- August 15th 2023
This new programme is about the influence of Ralph Hutter and Florian Schneider, the leaders of the German band KRAFTWERK, in modern Pop music and other different trends. Probably, the most influential band in the history of pop music, especially since the ninety-eighties
The playlist is a journey of modern music covering from the German underground scene where Kraftwerk started to the electronic music greatest artists as Aphex Twin through their Japanese counterparts of Yellow Magic Orchestra, the Disco music of Giorgio Moroder, the techno-pop of the Human League, the electro-punk of Suicide and D.A.F. the post-punk sound of Manchester Factory record band A Certain Ratio, their influence in the Hip hop pioneer Africa Bambaataa, the Dub, ambience and world music creators of Bill Laswell and Jah Wobble and the House music pioneers of Derrick May (founder of the Detroit Techno music) and the NY DJs of Masters at Work.
Kraftwerk music was the seed of many forms of modern music — the band who saw the Future and showed us the way.
