# Kraftwerk play live, on Twitter and WipEout 2048 plus BBC guest mix by Daniel Miller Although they're in their 42nd year **Kraftwerk** is still the benchmark for electronic music. Last year they premiered their [video installation 'Kraftwerk 3D' in Munich's Lenbachhaus][1], and the pioneer's of electronica won't stop there. During **Miami Music Week 2012** Kraftwerk will be headlining **Ultra Music festival** on March 23rd, which is big news hence the rare number of Kraftwerk live shows. Also, the Düsseldorf outfit is now on Twitter, so feel free to follow **@Kraftwerk**. And last but not least, they were just announced as part of the **WipEout 2048** game soundtrack again with their track 'Tour de France', slightly edited for WipEout. Most recently, Mute Records founder **Daniel Miller** guested on **Mark Jones**' BBC 6 mix programme, sharing his deep knowledge of Kraftwerk in an interview and spinning loads of music by **Les Rhythmes Digitales**, **The Normal**, lots of Kraftwerk, and **Afrika Bambaataa**. Also on the show: **Factory Floor**, who later played a guest mix of their own including tracks by **[VCMG][2]**, **Neil Young**, and **Chris Carter**. Listen to the [BBC 6 mix Kraftwerk special][3]{: target="_blank"} with Daniel Miller and Factory Floor for another 5 days over [here][3]{: target="_blank"}, and [check out **Thomas Demand**'s review of 'Kraftwerk 3D'][1] (taken from the [most recent issue of Electronic Beats magazine][4]).
