Pyrolator

Pyrolator is the alias of German electronic musician Kurt Dahlke, a pioneering figure in the avant-garde and experimental music scenes since the late 1970s. He was a founding member of influential bands like Der Plan and D.A.F. (Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft), and co-founder of the legendary German label Ata Tak, which became a hub for inventive and genre-defying music. As Pyrolator, Dahlke blends synth-driven experimentation with elements of industrial, pop, and world music, creating a sound that's as playful as it is visionary.

Over the decades, Pyrolator has released a fascinating range of albums, from early experimental cuts like Inland to later works such as Niemandsland and Supra, which showcase his evolving production style. He's also known for his remix work and collaborations, reflecting a career deeply embedded in Germany’s electronic and new wave underground. With each release, Pyrolator continues to challenge conventions and push sonic boundaries.
