  EVOLUTION Robert made his first record on borrowed equipment in 1992 and played his first gig on gear he'd never used before. “I had no musical background or knowledge, no clue what I was doing. I just improvised music. But for the first time in my life I was absolutely in the moment, like a special state of consciousness. And people responded – they loved and accepted me.” Like anyone experiencing a transformation, Robert wanted to do it again and again. Music was a way to rise above the struggles of daily life (in the early years of his career, he slept on a mattress on the floor of a tiny flat in his home town Cologne, his synths his only possessions) and to share the joy of that transcendence with others. Playing as Rob Acid, he ignited parties with fierce techno played by strict rules: every set was 100% live and unique, he deleted the instruments' programming immediately afterwards. Robert's ethos, forged by these acid-drenched sonic exorcisms, is razor sharp: work hard, make mistakes, move on. His tremendous output of official releases pales beside the number he deleted in the studio because they didn't meet his exacting standards. “I'm not afraid to get rid of something that doesn't work,” he explains. “I have so many ideas. It's never quiet in my head.” SYNAESTHESIA Robert has the rare gift of synaesthesia, which turns the world into a continuous interplay of colour, shape and sound. He sees music in 3D, describing tracks as “geometrical poem... sculptures in time.” When he's working on a track he can see the imperfections in the sonic structure and fix them, like a painter correcting a brush stroke. Photography is an essential component of Robert's art and his fans know and love his sensitive and dramatic photos from all over the globe as much as his music. His images are as distinctive as his tracks because, for him, a beautiful photo has its own harmony. He sees music and he hears images, allowing him to bring about a unique artistic synthesis that evokes the underlying energies and structures of the cosmos, speaking to a universal need for beauty and harmony in a fractured world. COMMUNICATION The power of Robert's performances are fuelled by his lack of personal ego: “I'm not playing the instruments,” he says. “The people on the dancefloor are playing me”. He's never DJ'd (“I have so many ideas, I am always trying out my own music”), packs only “underwear and my instruments” to go on tour, and has a single goal: to feel the crowd, make people forget their problems and experience pure joy on the dancefloor: “The perfect moment is when they stop caring about their job, and are in the here and now. You can see it on their faces. They let loose of everything and are completely in the present. This makes me happy.” CRAFT Robert continuously pushes the boundaries of electronic music as an artist, consultant, teacher, and engineer. Among Robert's more than 1000 releases are seven albums and a flood of tracks for labels including Bedrock, INTEC, Mille Plateaux, Systematic, Audiomatique, K2, Treibstoff, SUGA, Punkt and Praxxiz. In recent years, he has focused increasingly on his own imprint, Babiczstyle, which epitomises his sound, emotions and ethos. Robert's exceptional sound-design, mastering and studio skills have prompted companies like Native Instruments and Apple to request his help on sound-design projects. He also teaches workshops on production and his music philosophy; and is one of the electronic music world's most in-demand mastering artists. Fellow artistes from across the dance music spectrum trust Robert to perfect the technical aspects of their records while rendering the emotions and intention even clearer. AUTHENTICITY Babiczstyle is authenticity in action. Wherever he travels the world, Robert is instantly recogniseable for his music, his warm smile, his energy, and his bright red scarf. “It's a bit like Superman's cape,” he jokes. The difference is, when Robert puts on the red scarf to perform he doesn't become someone else. Robert's superpower is the integrity of his art and vision: “I don't want to be dreamed by others,” he says. “I want to be myself.”

  “In the landscape of modern electronic music, few artists embody the raw, improvisational discipline of Saytek.”

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  In the landscape of modern electronic music, few artists embody the raw, improvisational discipline of Saytek. A UK-based electronic musician and one of the early architects of contemporary live techno performance, Saytek has never DJed—he performs fully live. Emerging from London’s squat and illegal party scene in the early 2000s, he began constructing real-time machine-driven sets long before “live techno” became a festival staple. His philosophy is uncompromising: nothing happens unless he makes it happen. Every element is triggered, arranged, mixed and reshaped in the moment. You’ll recognise the musical DNA of his releases in the performance, but no two sets are ever the same. It’s a format built on risk, instinct and total control of the machines. Sonically, Saytek’s music is Detroit-rooted and warehouse-driven — high-energy yet deeply hypnotic. His sets fuse improvisational intensity with rolling machine funk, drawing influence from 90s techno in Detroit, Europe and the UK, while absorbing the wider spirit of that era’s electronic movement: breakbeats, jungle, ambient experimentation and house. The result is music that can be both explosive and transcendental — built for peak-time impact yet capable of pulling the room inward. Forged in the underground and refined through years working behind the scenes as a sound and lighting engineer in leading clubs, Saytek developed a deep understanding of sound, space and energy—knowledge that continues to define his performances today. From the terrace of Space Ibiza to Berlin’s Tresor and Sisyphos, London’s Fabric and FOLD, and major events such as Awakenings and Rave The Planet. Touring extensively across the USA, Canada, India, Mexico, Costa Rica and throughout Europe, Saytek has built a truly international following for his distinctive live machine performance. His live jam videos have amassed tens of millions of views long before the modern Instagram clip era, establishing him as a reference point for authentic machine-led performance. With multiple Beatport #1s and numerous Top 5 chart positions, Saytek has earned consistent recognition in FAZEmag’s Live Act public poll—Germany’s biggest dance music magazine—ranking in the Top 20 every year since 2019 and in the Top 10 for the past three consecutive years. He has also been described as a “live performance genius” by Carl Cox. His prolific catalogue, spanning albums and predominantly live-recorded releases, has appeared on heavyweight labels including KMS, Soma, R&S and Awesome Soundwave. Whether in an intimate basement or on a global festival stage, Saytek’s mission remains unchanged: to push techno forward through the unpredictable, visceral power of live machine music.

  Ein stereo aktiver Mensch, zwei verschiedene Stile, zwei verschiedene Geschmacksrichtungen......Das ist Milk`N Coffee (MNC) Zwei die sich ewig kennen und immer wieder das schaffen, woran manche verzweifelten, nämlich die Meute zum Toben zu kriegen, das war die Leidenschaft von Anfang an. Recht früh fühlte Chris sich dem Sound von Electronic Beats, Berlin House (Viva) und dem deepen Techno Sound aus Berlin, Detroid und London verpflichtet und schuf seinen eigene Spähren und deepen Klangwelten. Milk`N Coffee (Chris) steht für seinen eigenen verspielten und dynamischen Sound und vermittelt den Techy Touch in seinen Live sowie auch in seinen Dj Sets. Weich wie Milch und Stark wie Kaffee, so klingt sein Sound und ermöglicht dem Zuhörer, den Zutritt in eine andere rhythmische Welt.
