Archivio di marzo, 2012

5th episode of Robotnick’s Archives’ series.
“Funky Skunky” is a track originally composed in 1996
but completely re-made a few monthes ago. . The original track, made
with MIDI system and virtual synths, was based on a vocal sample taken
from one of the first vynil collections of acappella voices but it sounded
weak and not convincing enough. Therefore it was abandoned and slept
on a forgotten CD-Rom for about 16 years. Robotnick, using analog
synths and triggers, brings it back to life with the energy it deserves. 122 bpm
“Infinite Solitude” is a track that was originally composed
in 2001 for “Oh no ..Robotnick” but then discarded because deemed
to sound too melancholic. In this case too, the recent analog re-writing
gives the track a vintage flavour and rightly puts it back into the
authour’s original music process. 128 bpm
“It was like a dream” is more recent, dating back to 2008
but it sounds as if it came out of one of Robotnick’s early 80s tapes,
when the author insisted in working out sounds and atmospheres
that would distinguish his style from the music produced in those
days. 124 bpm Finally there are 2 remixes of “Can you hear me?” , a
track released in Archives 2 , signed by young producers from the
“New Disco” scene : “Things happen” and “The Robot Scientists”
present the continuity of a sound that comes from far away but is still
capable of attracting and involving the new generations.
THINGS HAPPEN
The 21th century’s freshest trip into the wild world of
electronic music, from magnetic disco to tech-house.
Reporting from the borderline, a new fragrant way of

This all-italian trio put together their personal musical
experience into unique and special atmospheres
mixing bright synthetic sounds and deep basses with pure
instrumental parts.
