Two tracks from Anthony Rother's Popkiller 2 album. "Mother" has an audibly compressed sound, using the unmistakable sounds of his singing voice once again, giving the Rother-style a brand new facet. "Cinema" is an abstract, minimalist party track: as funky and rocking as it is elegant, held up by a video-game tune and reaching its climax with a filter reverb.

Frankfurt-based producer Anthony Rother presents Popkiller II, the follow-up to 2004's Popkiller. After freeing himself from his last remaining existing constraints, Rother re-designed his website and turned Datapunk into an exclusive outlet for his own material. Where the musical journey will go in the future is revealed by "Big Boys," a track in a rocky electro style that has already united the pop world with the club world in an innovative way with the Popkiller sound of 2004. And yet somehow, Rother manages to not only tie in the ten songs with the Popkiller spirit, but to also breathe new life into his aesthetic. The first song "Night" is already a link and constitutes the counterpoint to Popkiller's predecessor "Day," at the same time. Similarly, instrumentals such as "Cinema," "Skyline" and "Gates" reflect Rother's musical range from sci-fi to abstract techno in an exceptionally diverse way. However, what makes Popkiller 2 distinctive on the underground music scene are its vocal-centric themes such as "Rotation," "Mother" (as a follow-up to the Popkiller hit "Father") or the dramatic "Grab Your Life." Practically vocoded unfiltered, Rother goes all out with his vocals once again and convinces with melodic tracks full of emotion, raw beauty and irrepressible energy. Completely self-determined and artistically concentrated once again, with Popkiller 2 we are the ear-witnesses to an Anthony Rother who once again produces music that is fully free.

Since 1990, the Detroit Underground Resistance collective around "Mad Mike" Banks has been a profound sociological network in sound. Remixes by the group are rare, and here they take on Anthony Rother's 2005 single When The Sun Goes Down. On the "Ain't No Sunshine" remix, the bass drum comes in after more than two minutes, contrasting dramatically with the "Flash Light Remix," whose psychoactively wandering chord hook will astonish both Detroit traditionalists and contemporary sound researchers.

Igor Tchkotoua and Dan Duncan aka Pig&Dan are amongst the most influential protagonists of Balearic techno music. With their debut for Datapunk, both prove their good nose for powerful yet harmonic techno. "Dream Of Bells" is situated in the golden center between modern Chicago sound, percussive acid and psychoactively blurred digital cembalo. The powerful subwoofer orgy of "Subculture" also vibrates with restless modulations and metallic percussions through an acid bath, without 303 clichés. Something for your mind.

This is part three of the Datapunk label's We Are Punks, CD compilation series, curated by Anthony Rother and including 4 previously-unreleased tracks. Almost a year has now gone by since the highly-acclaimed second edition of the Datapunk CD anthology -- high time, therefore, that the label states the position of its sound once more in the year 2008. We Are Punks 3 starts with something of a sensation: The remix of the 2005 Rother single "When The Sun Goes Down" is by none other than the Underground Resistance collective, which is headed up by "Mad Mike" Banks. The first tones that mark the cautious start to the remix, which is only available on this CD, and in which the bass drum only kicks in after two minutes, demonstrates that something interesting is going on at Datapunk right now. Also, in the trusted hands of main mix-man DJ Matthias Gustke, aka Ziel 100, an almost 80-minute long psychoactive cocktail has been created which impresses not least because the world of sounds continually avoids any clear classification of style. Unusually low key at the start, Bremen Herzblut and Spiel-Zeug-Schallplatten record producer Stephan Bodzin, and Patrick Zigon, known for his remixes for Cocoon, Treibstoff and Great Stuff, formulate a modern understanding of deep and harmonic techno which works really well, whether played in the nightclub setting or elsewhere. Later on, however, the energy levels increase considerably, and those who don't dance themselves into a sweat with the acoustic loss of control by Sven Väth and Anthony Rother ("S'Kränkt'), Hell + Rother's cryonic "Bodyfarm" inferno, the 2008 acid by Pig & Dan ("Dream Of Bells") or the tribal percussive dub-tech inferno of "Temperature" by Marcus Schmal aka Broombeck (previously known through his ambient project Guardner), surely aren't into techno. Other artists include: Loco Dice, Telekraft and Frank Kusserow.

This is a thrilling foretaste of the third Rother album on Datapunk. "Don't Panic" features vocoder voices and is a unique vision of a futuristic abstraction between techno, disco and electro. The "Dataclash Mix" on the B-side leaves the listener speechless. Going against the grain with extremely surprising noise effects, this mix is tailor-made even for reductionist DJ sets in its psychoactive darkness.

This is part two of the Datapunk label's We Are Punks CD compilation series. Given wings by the outstanding success of the first edition of the anthology as well as the Various Punks Volume A double EP, Anthony Rother and Matthias Gustke aka Ziel 100 once again select the best melodies from the successful label. With over 150 minutes playing time on two completely mixed CDs, the second chapter of We Are Punks is an intensive bridging of the past and future of a label which has defined the sound of modern clubs through a fertilization of techno and electro into a new hybrid. In addition to the compiled Datapunk club hits of the last few months (Anthony Rother's "Moderntronic 3" and "So Good," Billy Nasty's "Iconic Warfare" and/or "Electro Maloquerio," Umek's "Vandal Derivate" or Kiko's "30.1"), many of which appear on CD format for the first time, there are seven exclusive tracks which until now have not been released, which will appear on two vinyl full-lengths at the same time and will anticipate the sound profile of the label for 2008. Particularly worth mentioning are the label debuts of Polish producer Robert M aka Elektro One and Daniel Wilhelm from Hamburg. Robert M's "Elektro Tape" is a prime example of a playful and aggressive version of electronic dance music, which shows an exciting way out of the uniformity of the minimal techno dogma, and the organ sounds of "Alster Dream" by Daniel Wilhelm remain constantly present in the balance of a night dancing away. In addition, Ziel 100 shines with a streamlined bass line feat, while Frank Kusserow provides a sensual balance with his melodramatic "Just A Little Traged" and the tradition of electro comes into its own with a return to the old by Miss Kittin & The Hacker. Finally, in year five of the still-young label history, there is one thing that Datapunk doesn't want under any circumstances: to sit back and mark time. Also includes Artist Unknown, Xenia Beliayeva, Gregor Tresher, Christopher Kah and Internal Sync.

During the past 4 years of its existence, Anthony Rother's Datapunk label has been a massive influence on the aesthetics of electronic dance music in the 21st century with its triumphal procession of electro. In addition to prominent singles and LP releases by Rother, in conjunction with Sven Väth and DJ Hell, among others, as well as landmark productions from Johannes Heil, Artist Unknown, Billy Nasty, Bodzin & Huntemann, Xenia Beliayeva, and many others, a cross-fertilization of techno and electro was cultivated into a new hybrid, which has defined the global sound of the clubs in recent years like nothing else. We Are Punks, now for the first time, integrates the Datapunk singles, which so far have only mostly been available on vinyl, in a comprehensive and completely non-stop mixed CD anthology with over four hours of play time. Rother has taken almost 40 tracks from the label's past, present and future: CD1 and CD2 review the most important moments of the Datapunk history, which is so rich in club hits (including Johannes Heil's "The World"; Väth vs. Rother's "Springlove"; Rother's "Father" and "Punks"), and CD3 looks forward. In addition to some remixes and new tracks, this is an exclusive look at the sound of Datapunk in 2007. One standout example is the remix of the Super Space Model hit "Don't Worry," where Xenia Beliayeva provides a congenial duet with Rother. This compilation also takes a look at some new faces in the punk squad, including Frank Kusserow, Elektrodrei and Kiko. New wave, disco, electro, what-have-you, this is the perfect amalgamation, encompassing the tonal cosmos of the label perfectly. Other artists include: Datapunk Rockstars, Gregor Tresher, Boys Noize, Terence Fixmer and Artist Unknown.

The Moderntronic EP takes a high-contrast journey between binary beeps resolved in subsonic bass pulse and epic harmony baroque with electronic spinet on the A-side, while the B-side holds a likeness to "Popkiller" or "Super Space Model" times. Of course everything remains strictly formatted to the dancefloor despite new, textural sound geometry. The dawn of a new era. Sven Väth and Tiefschwarz have already introduced this to their dancefloors -- why don't you?

Artist Unknown presents selected pilgrim travels to Kathmandu, guitar roadie performances for Oasis and visits to video stores in Turku as its highlights. In terms of music, this displays a complete mix of references. At first it touches the dogmatic proto-EBM of Conny Plank, and of course lots of Kraftwerk. Also mixed in is the Chicago sound of Cajmere/Green Velvet. Soundtrack meets bodyrock. Song structures search for counter-deconstructive compositions. Love, coldness and melody are taken in equal measures. Future was then -- present is now!

Six years after their debut album Future and four years since the last 12" Errorist, Artist Unknown, Germany's cloak-and-dagger electro project is now releasing on Anthony Rother's Datapunk label, which is currently expanding its content of electro music in all directions, like no other platform at this time. Artist Unknown veils itself in secrecy, owning to pilgrim travels in Kathmandu, guitar roadie performances for Oasis and performances at video stores in Turku as its recent meanderings. In terms of music, Present displays a complete mix of references: the dogmatic proto-EBM of Conny Plank (producer for DAF, Kraftwerk, Neu! and Ultravox, among others), and cultivated electro-class blueprints as well as the narrative Chicago sound of Cajmere/Green Velvet, along with the usual Artist Unknown bleepy, squelchy electro traditions. The result is a new uncompromising headstrong album that leaves all established models and borders of current music electronics behind. Soundtrack meets bodyrock. Song structures search for counter-deconstructive compositions. Songs like "The Happy Days" and "Demons & Girls" evoke love and coldness, melody and madness in equal measure. Future was then -- Present is now!

This Is Electro combines the most essential tracks of the last eight years produced in the studio by Anthony Rother, the 30-year old best-selling producer from Offenbach. Like no other, Rother shaped the aesthetics of the electro-music genre for years and years with his international ground-breaking releases, precisely because he never stood still; instead he was the pioneer of stylish motorbeats. This landmark development of electro-music will be obvious in the two CD versions of the DVD sets This Is Electro, which, with 28 tracks and over two hours playtime, combine the most important points of Rother's career in completely remixed and digitally remastered versions. In addition to the greatest hits of his albums Simulationszeitalter (2000), Hacker (2002) and the Little Computer People LP Electro Pop (2001), there are a variety of tracks, which have only been available on vinyl up to now and, to some extent, are sought-after collector's items. Additionally, the CDs also include the five unreleased tracks "Mathematik," "Adam & Eve," "Krieg (Little Computer People Remix)," "Forever" and "Luzifer." Not least, a lot of heart and soul has gone into the accompanying DVD. As well as a complete recording of a live set at the Belgian cult club FUSE (Brussels) from November 2003, it also contains video clips of Anthony Rother. The DVD is in European PAL format and may not be compatible with DVD players in the US; region free, 100 minutes.

Lille-based Terence Fixmer has been a key protagonist of electronic body music and modern techno in the style of Front 242, Klinik or Nitzer Ebb since the end of the '90s. "Passion" is EBM techno to absolute perfection, and those who want to know what Skinny Puppy could sound like in 2006 definitely can't go wrong with this energetic track. No less forceful, but more strongly stamped with the driving handclaps of early '90s Detroit techno, the flip-side track "Hold Me" presents two more soundtracks, of equal length, for this energetic state of emergency.

This is German DJ and producer Gregor Tresher's third release for the Datapunk label. Tresher has rendered outstanding electro services with his project Sniper Mode, modernizing the formal style of electro. His two albums Wastelands (2002) and Travellers Beyond (2003) supplied the blueprint for the musical orientation of the Elektrolux sub-label, Mikrolux. Tresher is considered to be the hottest newcomer of the past year, in part due to the Still EP (2005) and the "Komm" remix of the Väth/Rother contribution to the Cocoon Compilation E -- Tresher achieved two tracks which received a place of honour in Sven Väth's DJ box and were included in his successful compilation, The Sound Of The Sixth Season. Tresher has rocked the best clubs in all of Europe in the past year, from London to Budapest, from Madrid to Athens, from Marseilles to Berlin. For this reason, Tresher selected for Neon - Works In The Mix, two independent formats which present both his role as producer as well as DJ equally. As Tresher says, "The freedom to be able to use elements like vocals or melodies has exquisitely expanded the spectrum of electronic dance music. For me, therefore, elektro has ... a fully new meaning and is no longer defined by 808 beats or vocoder vocals but rather stands for style-spanning and energetic electronic music, free of conventions and rules and expandable in every direction." Whereas the four exclusive new titles are found in unmixed form on the double 12", the CD edition presents these tracks with Tresher's entire Datapunk back catalog as a perfect DJ mix and thus really makes Tresher's musical development clear. From "Firebutton"'s classic vocoder-electro to the saw tooth attacks of "Doom" and "On" to "Still"'s Rhine-Main early '90s flavor, Datapunk predicts an excellent positioning for Tresher in all relevant annual charts for 2006.

Russian Xenia BeliayevaIt is the first female to take her place at Datapunk. With these two tracks, she bridges the crossover point between heavy bassline electrotech and industrial percussions with vocals that resonate beyond nightclub dancefloors. "Ultra Glamour" addresses the aggression that fashion dictates, while "Nanotubes" deals with nanotechnology. But don't be put off, Beliayeva wants to do one thing, which is to rock. On this note, prepare yourself for the Data-girl!

The Londoner Billy Nasty occasionally describes himself in jest as being the "Dennis Hopper of techno." The EP opens with "Iconic Warfare," a high-energy fusion of classic techno with the kind of saw tooth attack so typical of Tresher's productions, and with his incantation of medial sound-warfare, Nasty's vocoder voice provides a high-grade identity inducing message on the dance floor. "Imperfection" further refines this formula again in a 4:4 tempo with melancholy strings and a hedonistic anthem -- a sensory balancing of peak-beat techno between the Underworld and Datapunk styles.

This is Germany-based electro artist/producer Anthony Rother's fervently anticipated second album on his artistic platform, Datapunk. The first track "Nature" immediately confronts with two diametrically opposed concepts: can one compare the wild aesthetic of nature with the virtually fabricated beauty from the world of supermodels? And where do the psychoactive, rocking electric guitars actually come from? But have no fear, Super Space Model is an uninhibited further development of his highly-acclaimed 2004 album Popkiller, continuing the theme of reciprocal communication and interchange between techno and electro into a new hybrid, which has defined the global sound of the clubs in the last two years like nothing else. And whoever has followed this tonal development (at least in intonations) knows about the outstanding significance of Rother's work in general -- and his Datapunk label in particular -- for the triumphant advance of electro in modern times. The eleven tracks on Super Space Model emerged completely on analogous syntheses in a vast number of feverish, steamy club nights. As Rother himself states, "This time I deliberately decided in favor of analog instruments during the selection of tonal means. Of course, Datapunk flirts with the idea of digitalization as a notion, but the 'punk' ultimately stands above all for artistic freedom. This is also why I see no contradiction here." Tracks such as "Nature," "Don't Worry," "Who Dies?," "Lucifer," and the trance-y "Gott" take up rather unusual and intense electro themes in the context of the club, alongside playfully improvised synthesized lines as in "Space Rock." And of course, also included are typically-Datapunk dance floor fillers that ride far far beyond 2006 into the future sound of techno.

Hymnic romanticism and electronic harshness, distortion, tribal tech-house and Detroit trance strings -- everything finds its balance here in ten unforgettable minutes between the silky, shimmering night and the first timidly bursting rays of sunshine. And the electronic ambience of the "No Drums" version additionally proves that the magic of this track is also capable of enchanting without bass kick. After all, who doesn't want to fall in love (again) in the spring? 12" picture disc release.

"The literal sense of music is to transport emotions not money. From the start my approach was to escape this circuit, also as an statement against the slicky and aseptic mainstream popmusic of the 21st century. The image of the critical artist, who is dealing with hushed up topics, does not exist in modern pop music anymore. The main themes are love, sex, richness, honour and the creation of surfaces for perfect marketing instrumentation and not the true & important contents, no matter, if they are in the lyrics or in the music. Consumption is the only content. Johannes Heil wants a lot. It has always been like that. From the first second on Johannes Heil was a huge supporter of Anthony Rother's plan to create a new platform called Datapunk in order to refresh Elektro."
