Datapunk is an electro label run by Anthony Rother. Could Rother have dreamed four years ago that his break from the cherished traditions of electro would bring such a massive influence on the aesthetics of electronic dance music in the 21st century? In addition to prominent single 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-fertilisation 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. And whoever has followed this tonal development, knows in any case about the outstanding importance of Datapunk for the triumphal procession of electro under modernised signs.
