2000 guests were not rare in the heyday of the steelworks. People had money and loved to party, Poppers, Wavers, New Romantics, sometimes even Punks showed up and had amazing nights together. Italo Disco acts like Den Harrow or Ago had live performances there, there were fashion shows, model and dance contests. The club also featured an own restaurant and cinema. Ronald established our (The Robot Scientists) love for underground club music. Much later on, around 2008, we became personal friends with Ronald and we played some nights together in cocktail bars, icecream parlors and clubs in their hometown Saarbrücken, he also joined us when we supported Giorgio Moroder in Luxemburg and was really happy to meet him in person. Unfortunately, Ronald Springer died very suddenly and far too early at the age of 63 the 3rd of March 2018. This live recording thus is a tribute to an outstanding and highly influential DJ who shaped the youth and musical taste of thousands of CHIC goers. Through him, they had a great time listening to outstanding electronic music.

Great & rare track from 1984 with a saxophone that some people loved, others not. This edit is for the latter.
We gave this 1983 HiNRG bomb a little twist to highlight the awesome bassline. Enjoy dancing.
