Having released Jori Hulkkonen’s latest and greatest album, Oh But I Am (as well as
the one before that!), Canadian label My Favorite Robot Records now proudly
present five fine remixes of ‘Black Books,’ a track taken from the LP.
In original form the track is a slow and wintry electronic crawler with radiant synths
adding some real heat to the glassy, icy tinkles. Triumphant trumpets add an air of
musical majesty and it’s a great set ender that will leave people on a clean and crisp
musical high. First to remix is the accomplished Finn himself, and he turns out a
great dub that has sonorous bass and big rubber kicks driving along the elegantly
atmospheric synths up top.
Next comes former Art Department man and long time Toronto techno star Kenny
Glasgow. Here he keeps things slow and blissed out, with percolating drums and
starry synths that are superbly spine tingling and spaced out. My Favorite Robot’s
eponymous in house production team then get in on the action and come up with
some seriously heavyweight techno drums and high intensity synth lines that are sure
to blow any dance floor wide open whenever they get dropped.
Next, Doc L Junior (a.k.a. Lunchbox) is a Norwegian DJ and producer from labels like
Sex Tags Mania and Music For Freaks and his Robo Dub is a charming slow churner
with cosmic arps, arresting sounds and sci fi vibes in its deep disco bones. Finally,
No.19 mainstay Nitin teams up with Butr for a final great remix that is littered with
loose, dusty drum & bass breaks and liquid, golden pads that take you back to a 90s
jungle hey day in blissful fashion.
This is a diverse and deliciously on point remix EP that offers plenty for everyone.

Get ready for a growling tech-house-shuffle as Andreas Schreck, AKA Agent! asks just one question with his latest EP: Can U Dig It. Marking his debut on Get Physical Music, ‘Can U Dig It’ is a four track tech-house EP with a hustled vibe and a deep sense of groove. First up is the title track, with its low-end bobbing and bouncing around under a relentless fresh percussion. A great example of a steamy tech-house burner. Agent! continues with the same intentions, lifting us with the percussion and holding us with the music in ‘Southside Berlin’. The Dub mix included emphasizes and strengthens this, boosting the energy and increasing the focus on the groove. The final piece, ‘Can’t Stop’, lowers the lights and darkens the mood, creating a beautifully rhythmic atmosphere. Elegantly simple and easy to follow, yet ripe for super late sessions and the handful of dancefloor-veterans still pushing on.
