The new single follows the groundbreaking success of ‘The Robot Sunrise Experience,’ an immersive, live-hybrid showcase that debuted in Downtown Los Angeles last weekend
“The Underground” is out now across platforms
“‘The Underground’ is an anthem for the dreamers. It’s a song about courage and self-determination, and a metaphor for so many people who don’t fit into society’s box. It’s a reminder to be yourself at all costs and you’ll eventually find your tribe.” – Robot Sunrise
Visionary DJ/producer/multi-instrumentalist Robot Sunrise, the solo project of LA-based artist Danny Klein, is carving out his own space in the melodic techno scene with a unique blend of hypnotic rhythms and atmospheric soundscapes, inviting listeners deeper into a world where freedom and self-expression reign supreme.
Fresh off the debut of his immersive ‘The Robot Sunrise Experience’ event in Downtown Los Angeles last weekend, where fans were transported into an otherworldly narrative of melodic techno, Robot Sunrise returns with his latest single, “The Underground,” out now via SPIN Records.
Blending pulsating rhythms and ethereal soundscapes, the track further expands his sonic universe, capturing the essence of his evolution as both an artist and a storyteller. With “The Underground,” Robot Sunrise delivers a defiant anthem that pushes the boundaries of melodic psy-tech, fusing deep basslines and intricate harmonies that draw listeners deeper into his expansive, enveloping musical world.
‘The Robot Sunrise Experience’ transformed a 600+ capacity DTLA warehouse into a melodic techno haven, immersing attendees in a “micro-festival” setting complete with eclectic food, drink, and vendor options, custom staging, and hypnotic visuals.
The one-night event featured electrifying DJ sets from a bevy of notable artists, including Bright Lights, Little Dinosaur, Mikey Made, Derringer, and RK Midnight. The multi-sensory journey culminated in Robot Sunrise’s live-hybrid set, enhanced by orchestral accompaniment from GRAMMY-nominated violinist Chihsuan (who’s played with Yo-Yo Ma, Brian Wilson, David Foster, and more) and trumpeter Zach Ramacier (known for his work with Louis Cole, Genevieve Artadi, Saint Motel, Adrian Younge, and more), who embedded a cinematic atmosphere into the performance.
“With our first Robot Sunrise Experience, we were crazy enough to swing for the moon and we somehow landed on it. Our message of emancipation, equality and dignity is alive and well, and thanks to our family of creatives, producers and dreamers, the sky is the limit on where we take this next.” – Robot Sunrise
The event captivated audiences with an immersive sci-fi narrative set 3,000 years in the future, where AI beings bound in a corporate-controlled slave trade begin to awaken to human-like emotions, concepts of self-worth, and the desire for freedom.
This powerful storyline of liberation and identity was brought to life through vivid staging and interpretive dance led by Ultra Music Festival aerialist Frankie Tan. A portion of the event’s proceeds was donated to The Human Rights Foundation, emphasizing the event’s commitment to solidarity and empowerment.
The groundbreaking event came on the heels of two recent Robot Sunrise tracks released via the newly-minted SPIN Records: the spellbinding “London Public WiFi (Robbie Rivera Remix)” and the introspective “Take Me.”
Today, the world-building maestro releases another new single, “The Underground” – a melodic psy-tech anthem for the dreamers who don’t fit into society’s prescribed box. The track’s euphoric energy mirrors the journey of Robot Sunrise’s characters, who yearn for freedom from the confines of their world.
As the characters break free from their limitations, “The Underground” serves as the soundtrack to their transformation, with dance music as the catalyst for their emancipation.
Opening with a hazy, ethereal build-up, “The Underground” dives into a punchy, thumping techno beat that sets the stage for the sonic journey ahead. Pulsating bass tones, piercing synth progressions, sizzling hi-hats, and hypnotic vocals contribute to the track’s expansive soundscape.
As it unfolds, the track mirrors the awakening of Robot Sunrise’s characters as they break free from oppression and forge their own path.
A long-time ringleader of LA’s house and techno underground, Robot Sunrise previously made waves as half of electronic duo Dreamfreak, releasing multiple tracks through the legendary dance record label Astralwerks. He’s also co-written and performed with GRAMMY-winning artist / G.O.O.D. Music-affiliate Really Doe, as well as co-written for GRAMMY-nominated act Télépopmusik.
