Energy 2000

Energy 2000 is a music project that emerged in 2012 in Richmond, VA. The group was formed by brothers Taylor and Ian Robinson, who began creating music in a small apartment using a Yamaha keyboard, guitars, and GarageBand. Their sound is deeply rooted in psychedelic, space, and surf rock influences, with a strong emphasis on vintage musical elements and themes related to space exploration. Inspired by the early days of spaceflight and vintage science fiction, Energy 2000's music often evokes a sense of cosmic wonder and exploration. Recent releases include tracks like "Periapsis," "Opposition Surge," and "Interlaken," showcasing their eclectic and imaginative style.

Energy 2000's creative process is influenced by a wide range of sources, including David Bowie's space-themed songs, vintage surf rock, and classic science fiction radio shows. The use of long pan reverb, tremolo, delay, and vintage amplification adds to their distinctive sound, which often captures the emotional breadth of exploring the vastness of space. Through their music, Energy 2000 channels the spirits of early space pioneers and crafts a unique sonic journey that is both nostalgic and futuristic.
