From the forthcoming album on Alpha Pup, CtrlAltDelete: Free the Robots – Jupiter. via.
Update: another freebie Free the Robots mp3 from XLR8R: Orinon’s Belt Buckle.
Comparatii cu artisti precum RJD2, Kid Koala, DJ Shadow si Amon Tobin sunt inevitabile cand auzi piesele sale. Maestru al ritmurilor percusive, Robert e puternic influentat de tobarul Led Zeppelin: John Bonham (‘Creatorul beatului de hip-hop’ – dupa spusele lui). Dincolo de genuri si comparatii, identitatea sa muzicala poate fi auzita si simtita in cadrul performance-urilor live: pulsul muzicii si prezenta sa fiind adevarate generatoare de energie in randul publicului.
In cadrul TMBase Music Workshop – Robert Magnificul va sustine un workshop extins de 3 zile deschis tuturor – ce va acoperii subiecte diverse de la productie si compozitie la dj-ing si live performance.
11 pm / Parcul Herastrau , intrarea din P-ta Charles de Gaule, aleea cu skate park-ul, langa Gradina Japoneza, dincolo de Baraka.
Sincer!

“At this point, an artist like Martyn needs no introduction. Widely hailed as a leader when it comes to pushing sonic boundaries, particularly in the world of dubstep, we here at XLR8R are simply ecstatic that he’s put together an exclusive mix for our weekly podcast series. Fresh off the release of his genre-hopping Fabric 50 mix, here Martyn gets even more schizophrenic, somehow assembling a cohesive listen while delving into classic house and techno, heady hip-hop, avant-garde beats, new-wave pop, and more—he even kicks things off with a little bit of chillwave. Refusing to limit himself to a single sound or style, Martyn always pilots a unique course—the fun part is following along on the journey.” via. Tracklist after the jump.

Aloe Blacc – I Need A Dollar – download (personal fave’)
Damn if this track from LA soul-slinger Aloe Blacc isn’t the finest slice of vintage-sounding, piano- and horn-powered funk we’ve heard in quite some time. We’re not usually big on nostalgia parties, but if you can’t enjoy a few laps in the “I Need a Dollar” pool, you’re officially dead inside.

Take – Soul Particles – download
Taken from the second of All City’s set of 10 collaborative 10″ releases highlighting acts from LA’s burgeoning beat scene, Take‘s “Soul Particles” begins with a soulful disco sample, then launches into a shuffle that would make Flying Lotus proud. Snippets from the original sample form the regal melodic backdrop for the piece, with echoing female vocals and a nice, lilting synth line doing most of the work in front of secondary blips. With his more sample-heavy, experimental approach to crafting beats, Take is on track to become one of the most unqiue artists to emerge from what is an increasingly crowded genre.

Jose James – Code (Produced by Flying Lotus) – download
Nu-jazz crooner Jose James continues to soothe with his smokey intonations on this track from his latest album, Black Magic. There’s something of the late Marvin Gaye in James’ voice on the piece, whose crackling beats and vintage organ samples could only come from LA’s Flying Lotus. In short, “Code” is perfect for some sexual seduction, but if you want a more immediate experience of FlyLo’s musical prowess, the producer is also making some limited live appearances in the coming months, which you can check out below.

Secondhand Sureshots is a filmed experiment in creative sound recycling. Dublab directors Bryan “Morpho” Younce & Mark “frosty” McNeill sent beatmakers Daedelus, Nobody, J.Rocc and Ras G on safari into L.A. thrift stores with orders to make new music out of five finds while the cameras filmed the whole process. The result is a mini-documentary about putting new life into old vinyl. Over 2 hours of footage, music & bonus material.

Take, born and bred in LA, has recorded for Poobah, Eat Concrete, Plug Research and is about to drop his full length on Alpha Pup this year.. With his three tracks, TAKE continues to push the boundaries of left filed experimental Beat music into new directions. The influence of vintage electronic records, 1980’s soul, and hard crunchy beats is apparent as they all get crushed and melted down into fine gold…

Daru & Rena – Lonely Night
Daru & Rena – Feel The Love
This is Detroit produer Daru’s recent collaboration project with singer/songwriter and sibling Rena, and quite the sturdy, stereo-stompers they are. In fact, I didn’t even know cats/kittens were still making Soul as rugged and gravel-textured as this anymore. The backbeats sound as if they were fashioned around the fiercer time period of mid 90s Eastcoast Hip-Hop: pounding boom-bap drum loops and some tremendous break chopping (all delightfully Primo-esque) as Rena’s airy vox glides and glitches along the contour of kicks and snares. You could easily be mistaken into thinking this was recorded in ‘96.
If you were ever a fan of Groove Theory, or you just like your beats hard like 2 day old shit- you’ll be particularly jubilant.
Exceedingly bangin’. Only a total pussy would sleep on this. Tracklist after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Kyle Robinson is a toy maker in Eugene, Oregon. When he’s not busy in the workshop, he makes chip music under the name Thretris. Eventually, he combined his love of 8-bit sounds with his talent for modifying objects by making custom Game Boys.
“As it turned out, a lot of musicians and collectors really enjoyed my stuff so I started doing a lot of them to sell here and there,” he explains.
He says that the inspiration came “after seeing some really steampunk arcade mods online.” Check out his demo video for his gadget below. You can see more customized Game Boys on Robinson’s Flickr page and view his action figure creations on his website.
