Close your eyes. Picture Rusty Griswold at a topless disco in National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985). Do you hear that song playing in the background? How awesome is it??!! Well, this was the track.

Alexander Robotnick, aka Maurizio Dami, rewrote Italo by attaching a ground wire to Electro and letting the current rip. He also set the bar for performance names. This fellow is a legend who still exercises his servos and gives one hell of a live performance.

Problèmes D'Amour (Ah Ou Ah Version)

The original version of this seminal italo disco track was released in 1983 on Fuzz Dance. This version was released on white label promo and 7" in 1984, with a full promo with great circuit schematics in 1985. The audio was downsampled to 128kbps, per the artist's request.

Problèmes D'Amour (Dub Version)

The original version of this seminal italo disco track was released in 1983 on Fuzz Dance. This mysterious dub version was released on the 2003 LP "The Dark Side of Disco" compilation. The audio was downsampled to 128kbps.

Obsession for the Disco Freaks

"Obsession For The Disco Freaks" is an Electro-High Energy track, Robotnick's ironic tribute to all lovers and vinyl collectors of the 80s Italo High Energy Disco music. Few famous DJs and producers appear on it. It's up to you to identify them

This is probably the last robot dance outfit I'm going to post for a while. UK's Tik & Tok were pretty far out there, looking more like Fischerspooner predecessors than robots. Luckily for them, their darker, more minimal synth tracks were way, WAY better than their robotic dance routines. The only place I've ever seen The Tube is on a 2004 Rephlex pressing that has all of Tik & Tok's better (i.e. more minimal) tracks and sells for under $10!

A brilliant obscure track used for a tv show from the synth pop robotic duo Tik & Tok

Machines that think they're human pretending to be robots. I-R-O-N-Y. Love it. The track is decent, but nothing mind-bending.

Fotostat were a robot-orientated dance and music duo, who enjoyed brief success in the early 80's during the New Romantic / Futurist era. This track is called "Fotostat", and was filmed at the Ultratech club in Glasgow in early 1983.

SCHEMATIC: Fotostat strut their circuits to Kraftwerk, more vids, technics ad, 7" tracks, album artwork and label scans...
