Cabaret Voltaire just released a live album that pulls from all eras of the pioneering Sheffield electronic group, and with that in mind we asked founding member Stephen Mallinder to tell us about five artists and songs that helped shape Cabaret Voltaire’s sound over the years:
- Can – “Vitamin C”
- Joy Division – “Atmosphere”
- Wayne Smith – “Under Me Sleng Teng”
- Fela Kuti – “ITT”
- Lonelady – “Groove it Out”
Watch Stephen talk about all five below.
Cabaret Voltaire start the West Coast leg of their final tour on May 4 in Seattle. The rest of the US and Canada will get shows in September, including NYC’s Knockdown Center on 9/25. All North American shows are with I Speak Machine and check out their full final tour schedule below.
