Musician of Electronic
A.k.a. Thomas Robert

Behind Dystronic is Thomas ROBERT from Augsburg, South-Germany. The musical history of Dystronic began with electronic music, metal and punk. In the 1980s he moved in the local punk-scene. He played drums in two punk-bands and wrote articles for a punk-fanzine. From 1988 on, he extended his musical preferences with grindcore, death metal and doom. From 1994-1995 he played drums in a grindcore-band. Since he never concentrated his musical preferences to only one style, he re-discovered electronic music in 1995 (especially electro, but also dark-ambient, acid and drum&bass). From the beginning involved in the 2000-founded electro-network and label "Kommando 6", he decided in 2001 to start producing his own electronic tracks as Dystronic and released these preferably on the "Kommando 6" - label till the label stopped its activities end of 2006. Besides his solo-project, Dystronic is involved in the side project "Black Spider Clan" together with Beta Evers from (ex-) "Kommando 6". Apart from music, he also produces videos and visuals (as Dystronic and under the alias "Syskin"). In 2004 he founded "Simulacron", a network which became mainly a small label. The full-length Dystronic album "Vague Visions" was released on "Simulacron" in 2010. Since 2011 Dystronic as project is in sleeping-modus because the focus was concentrated on other/new musical projects/bands.
