Ever since his first releases, “Sex With The Machines“ (1997) and “Simulationszeitalter“ (2000), Anthony Rother has been among the German pioneers of a new electro generation. In 1998 he set up his label platform “Psi49Net“ and ultimately became an institution with his virtual electro-pop project “Little Computer People“ (2001), and the album “Hacker“ (2002), among other activities. In 2004, Rother replaced “Psi49Net“ with the label “Datapunk“, as a sign of a sonic and thematic reorientation. The album “Popkiller” stormed the charts, followed by “Super Space Model“ (2006), as a masterpiece of sonic concentration. In 2010 the Popkiller Saga will continue with Anthony´s next Album Popkiller 2…Be prepared.

Since 2007, separating himself from the hype of “electro”, Rother has been exploring his own symbiosis of electro and techno under the term “moderntronic“. This resulted in Anthony’s first fully digitally produced album: “My Name Is Beuys Von Telekraft“. At the same time he has been pressing ahead with his hardware-based live activities. Anthony Rother continues to appear live before his audiences with his real-time-operated machines. Appearances across the world at all the world’s big-name events make him one of the few legendary live acts of our time.

Rother also established himself early on as a co-producer and remixer. Successful examples are his cooperation with the Frankfurt DJ icon Sven Väth (e.g. the albums “Contact“ and “Fire“) and with the ex-Kraftwerk member Karl Bartos. A production partnership going back many years also links him with the Munich star-DJ Hell and results like the LP “Teufelswerk“ (2009). Remix work for important artists such as Nena, Tiefschwarz, Ellen Alien, Thomas Schumacher and AUX-88 clearly emphasise Anthony Rother’s current, exceptional status.
