Astroboter

“This dude definitely went to the DJ Shadow school of drum programming. It's solid!” – Blockhead (Ninja Tune / USA)

It all began with a faulty translation:

A drunk and stoned Polish monk transcribed philosophical scrolls from India and made “Staro Robota” – which means “old work” in Polish – into “Astroboter”. This mistake soon became a myth take and found its way into the people‘s folklore, turning this metaphysical energy into the form of a robot, who is able to discharge the energies of good and evil.
