The Bionaut has been played over 20 times on NTS, first on 10 October 2015. The Bionaut's music has been featured on 21 episodes.

The Bionaut was an alias used by Jörg Burger, a gentleman who was one of techno music's earliest supporters and a champion of Cologne (Germany) minimalism music. The Bionaut issued several tracks on Europe-only releases from 1993 through 1997, all of which are increasingly hard to find and/or out of print. But Matador Records took care of the problem in 2001, by compiling the 18-track collection Lubricate Your Living-Room. Burger has issued albums under a variety of different aliases over the years, including burger/ink, the Modernist, Trinkwasser, and Geometric Farms, and in addition to his musical adventures, Burger has run both the Popular and Eat Raw record labels.
