"The evolution of electronic music. The innovative programme delves into history... To those inspirational moments where machines and humans fused to create the elementary roots of much of today's sounds.
This programme cuts between the avantgarde composers such as the innovative synthesizer style of Kraftwerk, Afrika Bambaataa's electrofunk, Roni Size and his drum and bass landmarks, and the likes of Photek, one of the most original jungle composers.
