[Interview] Robot Koch- the man, the vision, the R2D2s

Even robots turn to flesh sometimes, and here we have a record in search of that elusive nectar, squashing the digital and the analogue into one fresh sound-pie. Robot Koch explores that sensibility on his new EP, Listen To Them Fade, a musical laser beam that lands in the midst of a tribal fire. The full album will be out in October, by which time I’ll think of better similes 😉

Following is an interview with Robot Koch and a preview of the EP.

XLR8R video: The Evolution of Daedelus

For those among you not familiar with the antics of one Daedelus, muskateer of the monome and proponent of Victorian attire, here’s a perfect introduction, via XLR8R. Watch the video, then find a live show – you’ll feel like you’re on another planet, little blue aliens popping out of those bass lines.

Interview ::: Jesse Futerman – “No theory, no writing. Just from the soul.”

Isn‘t English the omenous language. 

Jesse Futerman – that’s what’s up. 

Whilst obsessively listening to Jesse’s music, it seemed so apparent that this was not in-your-face type of a beat, more like a silent rumble waiting to turn into an earthquake. 

There’s this flow – too fucking cool and collected for a 16-year-old. Jesse’s remixes float somewhere in the outer stretch of the known remix universe, like a bionic rainbow ready to set you on fire. It‘s a different kind of fire. You’ll wanna poke at it. Don‘t be afraid of the fire, cause this 16-year–old ninja beat–tamer is the wild card for hip hop.. not to mention music at large. Just not officially until he’s done with highschool.

His myspace icon depicting a computer–headed boy. The irony, the irony – dude’s music is so human you almost feel it reaching it out for you. 

Interview and mp3s after the break.
