Kept on Wikipedia:Botz
Botz is an American virtual electronic band formed in the early 2020s. The group consists of four fictional robot members—Ai, Botz, Code, and Digi—who appear in digital performances as avatars. Botz is associated with the experimental genres Aliencore and Spacecore (music genre), and is known for producing music themed around alien identity, artificial emotion, and space travel.
Overview
Botz was created as a virtual band project combining digital animation, immersive storytelling, and genre-blending music. Each band member represents a unique robotic identity with specialized musical functions. The group incorporates science fiction themes and visual elements such as drones, holograms, and simulated interstellar settings during performances.
Style and Influences
The band's music blends glitch-based rhythms, ambient electronic textures, and thematic lyrics related to extraterrestrial consciousness, technology, and emotional programming. Their sound draws from genres including:
- Aliencore – a post-digital genre combining glitch production and alien themes[1]
- Spacecore (music genre) – ambient and electronic music influenced by science fiction and space exploration
Vocals are frequently processed through vocoders and effects, and musical arrangements often avoid traditional pop structures in favor of concept-driven composition.
ASCAP Registration
Botz is registered with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) under the name "BOTZ OFFICIAL", with 64 co-authored works as of 2025.[2]
Members
- Ai – percussive tempo engineer
- Botz – guitar and conceptual leader
- Code – harmonic synthesizer and data keys
- Digi – bassline design and audio effects
These characters are entirely fictional and appear via animated or virtual renderings in live and recorded media.
Performances
Botz performs at themed pop-up events where each band member is introduced via drone descent onto a stage designed to resemble an alien spacecraft. The shows use spatial audio, reactive lighting, and location-based data to shape setlists. Audiences interact with the band through visual projections and immersive screen technology.
