Hello everyone! We apologize that it has been a while since our last release. But we hope you agree that the time was well spent. To do these pioneers of electronic music justice, it needed a longer video instead of six individual episodes of "Drum Patterns Explained". And it didn't feel right to simply show the drum patterns out of context, so we went all out and did microcovers for all six of them :) It's thanks to your support that we're able to devote this much time and love to a topic - and we're very grateful for that 🖤

A big thank you especially to our Patron Dennis Harrington who innocently suggested Kraftwerk as a video topic and in doing so sent us on a Kraftwerk trip that lasted two months ;)

We think this video is especially encouraging to beginners, since it shows that you can build great songs out of very simple beats and melodies.

If you want to dive a little deeper into Kraftwerk we can wholeheartedly recommend Karl Bartos' autobiography "The Sound of the Machine: My Life in Kraftwerk and Beyond".

I’m listening to the audiobook of Uwe Schütte’s ‘Kraftwerk: Future Music From Germany’ on my commute to work. It provides a background on the social and artistic context surrounding the formation of the group and the impact it has had culturally in Germany and abroad.
