Two time GRAMMY® Award candidates (Best Electronic/Dance Album) 3kStatic have charted two #1 albums and over 20 Top 25 tracks with releases on labels including Sony BMG Germany, Cargo Records Germany and many others.

3kStatic has recorded and collaborated with artists from across the music spectrum, including: Vile Evils (Graham Crabb & Adam Mole of Pop Will Eat Itself); Parthenon Huxley (ELO Part II / The Orchestra); George Clinton & The P-Funk All Stars; Kevin Max (dcTalk); Professor Griff (Public Enemy); Randy Garcia; Annette Strean of Venus Hum; Shelley Harland; David Manion (Kansas, Paul Rodgers); Robert Bond (Bo Diddley, Les McCann); Jan Pulsford (Cyndi Lauper, Thompson Twins); Joy Askew (Peter Gabriel, Joe Jackson); Virgil Howe (Yes, Future Sound of London); Nort (Cabaret Voltaire (live), Hula); Rom DiPrisco (Skinny Puppy, Richard ‘Humpty’ Vission) and Greg X. Volz (Petra), among others.

Cabaret Voltaire founding member and electronic music icon Richard H. Kirk designed the cover art for the band’s 2005 album Cut Up / Liberate.

Presenting ardent social activism in a framework that draws on all forms of electronic/dance, rock and urban music, 3kStatic has drawn particular acclaim in the US and UK underground. The band’s releases have seen greater commercial acceptance in Germany and Continental Europe, where the album The Great Republic was named one of the Top 10 albums of 2006 by Cargo Records Germany.

Recent 3kStatic remix releases + an aggressive live schedule have increased awareness in the dance mainstream.

The 3kStatic track ‘Groove at the Point of a Breakdown (feat. Professor Griff and Kasuf & The Mazz Muvement) was selected as among the ‘Songs of the Times’ by protest rock legend Neil Young.
