IND 003 is the 2nd Vinyl release on INDUSTRIA. Robi Insinna’s new project
label. Industria is not just about music, but also products, art and more.
The Vinyl is limited Edition of 200 Records. 190 are w/ transparent plastic cover
and hand Numbered. 10 Copies will be part of INDUSTRIA LIMITED Show
happening in September and will feature Screen prints on the plastic Cover.
This record one can say was planned a while back when Robi had a DJ gig together with Vox Low. The next day while meeting in the lobby for a late coffee and a croissant in a quiet Bordeaux Hotel, the idea came for a swap Remix on Vinyl.
When Robi started Industria, he still had in mind that the second Vinyl release could be that swap. Guess both Artist coming from a similar background and working in a similar analog organic style liked the idea and knew what they would get sound wise would be something both have plenty to play with.
On the A side Vox Low remixed Robi’s HARD WORK, which was already released
in 2018 including a remix by Die Wilde Jagd. Vox Low turned the track into a dark more dancefloor orientated version. Still with the trademark Vox Low sounds and Guitars.
On the B side Robi remixed You Are A Slave. He liked all the sounds so much that he thought it is better to keep as much from the original as possible, still trying to make it his own version. He added percussion to create a more funky/dark sound and extended the track. The dub was done in an old school kind of way. All the parts where laid out on a mixer and assigned to various tape delays and reverbs and would be dubbed real time, in the school of Mad Professor or Lee Perry. Not an easy approach and it needed several takes till it started making sense. All mistakes and organic things where important to this Dub.
Robi will be hosting an INDUSTRIA Limited exhibition later in the year, which will
show the direction the label is going.

Side B1: Vox Low - You Are A Slave (Robi Insinna Remix)

From top to bottom, tall windows covered the staggering high rise in the centre of the city. As the sun set on another day, the orange and pink hues reflected on the building, painting it in dreamy pastel shades. Inside the clock hands pointed to 5pm: closing time. In their throngs, men and women dressed in uniform exited the building in single file. Not a hair out of place, not a crease to be seen, their moves synchronised. Every day the routine was the same, nothing ever changed. They were slaves to a system, to a corporate entity that had juristiction over their every move. 

IND 003 marks the second vinyl release on INDUSTRIA, the new project label of Robi Insinna AKA Headman. The result of a meeting with French band Vox Low after playing together in Bordeaux, the swap remix record will be available on a limited press of 200 records, 190 of which will be hand stamped and numbered. INDUSTRIA is Robi Insinna’s multi-disciplined art project combining different forms of artistic expression across music, artwork, fashion, video and products.

PREMIERE: Vox Low – You Are A Slave (Robi Insinna Dub) [INDUSTRIA]

Robi Insinna is a Producer, DJ, Visual Artist and INDUSTRIA and RELISH owner.

Back in 2001 he founded the seminal Relish label in direct response to a then-dominant sound in club music. Its catalogue is as vast as it is varied and foreshadowing the music he'd go on to make himself under Headman/Manhead. Some highlights are IT ROUGH, Birth School Work Death, in the early years for the newer period tracks such as Be Loved, Dechainee. He also was busy remixing the likes of Roxy Music, The Gossip, Franz Ferdinand, The Units, Unknown Cases, Gina X and many more.
Relish has also been busy releasing international talents and remixes such as Daniel Avery, Red Axes, Borusiade, Manfredas.


Fast forward to 2018 he's on the move again launching new Project label, Industria with - not quite an album, not quite an EP - Hard Work. The debut was released under Robi's own name.
Industria will be focused more on vinyl releases, but not solely vinyl. The project will encompass all areas of Robi's work and ties together elements of his art and visual design projects and products.
