To Rococo Rot

There are arguably few bands whose sound is quite so unique as TO ROCOCO ROT. Emerging in 1995 - bassist Stefan Schneider lives in Cologne and Robert and Ronald Lippok reside in Berlin - their electronica was dramatically removed from the techno and machine music their contemporaries were producing. Fascinatingly contradictory, they succeeded in combining glacial sounds with a warm organic production that was undeniably, alluringly, sensually romantic. Their albums have established them as one of the most acclaimed and influential electronic acts around, and their live shows - which underline the human qualities of their art - are gloriously hypnotic.

TO ROCOCO ROT's music has been used in countless films and documentaries as well as exhibitions. (Their first album was actually commissioned by a gallery to accompany an exhibition.) As they once remarked, they don't just make music "for klicks"…
