If the robots are coming, at least they’re bringing the brass section. Tamela D’Amico and Wolfgang Lohr just dropped their second collab, “Here Come The Robots,” and it’s the kind of track that makes you want to clear the living room floor and start dancing like the future already arrived and decided to swing.
This one follows their earlier track “Boring 20s,” and the chemistry is still strong. Wolfgang Lohr handles the production and composition while Tamela writes the lyrics and delivers the lead vocals. The result sits right in that sweet spot where electro swing, electro pop, and nu jazz / jazztronica meet. You get those classic Swing House grooves, vintage-sounding brass, and modern house production that keeps everything moving. It’s cinematic without being heavy, playful without losing the groove, and built for both playlists and actual dance floors.
The concept is simple and fun: robots don’t show up with lasers this time. They take over the dance floor instead. There’s a retro-futuristic feel running through the whole track, the kind of tongue-in-cheek storytelling that fits perfectly with electro swing’s long tradition of mixing old-school swing energy with electronic production. Tamela’s voice sits right in the middle of it all, charismatic and clear, while background vocals from Dhana Taprogge add extra texture. Guitar work from Daniel Beja and the mixing and arranging from Wolfgang keep the whole thing tight. Mastering came from Gavin Lurssen, so the final product has that polished, ready-for-speakers quality.
Tamela D’Amico is a Telly Award-winning multi-hyphenate who moves between music, film, television, and digital media. She first made her mark as a jazz vocalist with the album Got a Little Story, recorded at Capitol Records and released through LML Records and The Orchard. Since then she’s continued recording singles and music for screen projects while expanding into writing, producing, and storytelling across different formats. Her work with Wolfgang sits at the intersection of classic style and contemporary culture, and “Here Come The Robots” continues that thread. The song was partly inspired by Fritz Lang’s Metropolis and a frustrating run-in with an AI chatbot, which explains the playful-yet-cautionary take on technology and humanity.
Wolfgang Lohr, based in Berlin, has been deep in the electro and crossover scene for years. He started out as a trumpeter, singer, and songwriter in the ska band DaSKArtell before moving to Berlin in 2007 and diving into the city’s electronic world. He’s worked with projects like the Disco-House duo DINKS and the Tech House outfit Dorade, and has remixed artists including Felix Jaehn, Parov Stelar, Alle Farben, The Manhattan Transfer, and In-Grid. His cover of Ray Charles’ “Hit the Road Jack” has racked up tens of millions of plays and helped establish him as one of the more recognizable names in electro swing. On top of the music, he founded the FDF music blog (later a house label) and the Electro Swing Thing label, which is exactly where this new single lives. Catalog number ESTSP117, released August 21, 2026.
The track feels like a natural fit for the current wave of electro swing and jazztronica that keeps finding new listeners who want something that swings and still hits in a modern club or festival setting. It’s equal parts story and body music: enough melody and character to stick with you, enough groove to keep the floor moving.
