Kraftwerk Remixes LP & CD 25 March 2022

Triple Black Vinyl LP, Double CD and Exclusive Limited  Edition Coloured Vinyl LP

Available from 25th March 2022 on Parlophone Records

Following its appearance on all streaming platforms in December 2020, the Kraftwerk  ‘Remixes’ compilation will be released on Vinyl and CD by Parlophone Records on 25th March  2022.  

Available on triple, heavyweight black vinyl LP, double CD and as a limited triple coloured  vinyl edition (only available via the KlingKlang webstore and at the ‘Electro. From Kraftwerk  To Techno’ Dusseldorf exhibition from 25th March). 

The compilation showcases Kraftwerk’s immense influence on Club & DJ culture, techno and  all forms of electronic dance music. Featuring 19 official remixes, it collates Kraftwerk’s own  remixes alongside contributions from some of the world’s biggest DJ’s and producers including  François Kervorkian, William Orbit, Étienne de Crécy, Orbital, Underground Resistance, DJ  Rolando and Hot Chip. The remixes are taken from various Kraftwerk 12” singles, CD singles  and digital releases from 1991-2021. 

The album also plays host to Kraftwerk’s very latest Kling Klang studio output with the inclusion  of ‘Non Stop’ alongside newly updated mixes of ‘Home Computer’ and ‘Tour De France (Etape  2)’. ‘Non Stop’ actually began life as a soundbite recorded for MTV in the 1980s, but in 2020, Kraftwerk took the original 30 second sound clip and then transformed it into a full 8 minute odyssey as it appears here. 

Fans and collectors will be pleased to see the inclusion of the William Orbit Hardcore Mix of  ‘Radioactivity’ which was previously only available on the 1991 US 12”, other notable additions  include DJ Rolando’s reworking of ‘Expo 2000’, Francois K’s & Étienne de Crécy’s remixes of  ‘Aéro Dynamik’, Kraftwerk’s own remix of ‘The Robots’ (‘Robotnik’) and Hot Chip’s extended  mix of ‘La Forme’. Whilst all the featured remixes are available on streaming services, physical  copies have long been out of print, so this triple vinyl and double CD release is a welcome  addition to the Kraftwerk catalogue, and particularly a must have for electro DJs.

It’s significant that ‘Remixes’ features some of the biggest DJs in the annals of club culture, since the link between Kraftwerk and DJs has played an integral role in the band’s legacy. The  seeds of which were sown in New York one night in 1977 when, on a visit to an afterhours  club, Kraftwerk founders Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider witnessed Afrika Bambaataa cut  up ‘Trans Europe Express’ and ‘Metal On Metal’ across 2 turntables, stretching it into a 20  minute extended mix that had Black America dancing on its feet. Then came ‘Planet Rock’  and the rest is history… 

Kraftwerk’s creativity sees no stopping in 2022 as they take their multimedia 3-D show around  the globe including a 24 date North American tour and a co-headlining appearance with the  Chemical Brothers at All Points East, London on Saturday 20th August 2022 – see full dates  below.

The multimedia exhibition Electro – From Kraftwerk To Techno is currently hosting audiences  in Kraftwerk’s native Dusseldorf and runs until May 22nd. Since its appearance in London at  the Design Museum in 2019, the exhibition has now been expanded with Ralf Hütter contributing a selection of futuristic new images and graphic designs which perfectly illustrate that unique Kraftwerk vision.
