'My Favorite Robot welcomes back Rework as they prepare to kick off their 2021 schedule with three-track EP ‘Always Done’.

Rework is the alias of Daniel Varga, Michael Kuebler and recent joinee Elmar Mellert. Since making their debut in 2012, the duo has released albums and EPs on Playhouse Records, Visionquest and their exlove imprint, as well as of course My Favorite Robot. This April welcomes the arrival of three entrancing new cuts in the form of the ‘Always Done’ EP.

Sophisticated opener ‘Anything’ is a laid back house affair, cut with delicate spoken word vocals, sonic FX and an immersive bassline sequence to deliver a genuinely enchanting production. ‘Cracked Edit’ picks up the pace as tight percussion works against an arpeggiated bassline to great effect, before ‘Always Done’ rounds out proceedings smoothly via dubby chords, rumbling low-end and hypnotic melodies.'

Always Done EP

Premiere: Rework - Always Done [My Favorite Robot]

After a strong run of EPs in recent times, the bosses of the much loved Canadian label My
Favorite Robot return again to their own imprint with a strong follow-up release to their Glass To The End EP released earlier this year.

The accomplished trio of Jared Simms, James Teej and Voytek Korab has become synonymous with emotive, synth heavy tracks that are much more than functional club offerings. As well as releasing on their own label, they have dropped releases on the likes of Sasha's Last Night on Earth, No.19 Music, Visionquest, and Life & Death.

The Panoptikon EP, named after a type of institutional building designed by English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the late 18th century. The concept of the design is to allow a single watchman to observe inmates of an institution without the inmates being able to tell whether or not they are being watched. Although it is physically impossible for the single watchman to observe all cells at once, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched means that all inmates must act as though they are watched at all times, effectively controlling their own behaviour constantly. This EP plays deeply with this idea in typical robot fashion.

Stunning opener 'Cast' is an epic techno influenced house track, lush with shimmering synths and live drums creating tension, much in the spirit of 90's electronica. Breaking through like sun through cloud, though, are brightly glowing chords that really add a celestial air to proceedings, with powerful vocals sprinkled throughout deepening the story. It's a refreshingly original track that sounds like little else and is sure to make for some standout moments on the floor in the coming weeks.

Then comes 'Manifesto,' a playful mid tempo prowler with myriad synths squealing, glowing and spread through the arrangement. You are trapped right at the heart of it all as these spritely lines bring a real sense of life and colour to the track, as well as imbuing it with a sombre sense of futurism. At the center of the recording is a tongue in cheek vocal that intones "selling out is the new underground", bringing a true light heartedness to proceedings while balancing the darker elements. The track's apex delivers in true My Favorite Robot spirit, and solidly brings the whole trip back down to earth resulting in a truly unique experience.

This is a small but perfectly formed two track EP that once again showcases the trio's ability to make genuine, emotionally resonant electronic music sure to stand the test of time.

My Favorite Robot - Cast (Full Track)

Canadian powerhouse My Favorite Robot kicks off 2017 with a fine showcase of their many different musical styles and accomplished production talents. It comes in the form of a five track Winter Sampler that is packed with cultured club music from artists old and
new.

Kicking things off is HearThuG, a Tunisian DJ and producer who has released on Defected and Audiomatique and makes music with real hardware. His fantastic ‘Apotheose’ is a brain frying track with pixel thin synth lines, turbulent drums and an edgy and nervous sense of energy throughout. Next up, Italians Cristian Viviano and Caruan— a regular DJ and studio pair who played some big sets at Pacha Ibiza this summer— team up to great effect for ‘Paradise’, a deep and cerebral affair detailed with subtle synth patterns, progressive basslines and a real sense of late night serenity.

Then it is the turn of the label’s in-house production and DJ team to remix Rodion and Local Suicide’s ‘Abu Dhabi’. The duo’s fine take on the original is as singular as ever, as they flip the track into something slow and curious, prickly and paranoid with muffled voices, metallic, siren like synths and spraying laser beams. Brighton based veteran Antenna Happy then showcases his fusion of electronic styles with ‘Stars For Lunch.’ It is a deep tech tune awash with dazzling chords and keys and is filled with trippy colour that really takes you to the edges of our galaxy. Last of all, Sid Le Rock, the Canadian producer who put out his last album on this label, then serves up the sleazy, guitar laced ‘First Kiss.’ Zoned out and dreamy, it is a wonderfully rueful closing groove.

This is a vital package that packs five very different but equally lasting punches across all of these well crafted tracks.

My Favorite Robot - Want Some (Original Mix)

The MFR vision is simple. Ignore the norm and

broaden the definition of electronic music in order to

deliver it to as many music lovers as possible.

My Favorite Robot is the duo of Jared Simms, and

Voytek Korab, two Canadian DJ/producers who in a

space of a few short years have become a central part

of the global electronic music scene.

Simms &amp; Korab originally formed the My Favorite

Robot act in Montreal back in 2002 and the label in

2008, shortly after Jared’s move to Toronto from

Montreal. At the same time, the duo hooked up with

the No19 Music crew and a new chapter in Canadian

music history was born. Whilst their good friends at

No.19 went on to form the massively successful Art

Department, the boys at MFR worked alongside them

building their own label into a global beacon for

quality electronic music.

My Favorite Robot Records has received huge

critical acclaim and has released music from the likes

of Tim Paris, Jori Hulkkonen, Chloe, H.O.S.H,

Kenny Glasgow, Fairmont, Timo Mass, Adriatique

and Tim Green to name but a few.

They have released on such leading labels as

Visionquest, Life &amp; Death, Crosstown Rebels, and

Sasha’s Last Night On Earth label and in 2013 they

released their critically acclaimed “Atomic Age”

album on No.19. They have played some of the

world’s best clubs and festivals including Circoloco

at DC-10, Rex in Paris, BPM in Mexico and

Uberhaus in Beirut and continue to be on the cutting

edge of electronic music worldwide.
