ROBOTERWERKE were be a bunch of German freaks based around Supersempfft’s Dieter Kolb who, during the mid 60s, were the first to experiment with electronic music. At a time when electronic synthesisers and drum machines didn’t even exist the band had to literally invent their own instruments and if you want to know who built all these magical machines which were later excessively used by artists such as Kraftwerk, Herbie Hancock and Tangerine Dream, then look no further.
ROBOTERWERKE were the first to release music with a drum computer, a self-made model which caused Herbie Hancock to pay the band a visit to find out more about their marvellous inventions and to this day they remain very close friends. ROBOTERWERKE (under the name of ‘Supersempfft) went on to release 3 LP’s (‘Roboterwerke’ 1979 on CBS, ‘Futurist’ on RCA and ‘Metaluna’ 1978 - all adorned with spaced out cartoon Furry Freak Brothers style cartoon imagery).
Whilst Kraftwerk’s music gained international recognition as one of the first electronic acts and founders of modern dance music, ROBOTERWERKE were much more influenced by P-FUNK and acts such as PARLIAMENT and their sound takes a much more krautrock / leftfield aesthetic. Furthermore, every year the band spent a lot of time in the Caribbean and heavily influenced by the local ‘erb supply, the band developed a deep love for the local sound of steel drum music and Soca and from then onwards, they developed their own style of funky disco, electro and Soca.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
