DJ Magazine: "Your robot butler will love it"
“Stuttgarter Strasse...road to the future”
Part homage to a certain legendary German synth quartet, part history lesson at the Isaac Asimov School for Young Robots, Stuttgarter Strasse is the sound of teknologische musik in an era of progress and a spirit of European friendship. Ansichtskarten aus Wales (“Postcards from Wales”), a 4-track EP based on an imaginary road trip through South Wales by the aforementioned German synth pioneers is available to download for your listening pleasure from Bandcamp, iTunes and all good digital retailers, with a vinyl release planned for later in 2012.
All tracks written, recorded and produced by Stuttgarter Strasse. Copyright 2011.
Mastered by Donal Whelan at Hafod Mastering.

Stuttgarter Strasse
A Deutsche electronische themed tribute to South Wales in his own words: "Stuttgarter Strasse...Road to the future”..
Part homage to a certain legendary German synth quartet, part history lesson at the Isaac Asimov School for Young Robots, Stuttgarter Strasse is the sound of teknologische musik in an era of progress and a spirit of European friendship.

Keep an ear out for this youngster - interesting art and music concepts are bound to flow from his digital hive over the coming years..."
Buzz Magazine, December 2011/January 2012:
"[Dowlais Ironworks'] prominent use of vocoder and slow-to-flatlining beats remind me of what Cylob was doing circa Cut the Midrange, Drop the Bass. This pleases me." (Noel Gardner)
Electroneg:
"Rather deliciously bonkers"
