Angelo Repetto’s father Marco Repetto was co-founder and drummer of the dark wave pioneers of Grauzone (Eisbär), who rode along on the Neue Deutsche Welle wave from 1980. Although Angelo Repetto was surrounded by his father’s synthesizers as a young boy, he did not discover the potential of the flashing apparatus for himself until 30 years later. Roboto is the musical expression of this relationship, both paternal and creative. “The sound you have in your head and the sound that comes out of you are often two different things. Getting that dissonance to line up, that’s the biggest challenge. Producing music that is in harmony with itself, that’s the definition of good music for me. And that’s not about quality, it’s about the ‘vibe’.” His debut album Roboto deciphers itself as a musical melting pot of ambient, synth-pop, wave, herbaceous IDM and acid. Known for projects such as Wolfman, which Repetto has been pursuing with Katerina Stoykova since 2013, Roboto is the musician’s first album that breathes the ambivalent spirit of his musical relationship with the techno scene.
