Cabaret Voltaire was a British electronic music band formed in Sheffield, England in 1973 by Stephen Mallinder, Richard H. Kirk, and Chris Watson. Named after the Dada movement's founding nightclub in Zurich, Cabaret Voltaire pioneered industrial music, blending surrealist experimentation with DIY punk and Brian Eno's sonic tech geekery. Their early work involved DIY electronics and tape recorders, evolving into synthpop, dance, house, and funk styles.
