The music of the Kitbuilders can be described as Electro with SciFi-Punkrock-Energy and a grebo edge. A remarkable element in the tracks are the vocals of Ripley. In the Kitbuilders-cosmos you will also find the Sparks in their Moroderphase, Chris and Cosey, Neu or Devo, although their music is no 80s retro stuff. After a handful of 12" singles and compilation appearances on labels like Electrecord, World Electric, Vertical and Ersatz Audio , "Wake Up" is the debut full length from the Cologne-based duo. The US magazine „XLR8R“ called it „...an excellent hybrid of the past and present“. Alongside American outfits like Adult. and Fischerspooner, Kitbuilders are at the forefront of the worldwide electro revolution. Equal parts Moroder and Liquid Sky, the duo of Benway and Ripley fluctuate between adrenaline-rush bpm 909 beats, fluttering sci-fi arpeggiations and tense, sinister moodiness. Recent realeases are the slyder 12” on World Electric and the “Bad Girl” 5 track 12” on Breakin´Records. The Jockey Slut wrote: “Like Adult. on crack, Kitbuilders attack with an EP en-compassing bonkers electro pop, dark and hard electro …Electro with guts, pop with personality, the Kitbuilders demand your attention”. Current releases are an exclusive track on the new "Misery Loves Company" Compilation (Ersatz Audio/Detroit,) a 12” on World Electric incl some Bolz Bolz remixes, a split 12” on Art Of Perception with John Starlight aka Zombie Nation) and a remix of the Lectronix track "Motorbike" feat. Man Parrish (Throb Rec.NY). The Kitbuilders did a lot of kicking live shows including the SONAR 2000 Festival in Barcelona; Fun/New York, Circuit Cabaret/San Francisco, Roskilde Festival (Den), Alive Ferstival (B), WMF Club/Berlin, Haywire Sessions at Turnmills and Fabric/London, Eurosonic Festival/Groningen (NL), Dedbeat Festival/Norfolk (UK), Turbo/Helsinki, Bergen/Norway, Oslo, Loft/Barcelona, Dynamo Dvash/ Tel Aviv etc.
