Robot Bennett

08/07/2025

Add a hypnotic kick to a whispered desert wind –
blending the rhythm of a heartbeat remembering its origin with a sparkling snap of snare and hat.

Rob doesn’t just play music –
he weaves timelines.
He traverses continents,
letting ancient rhythms speak through modern machines.

His sound is where Menace meets Magick,
where Fable flirts with the Future,
and where the dancefloor becomes a place of sacred remembrance.

You don’t just hear it. You feel it.
In your belly, in your spine, in the space between your thoughts.

🌀 Want to know what that sounds like?
Come dance.
Come listen.
Come remember.

Kai Eikermann) in the Hammahalle, Sisyphos, Berlin with a multitude of aficionados. The DJ Robot Bennett, also an Afrobot, played this music for the Kai Afrobot to express b-boying dance moves in the very early hours of the first day of June 2025.

Sunday forecast: sun, sand & sweat.
Not your average beach day –
It’s Techno Yoga at Sisyphos again!

This Sunday, we will stretch to the beat,
breathe through the bass,
and salute the sun with style.

Come and flow with Rob Bennett and DJ Crawford –
your guides to full-body bliss.
Downward dog meets dance floor.
Inner peace meets outer wobble.

Time: 9-11am Sunday 4th May
Place: Sisyphos Strand
Bring: a mat and your rave spirit

Let’s align those chakras, snares, hats and kicks 🎼🧘🪩

Rob’s favourite quote.

Also known as: “How to stay grounded, impartial and serene while so many others are busy being someone.”

The stone is perfect, solid presence - beyond ego - pure essence.

Where are you these days – storks, snakes or stone?

🦆The recording of my early morning Easter Monday set in the hammahalle, Sisyphos is now posted on SoundCloud. That it all worked out is hard to believe, feels like a small miracle. Find the full explanation on SoundCloud.

There was a very welcoming large crowd in the hammahalle at Sisyphos on Easter Monday morning. Setting up was easy – my friend Martin was artist care. He’s one of the best and very helpful. But when h

Sisyphos is full of joy; in the never ending dance on the mountain rolling that rock and rocking that roll up, down and round again. Carrying the bane of the constant dance, the levity of surreal vision, liminal spacing with freedom to dream – expressive creativity or creative expression.

Good news, dear ducklings!
I will play the closing set in the Hammahalle at Sisyphos on 21st April, Easter Monday morning 7 - 10am.
Yes, that’s the magic hour when night meets light… and I’m pretty pleased (as you can well imagine).
Expect a set that moves from ecstatic to deep – somewhat hypnotic, rooted in bass – produced from the heart.
Dance like it matters.
Why? Because it does.
See you in Val HALLE with THOR.

‘Book me before I die.’ –Not just a slogan - an invitation.

I am Robot Bennett. Born in South Africa in 1949.
In Berlin since 1982. Techno DJ since 2015.
Music has always been my language.
I see dancing as healing.
DJ’ing can help expand consciousness through deep states of trance.
Trance can be a key to healing and transformation.
Techno parties are shamanic rituals because rhythmic music is medicine.

🎵 From baroque to bass. From jazz to kick drum.
🌍 From South Africa to techno clubs and festivals (Sisyphos, Garbicz, Nation of Gondwana,
Bucht der Träumer, Moloch, Jonny Knüppel, Rummelsbucht, Mensch Meier, Fusion)
🌀From body therapy to trance dance.

My path began with folk, blues & guitar, led me through shamanism, yoga and body therapy – and into the clubs of this city.
I am an initiated sangoma, a South African traditional healer.
I am a DJ who combines techno with ancient rhythms and healing knowledge.

What do I do today?
My DJ sets are designed to be transcendental 🧘🏽‍♀️.
🌀 I facilitate Trance Dance and Techno Yoga workshops – to help people feel music, not just listen.

For me, a DJ set is a ceremony.
Dancing is not just movement. It is transformation.

Are you ready?
Tell me about your most intense dance experience.
