TEKKNO by Electric Callboy
TEKKNO is an album by Electric Callboy, released in 2022. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Pump It”, on 4 lists with a best position of #42.
Tekkno, the sixth studio album from Castrop-Rauxel's Electric Callboy, came out on Century Media on 16 September 2022. It's the first record since the band shed the old Eskimo Callboy name, and the first with Nico Sallach handling clean vocals next to keyboardist and singer Kevin Ratajczak. A band that started out with serious lyrics and a post-hardcore sound now plays it for laughs, and plays it loud: electronicore that slams breakdowns into rave synths and Eurodance hooks, the sound of a mosh pit breaking out at a foam party.
"Pump It" is the gleeful centerpiece, all thumping dance beat and chugging guitars, and "Spaceman" shoots even further out of orbit. Comedic songs, videos and live shows like these are what finally dragged the band into the mainstream. It was also drummer David-Karl Friedrich's last album with them; he left in April 2025.
