Train Wreck Mix - Volume 2 - Alexander Robotnick (Hot Elephant Music, Italy)
Hot Elephant Music, Florence, Italy
It's not often you get to hear tips and advice from an original untutored electro rebel... While Kraftwerk were deep into the Western classical ting, Alexander Robotnick mixed jazz and his influences from punk and new wave groups to deliver his very own take on late '70s dancefloor culture. He began his musical career with a Roland 303 and 808 and laid down some demential electro, before the independent label Materiali Sonori suggested he should try recording some disco tunes to make a quick buck. Problemes d'Amour - a self-confessed flop - sold 10.000 copies way back in '83 - and went on to influence Chicago house and Detroit techno along the way.
