Robot Koch - "Listen to them fade" EP

Oh man. I was pumped when I saw this album up, paid for it and everything. Robot Koch is definitely one of my favorite producers at the moment, this Berlin based producer has such a crazy good unique style. Lovin' this record, a widely diverse range of dubstep, tribal, vocal, and just twisted soundscapes. Dubbed out, fuzzy, and definitely wonky to the fullest, Robot Koch makes music for robots indeed. Check out a free track posted on XL8R and if you dig it, buy the full-length EP (it's only like 7 bucks or so). Definitely well worth your money.

Free The Robots - "Control Alt Delete"

Debut album here from Free The Robots, aka Chris Alfaro, even though he's been producing for years now. Official release March 30th on Alpha Pup records, but as you may know by now I stay committed to bringing you the freshest, nicest cuts. This guy is going to be HUGE, really enjoying his sound.

Heard a couple cuts from him before, but this album blows everything else outa the water. His style is pretty damn unique, especially in today's oversaturated electronic music scene. The tracks all bounce, but in different ways, and with tons of crazy futuristic styles. He uses a lot of chippy/8bit sounds, combined with thick dubstep style bass lines and crispy beats. He uses the trademark dubstep wobble sound in a new/fresh way, splicing it with off-beat hiphop sounds and claps. Highlights for me were "Mental Universe" and "Turbulence", but the whole album is dope. Even has one of the dudes from Mars Volta on a track, givin' you an example of the eclecticism represented here.

Rae Davis - "Positive Thinking!"

Rae Davis is one chilled out dude. This album is deeply mellow and organic, moving through an alternative jazz/electronic universe of sounds. Dude is nasty like that. Really relaxing listen, nice jazzy sounds. Check out "This I Dig of You" and "Shook"


"Positive Thinking!"

Guizado - "Punx"

Seriously insane but awesome music here. This is new, crazy jazz from Sao Paulo, Brazil, inspired by the bustling metropolis and with a unique feel. Last.fm says "In Guizado, the musician searches (and thinks) his own stamp on a mixture of harmonic inks of his instrument with the textures found in experiments with several electronic paraphernalia." This album is at times jarring, with bursts of electronic noise and glitches, but also beautiful and melodic at times.

The track "Coloridos" is a good example of this, a simple guitar part coming in over a glitchy electronic beat, followed by a beautifully simple and elegant trumpet line. This album really is pretty fucking cool, I listened to it tons when I first copped it, definitely a non-traditional work but as mentioned has enough melody and funk to keep the repeat button going. Standout tracks to me were "Coloridos", "Orbitas", and "Rinkisha" (ROCKS OUT by the end of that one man), sick stuff...

dont sleep on this!
