Long-time Italian electronic music pioneer Alexander Robotnick returns with a new album, ‘Simple Music’, this winter. Across eight tracks, he distils a lifetime of influences into fresh, forward-thinking disco cuts that bring a whole new vitality to the scene.

The legendary Robotnick (a nickname Maurizio Dami assumed in the 80s) is a towering name in Florentine music and someone who very much defined the early disco scene thanks to a superb run of enduring club cuts, not least his seminal 'Problèmes D'amour'. Although he is now in his 70s, he is still kicking out essential jams. His music features plenty of the arpeggios that have always given his music its character, coming on labels like Permanent Vacation, Clone, Bordello a Parigi and Bosconi Records. Few artists understand analogue machines and dance floor mechanics like this man, as he proves once more with this, his eighth studio album.

The concept of ‘Simple Music’ is to craft tunes for any setting. It is about combining traditional music parts, chords, melodies and songs to make music that is varied and vibrant and constantly evolving. Says Alexander, "Riffs and grooves are not endless, and when you are my age, you may have heard them already. I am having more and more trouble finding interesting tracks for myself, so I felt the need to produce “simple” music that generates genuine feelings in a music scene that can be averse to risk."

Seductive disco-house opener 'Babel' is about the difficulties of understanding each other, even if we speak the same language and culture. The vocoder vocals take centre stage next to lush chords, then 'It Is So Easy' has a smug character in the vocal refrain and a sneering attitude in the verses that is playful and characterful next to the rugged and punchy drum grooves. The brilliant 'Why' is built on elastic electro-disco and muses on a lover’s inconsistency, while the space disco of 'Underpass' is a dark vision of a late-night walk that channels the original Robotnick sound of the early 80s.

The heartbroken robot lullaby 'Virtual Empathy' is about "the empathic feelings induced by mainstream TV to manipulate mass consensus", whilst 'I Want To Know' finds Robotnick describing his dreams and wondering about their meaning over funky bass twangs and serene disco sounds. Then comes the only instrumental 'Intro-Robo' with its multi-layered arpeggios and the magnificent title track, which captures the whole essence of the album with taught retro bass, icy hi-hats and stiff rhythms that will jerk any floor into action.

PREMIERE : Alexander Robotnick - It Is So Easy

Artist: Laars & Cosmic G
Title: Flotation Agent
Label: Haŵs
Cat No: HAWS020
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 

A1. Flotation Agent
A2. Irregular Minds
B1. Five Atoms
B2. Equilibrium

Haŵs are 20 deep. No longer in their shy teens, just a real life sonic entity with (almost) no adolescent trappings and the requisite fortitude and experience to really unleash upon the world. Having said that, they truly have released some amazing music since their inception and the world can’t wait for the next one, and the many ones and twos after that.

The duo Laars and Cosmic G have proudly given them their milestone #20. The Belgradian boys have cooked up a storming 12” 4-tracker assembled with a production style eloquent of distinct perspicacity.

‘Flotation Agent’ is an accelerated, acid-enveloped pumper, combining the nostalgic and contemporary with an effortless design. Next is ‘Irregular Minds’, a more pensive, stunted concoction, emboldened by the continued and ever present acid permeation. Not one, but ‘5 Atoms’ brings the meditative, techno-aligned pace back, whilst echoic arpeggios arrive and dissipate within the cosmic milieu. Finally we reach ‘Equilibrium’, bridging the gap between its forebears and encapsulating the EP as part of a dancefloor equation.

Drawn from the depths of the infinite mind, Laars and Cosmic G’s creation is the sum of all its parts. So remember, no running in the Haŵs…… but dancing is fine!
