Robot Sunrise is emerging as a groundbreaking entity in the melodic techno genre, led by the talented producer/DJ/multi-instrumentalist Danny Klein.
As a prominent figure in Los Angeles’ underground house and techno scene, Robot Sunrise previously gained recognition as part of the electronic duo Dreamfreak, where he released several tracks under the iconic record label Astralwerks. Klein has also collaborated with GRAMMY-winning artist and G.O.O.D. Music member Really Doe, and has co-written for the GRAMMY-nominated group Télépopmusik.
Currently, Klein is evolving his Robot Sunrise project into a richly layered, narrative-driven initiative. His artistic vision is heavily influenced by principles of emancipation, equality, and peace, reflecting a desire to use music as a catalyst for social change. To reinforce this mission, Robot Sunrise donates a portion of all profits to the Human Rights Foundation, translating his musical endeavors into real-world support for those facing oppression globally.
Not long ago, audiences were introduced to Robot Sunrise’s evocative techno style with the release of “London Public WiFi (Robbie Rivera Remix).” As the inaugural release of SPIN Records, this track marked the second collaboration of 2024 between Robot Sunrise and renowned UK artist Robbie Rivera, who masterfully reimagined the original track.
Today, Robot Sunrise proudly presents “Take Me,” a lush, ethereal track that captures celestial tones within its melodic techno framework. The inspiring melody that defines “Take Me” was birthed from a dream, creating a fluid dance experience perfect for both club settings and personal listening.
The track opens with an expansive riser before transitioning into a driving four-on-the-floor beat, incorporating thumping kick drums, forward-thinking synth arpeggios, granular hi-hats, and haunting pads. The introspective piano motif is introduced, leading into the lyrical section: “Take me, where there is nothing/Take me, to the stars,” as Robot Sunrise delivers his enchanting vocal processing atop the track’s atmospheric soundscape.
Robot Sunrise has also announced a one-of-a-kind performance, The Robot Sunrise Experience. Scheduled for Saturday, November 9 at the Porter St Community Center in DTLA, this immersive event promises to integrate spellbinding orchestral accompaniment, experiential elements, interpretive dance, and a unique storyline, showcasing his headlining live hybrid melodic techno set. The evening will also feature special DJ guests Bright Lights, Little Dinosaur, and Mikey Made.
The Robot Sunrise Experience follows a series of exclusive performances over the past month, including a remarkable set at Burning Man, where Klein took participants on a 90-minute journey through 125 BPM melodic techno.
In September, Robot Sunrise took the stage at the inaugural Off The Grid Campout Austin. This performance set the tone for his much-anticipated live set at the SoCal edition of Off The Grid Campout, now in its eighth installment this weekend. Off The Grid Campout is a grassroots underground electronic music festival in the Mojave Desert hosted by the event brand True Entertainment, with Klein represented by their new management division, True Management.
