Kraftwerk
1970–heute
Über Kraftwerk
Founded in Düsseldorf by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider, Kraftwerk invented electronic pop music. Their minimalist approach to synthesizers, drum machines, and robotic vocals on albums like 'Autobahn' and 'Trans-Europe Express' laid the foundation for synth-pop, techno, hip-hop sampling, and virtually all electronic dance music that followed.
