After a couple of teasing EP & video clip releases, ladies and gentlemen, Alfa Matrix is proud to present to you today the much awaited full length album by the new ultimate EBM project by the members of one of the cult electro industrial music pioneers of all times next to KRAFTWERK and EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN: DIE KRUPPS’ very own Jürgen Engler and his fellow members Ralf Dörper and Marcel Zürcher!

The idea for them was to have an outlet for songs that couldn’t be used in a DIE KRUPPS context. The use of guitars in ROBO SAPIENS music being taboo! ‘In a way, it’s a return to our Electro roots, but with a twist. Imagine the Duesseldorf sound of KRAFTWERK mixed with hard DIE KRUPPS EBM. This combination of styles has been spooking around my brain for a while, and it was time to put it into action,’ Juergen Engler says.

This stunning 10-track “Robo Sapien Race” album offers the perfect blend of minimal, vintage and outstanding powerful synth music with harder, stronger and angrier EBM assaults made of fat and ripping basslines, powerful German vocals and upbeat synth sequences. The result proves that DIE ROBO SAPIENS have already found their own niche, which Electro fans from both genres will surely appreciate!

“Robo Sapien Race” is also presenting a conceptual background about the dehumanization and technological dependency of mankind… without it you are nothing… so conform or revolt! A futuristic atmosphere perfectly rendered by the talented Japanese designer Tomoki Hayasaki.

T.A.N.Z… T.A.N.Z… Tanz mit DIE ROBO SAPIENS! Volle EBM Kraft Voraus!

When Bodo Staiger of RHEINGOLD passed away in December 2019, the time had come to pay homage to one of Duesseldorf’s legends with their song “FanFanFanatisch”. Our Electro Industrial music pioneers decided that this should be released under their “electronic-only” project DIE ROBO SAPIENS.

Although KRAFTWERK were never a direct influence to Juergen Engler, the track “Duesseldorf” pays tribute to the city that brought us that unmistakable sound that made the city famous.

The music lives on, and the featured additional remixes by label mates KANT KINO, AESTHETISCHE, IMPLANT and 808 DOT POP prove that even newer generations of musicians are still influenced by it today and put all their (he)art and craft into this tribute to the electronic school cradle.

This “Duesseldorf EP” is past, present and future… and its homage to electronic music is even more significant today with the recent additional loss of Florian Schneider (KRAFTWERK) and Gabi Delgado (DAF).in 2020.

Are we all electronic music “FanFanFanatisch”? Minimal, vintage and outstanding powerful synth music delivered for the pleasure of your ears by DIE ROBO SAPIENS. Volle EBM Kraft Voraus!

AD:KEY’s characteristic male/female vocal duality approach, their straight danceable EBM basslines and catchy synth lines nicely come and wrap the unmatchable powerful voice of Jurgen Engler – DIE ROBO SAPIENS (the 100% electro project of DIE KRUPPS members).

Besides the single and extended versions, we also get alternative and diverse remix versions by IMPLANT, AESTHETISCHE, RECTOR SCANNER, ZWEITE JUGEND and MASCHINENWART. “It’s a lot it’s a lot – let’s play master and servant…”

Ladies and gentlemen, Alfa Matrix is proud to present to you today the first EP by the new ultimate EBM project by the members of one of the cult electro industrial music pioneers of all times next to KRAFTWERK and EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN: DIE KRUPPS’ very own Jürgen Engler, Ralf Dörper and Marcel Zürcher. 

Collaborating with the exceptional U.S. Electro artist JG and the ROBOTS, who also directed and can be seen in the DIE KRUPPS Video “Robo Sapien”, “Tanz Mit Dem Roboter” is a direct wink to the Düsseldorf synth origins of the band, intelligently reworked by label mates RETRO SCANNER, the unique Belgian vintage synth duo METROLAND and the uprising Swedish minimal electro pop talent of ELEKTROKLÄNGE. 

The outstanding track “Teufelskreis” reveals the harder, stronger and angrier EBM side of DIE ROBO SAPIENS, with its fat and ripping basslines, powerful German vocals and upbeat synth sequences. This new instant club hit gets remixed here by two other prominent figures from the EBM scene and Alfa Matrix label mates ARMAGEDDON DILDOS and Sebastian Komor (KOMOR KOMMANDO, ICON OF COIL…). 

A stunning hi-energy kick-ass 7-track EP giving a promising foretaste of the band’s forthcoming album “Robo Sapien Race” presenting a conceptual background about the dehumanization and technological dependency of mankind… without it you are nothing… so conform or revolt! 

T.A.N.Z… T.A.N.Z… Tanz mit DIE ROBO SAPIENS! Volle EBM Kraft Voraus!
