About Me


"Musica da Batticuore" - music that makes your heart beat faster as if you just fell in love - that is what we love and how our mixtapes of underground elecronic space and italo disco vinyl classics are called.
Electronic disco artists and fans from all over the world like our vinyl only mixes of electro italo / space disco a lot, here some great comments we got so far:
“GREAT mixes”! Professor Genius, Italians do it better, New Jersey, USA
“The mixes became my bible”! Astrolabe, Tokyo, Japan
“Super Playlists, we love them!!!” Dany, Das Drehmoment, Berlin
“Love your mixes!”, Flemming Dälum, Denmark
“Your mixes are really an example of true perfection." Sergio Rizzolo, Sweden
“Thank u for supporting the real italo electro origins!”, Casco, Italy
Through the mixes, we are paying a homage to the world's best electronic space disco artists and producers from the late 70s till 1984. Most of them were completely overseen, remained unrecognized for their outstanding work which unfortunately was neither known, let alone valued until today to its merited extent.
We hope we can change this a little bit, as even 30 years later their music still sounds ahead of its time. Therefore we hope our mixes please many of today's electronic music listeners and hope they influence some djs and producers as well, as the classic "electronic space disco" sound is one of the most driving, grooviest and sexiest styles dance music has ever experienced.
So in case you like them as well, play them to your friends and spread the word!
About us:
Already back in 1984, we were passionate Italo Disco DJs. At high school parties, friend's birthdays and in smaller clubs we played the early underground Italo Electro Disco tracks from 1982-84, with their minimalistic sounds, driving basslines, spaced out melodies and chilled out 110-122 BPM. We spent every cent on these amazing and amazingly rare records...
Today, as "The Robot Scientists", we create mixtapes for friends called "Musica da Batticuore" with sleazy, driving, futuristic electro space disco classics, but also with some minimal synth, new wave, electro and cosmic disco classics and NuItalo tracks.
We are old school, we own of loads of original and obscure vinyls - and we mix them live when recording our mixtapes. Apart from creating live mixes, we are DJs and produce edits and remixes.
See our work as a promotion for all these ultra-unknown but amazing artists. If you like a track, think about getting the vinyl, a tangible piece of art with a value, at ebay, gemm or discogs! Check out today's artists of the NuItalo scene, releasing on hip labels like Italians do it better, Clone, Flexx, Aube, Viewlexx and the like.
In case you want to go on a space & time trip with us, let us know, just send a mail. We are based in South Western Germany, one of the most centrally located places in Central Europe, so we can hit the dancefloor anywhere quite quickly.
Stay tuned and help us spreading the word about the greatness of electronic space disco!
