At the begining...
Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico, named as Astrovamp in 1999 started experimenting with old music software, looking to calm down the musical anxiety product of being working as IT engineer and remembering the old times playing with his Hardcore-Metal band called Lenguas Muertas (At that time playing Hardcore-Metal was not a fashion like today).
His first song (called First Trip) were included on the compilation Paraiso-Holocauso Red Wire edited by Genital Productions Mexico. In 2001 Manuel Gomez is included as guitar player and change name to Radiobot (taked from an old Astrovamp song) then started to experiment with latin grooves, trance, drum 'n bass, hardcore and some others interesting electronic styles.
On late 2002 another song is included on the compilation Paraiso Holocauso Blue Wire edited by Genital Productions Mexico. And at same time looking for new oportunities Radiobot moves his location to the north east corner of Mexico in the MX - US boundary (Matamoros).
New job, new life, new friends, new influencies has been changing his sound during these last years. On 2004 the song Silver Mask (a tribute to a legendary mexican wrestler) is included in the compilation Escuadron Alpha a comic with a CD from Monterrey Mexico.
Radiobot has shared stage with important mexican electronic live acts like: La Funcion de Repulsa, Belanova, El Estado, Fabrica de Quimeras, Tech-Support, Sweet Electra, Anemona 9, Chant (Austin,TX), Insect (LA), Division Minuscula, etc.
