Kreatiivmootor were brought into existence in 2003 in Tallinn, Estonia by philosopher Roomet Jakapi and lawyer Allan Plekksepp. A track called “Irratsionaalne” became a kind of underground hit in Estonia. Years later the same track appeared on the compilation “Estonian Music Now 2011” released by Red Orange and distributed with The Wire magazine. The first album of Kreatiivmootor, also called “Irratsionaalne”, was released by Odessa Records in 2007. Critics approved the album for its eccentric experimentalism and used various catchy labels such as “dada pop” and “weird shit” to describe it. In 2008, Kreatiivmootor expanded to become an octet. The band has since been using a large variety of instruments to deliver their manifold message. Kreatiivmootor issued their second album “Kaleidoskoop” in 2010. The album offers a twisted musical journey in a psychedelic pop mode. After a successful show at Tallinn Music Week 2011, they performed at several showcase and other festivals abroad, to wit, Waves Vienna, Popkomm, Iceland Airwaves, Positivus in Latvia, Brainlove Festival in the UK and SKIF in Russia. New labels from critics, such as “art-kraut-jazz-techno-improv” and “electro-funk dada-ist experimental happening”, have emerged. In 2016 Kreatiivmootor released their third album “Algne sülg esitab”, which takes a sharp turn and offers a 7-part quasi-improvisational suite in experimental industrial and quirky noise rock vein. The fourth album "Mentalbau" was released in 2019.
