Huuuuuge package of free tunes courtesty of forward looking German label Robox Neotech is up for grabs at their bandcamp. This is absolutely the MUST for any fan of intelligent contemporary beatz. For years Robox Neotech has been putting out quality mutant music, introducing to the masses great beatmakers like P-Fang, Cryptical, Demokracy or Planet Terror, releasing wicked tunes by NastyNasty, +verb, Stagga, Lakritze, Doshy, Powell or Monky. They were always generous with free gifts to their listeners and now collected all of them into one gigantic package. Highly recommended by Doktor Krank!
Robox Neotech has been a constant vendor of top-notch future robotic beats full of dark, deep and heavy artificial life. Here are a few latest releases worth checking. 2011 was great, guys. Keep up the good work in the year of final Armageddon!
P-Fang in his The Crypt EP offers Halloween experience like no other. I have been a fan of this mysterious producer hailing from SF since the first time I've heard his mixtape. I've been waiting for this release anxiously and I have not been disappointed a bit. This is the perfect music to enter the (apparantely) apocalyptic 2012. My personal highlights of this EP - Midnight, Devil and Graveyard2010 are full of totally unique, dark vibe which goes so well with my neurons and emotions. Hightly recommended by Doktor Krank! Grab this release on Beatport, Digital Tunes and at other digital retailers.
Then comes an old homie + Verb from US, the owner of supersexy lazer bass, in another winning Fragments EP for Robox Neotech. I've been his fan for years and as usual I'm totally impressed with the groovy, warm, bleepy heavens he creates on his machines doing his fantastic button work. Perfect music for home parties in any robot universe. The title track is a slowed-down, mutated robotic juke, a great tool for cerebral exercises in contemporary electronic music. The rest rides on a super solid hyper-bass and great synth improvisations with lots of action in the background plus great vocal samples. Impecabbly produced this is the music I hope hearing more and more in the future. Grab it exclusively on Beatportand elsewhere in a few weeks.
As a pre-Christmas gift Robox Neotech has recently released a nice package of 4 free downloads by the artists from their rooster. Ghetto Robots includes four juke ghetto-tech bombs by Damscray, Stagga, Doshy and + Verb. Smack a Blackbird boasts a fantastic melody line and Damscray becomes more and more The Juke Champion of 2011 in my ears :) It is a fu fu fuc fuck fu fuc fucking banger! I'd really like to smack a few heads with dat tjun! + Verb in Godzilla is again at the forefront of the music scene, applying his great skills quite successfully to a new Juke'ish territory. All his typical elements are there, but sped up and cut up a bit more than usual :) Good job man! Doshy's Shunt sounds quite ok, whereas the track by Stagga somehow did not convince me at all. Anyway, the package that cannot be missed!
Finally, next great release from Robox Neotech in which, Giallo meets Wij in the nasty collab project by Italian Planet Soap and a Russian whizz-kid Damscray. Planet Terror will terrorize your speakers and torment your soul with four merciless, stomping, heavy-bass booms. It's even hard to highlight one tune, this unholoy package should be consumed in full with all their smacking gory details. Highly recommended by Doktor Krank.
Gothic zombie bass has arrived from the US in the form of a scaarryyyy single Graveyard for mighty Robox Neotech by P-Fang hailing from SF. A morbid prelude to his EP coming soon on R/N. I've been waiting for this release anxiously for more than a year, after being totaly overwhelemed by the strange, dark and eerie sound of Midnight, Graveyard 2010 and Hall of Horrors mixtape.
Graveyard comes as a single including two versions of the title track and three cool remixes by Damscray (half of Demokracy), Low Limit (half of Lazer Sword) and Ghosts on Tape. Graveyeard 1985 is nice but cannot beat heavy basslines, sick bells and quirky vibe of 2010 version. This tune will seriously f..k with your brain! I thought one cannot improve the original, until I've heard juke's version by Damscray. Adding fast drums, but most of all - voice samples brought the game to yet another level of quirkiness and "Gimme the Graveyard, Gimme the Graveyard" will stuck in your head like burnt with branding iron. Definitely, NOT recommended for mentally unstable listeners. Low Limit, on the other hand, turned Graveyard into fantastic old-school acid space battle with lazers flying looooooooow. Dancefloor smasher for sure! Ghosts on Tape refixed another P-Fang's tune, Spiders. Most complex of the three remixes, continuously introducing new elements, transforming and changing, sounds like lo-fi, monochromatic patchwork of recycled sounds or live recording :) Strange and gripping. All in all another sick release from Robox Neotech presenting really unique and twisted music for your kinky pleasure. Highly recommended by Doktor Krank.
Great, experimental beats coming from ELOS, a new name on Alpha Pup roster. DunDeals comes from the forthcoming Flying Sky Fortress EP to be released on April, 26th. Definitely an artist to be watched in the future.
Robox Neotech dropped two freebies by our filthy friend NastyNasty who is about to release the monstrous EP on this German label. Sick as always, not to be missed! I am a big fan of Jasper and I simply knew his cooperation with Robox Neotech could not fail. Music for MechaBeatNicks!
Lazers, neon synths and more lazers in a fantastic remix by Broken Haze (part of Raid System crew) hailing from Tokyo. This music is soooooo uplifting, forcing your body to break dance instantly. This tune made my day!
Grab the original and Broken Haze's remix via bandcamp
Nasty shit is coming to terminal near you very soon (28 April on Addictech) Robox Neotech run by alien technology freaks from another galaxy will finally unveil their plan to terrorize and invade unsuspecting earthlings with brain-burning, balls-crushing heavy bass made by a guy who is at least twice as nasty as you or me. NastyNasty takes no hostages and shows no mercy to your ears. Listen to the preview of his monstrous EP and enjoy the last month of moderate calm on our beloved Gaia before this shit hits the fan :)
A few weeks ago, I already wrote a short review of the absolutely smashing new Double Star EP by Demokracy from Siberia (Russia). But, as the release drops today exclusively on Beatport. (8th of March in the rest of the virtuality), and I would really really like you to check this ultra contemporary music, hear me once more and check these beautiful and kinky beats and twisted synth extravaganza. Woth every penny!
The title track Double Star is the essence of Demokracy for me, showing their trademark, fluid and 'talking' synths and great rhytmic sections with analog drums and pads! And the melody! Well, they know how to tell 'stories' with their music, how to build full-fledged compositions or cut voice samples. The music you will never be bored with, eclectic, following its own path and what is equally important - with serious banger potential. When I listen to Demokracy in my car I nod and swerve my head like crazy ha ha. Double Star also features the mighty Searchlight which was in top-5 of my tracks in 2010, but this time with added great vocals by Didjelirium (whom you might remember from collaborations with Doshy). WOW! And I thought this tune could not have been better. There is also another, fat, dark and enchanting roller I heard before - Zeroth Law. I simply love these synths, smacking you across the ears with raw power, yet at the same time spreading strange warmth on your synapses. Fuck, I know I am starting to sound bombastic but this is how I respond and evaluate this type of music - on a visceral rather than cerebral level. Deadhead shows the most Skwee face of Demokracy with a totally amazing intro and siiiiiiiiiiick drops. I don't know what are their drinking or eating habits over there in Siberia, but I want the same. Pronto! Then, the artists take the listeners to the Zone full of 8-bit bleeps, crazy button improvisations, cut-up voice samples and drilling bass in a kind of broken beat frenzy. Voight Kampff is a pure mechanical beauty and the beast, lots of spacey synths and ultra heavy bass - the Daft Punk of the future. Awesome!
Double Star EP is the type of contemporary, mutant electronic music I wish to hear more in 2011. Don't sleep on Demokracy peeps. The new star is being born ... What is more, this will be followed by Double Star EP Remixes, incl. rmxes by Zet., Coco Bryce, Bass Science, Montgomery Clunk, Doshy, Stagga and more. Can't wait! .
Selection of beats par excellence from a German mutant bass producer Zet in a fantastic mix for SashiRadioBlog from Ukraine. Zet represents one of the most forward looking labels on Planet Earth, releasing new robotic music for humans, i.e. Robox Neotech. The set starts from a few ill tracks from Zet's Who is Hudson River EP and then proceeds to meticuously destroy the listeners with superb beats, heavy basslines and off-the-hook synths. For real, one of the great mixes I've heard in months! Good news is many of the tracks are forthcoming releases on Robox Neotech, featuring Demokracy, Damscray, Lakritze and Zet. CAN't WAIT. Plus my all-time-favorite technological roller - Humanoid by Eprom, great hyphy anthem - Slumper by Turf Talk or sick, twisted brap joint Jet Black by Lazer Sword. Absolutely top-notch selection and a must for any fan of contemporary, mutant, industrial, post hip-hop beats and heavy bass.
It's cold winter in the East of Russia. In Siberia, a far and away land where polar bears freely roam the streets of frozen industrial cities, two guys paint cold, cosmic, digital landscapes on their little machines. The name is Demokracy and they will soon release their first single off the forthcoming EP. Wintermute featuring remixes by Bass Science, Montgomery Clunk and Dies Irae drops on 21 Jan 2011 exclusively on Beatport and officially on 25 Feb 2011 all over the interweb, on one of the most forward-looking labels Robox Neotech. Wintermute is a nicely rolling, cold bastard of a track. It sounds as if created from samples taken out of a psychodelic 60's Sci-Fi movie taking place on some distant, frozen planet where life-giving rays of the nearest sun are just a fading memory. But there is hope, yeah there is still some hope left. Bass Science treated the original with heavy bass and seriously distorted bleeps and beeps mixing in very nice ravey build-ups. I really dig this tune. Monty Clunk brought the original into yet another level of clunkiness :) riding on silly beat and properly chopped voice samples (these voice samples sound like Burial on DMT). Monty Clunk's rechop makes me smile wide and imagine doing totally stupid things earning looks of disapproval from the strangers on the street : ) I have to play this tune to my kids to see their reaction :) The definite higlight of this release for me! Dies Irae remix (which you can grab for free below) transformed Wintermute into slowed down acid joint burning holes in your brain with mesmarizing subs and glitched basslines.
All in all great music to start off another amazing year :)
But, hey Wintermute single is just a teaser. Thanx God, good mechanics from Robox Neotech are already warming up their circuitry for the digital release of proper EP Double Star (release dates: 12 feb 2011 @ exclusive on beatport, 8 march 2011@ all ur mp3 dealers) featuring more cosmic shit from Demokracy. They even put up a preview on their soundcloud:
What is more, this will be followed by Double Star EP Remixes, incl. rmxes by Zet., Coco Bryce, Bass Science, Montgomery Clunk, Doshy, Stagga and more. Can't wait! .

DOKTOR KRANK'S RELEASE OF THE MONTH 10 out of 10***
Doshy - Scatter Remixes EP is a perfect, versatile and powerful release
10 out of 10*** in Doktor Krank's personal ranking!
Robox Neotech is THE LABEL OF THE FUTURE. Trust my werd! Music they serve is soooo refreshing, mind-boggling, full of this kinky, bleepy, twisted lazers and sick beats, dipped in hard to describe RAW, post-industrial spices. Future beats attacking the listener with full force, engaging all your senses and making your wetware circuitry go high high high with liquid, digital emotions. Just listen to the latest offering from Robox Neotech - Scatter Remixes EP. I liked the the original EP by Doshy a lot, but these remixes really made my jaw drop low low low.
Super talented beatmakers from across the world, some of whom I have covered recently on my blog - including Rudi Zygadlo, Pixelord, Lakritze, Democracy,Halp & Coco Bryce, Monky, P45, Zeno and Doshy himself plus the rest of the robot gang (new to me), delivered a bass-heavy, lazerized, neon-synth bomb glittering with bold, fantastic ideas built on a stomping, ass-twisting beatz.
There is not a single weak track on this release, but at least a few masterpieces like Sunset's remix by Democracy which was the love from the first hearing a few weeks ago, it has probably the best synths I've heard this year. For real - just listen to them - it's a work of art! I want moar Democracy :) Halp & Coco Bryce brought the title track Scatter to yet another level of electro frenzy. Oh boy, they know how to handle their gear. Rudi Zygadlo's improvisations and vocal samples in Space Attack are top-class. Curtamos refixed Chip into slow-burning sub-bass monster, while Pixelord treated the same track with even more 8-bit chipness and great, overwhelming synths. Tip! Monky in his spacey remix and Zeno in a more drilling, angry rework of Chip did equally good job. Lakritze in his Battleship remix glitched up and slowed down the Space Attack to the max creating a brutal soundtrack to your worst nightmares. VIP version of Space Attack is simply amazing and in the package you will also get a few Doshy's collaborative tracks with a duo of French producers Esia (who is singing on Side on Music and Take Me) and Didjelirium. All proper quality again.
Robot Neotech with this release catapulted itself very high on my personal list of best labals out there. These dudes share like 99,99% of music taste with me!
Robox Neotech were kind enough to drop a few high quality tunes from this EP to be posted on my blog for you to download and f***g destoy your neighbors with this sound of the future.
Preview the entire set below. The official release date is December, 7th 2010. You better start scraping monies - you know you'll want this release badly when the right time comes!
Watch out for new stuff coming from Robox Neotech labs -
