From the "Rude Mechanicals EP".
Futuristic riddims sent back through a wormhole by a band of post-apocalyptic reggae loving robots. 
Created with that concept and the motto Strictly Lo-Fi for your Hi-Fi in mind, Robot Riddims’ official debut Rude Mechanicals combines the sound of chiptune, a love of 1980s dancehall and a trusty circuit-bent 1988 Kawai drum machine into a four track sure shot.
The EP kicks off with the future/past dancehall sound and disembodied android deejaying of “RoboRockers”, before continuing with a nod to more recent JA beats with the crunchy drums and cheerfully skittering 8 bit arps of “Skynet Party”.
Next up the noisy, anarchic “True Grit” pushes the bit crushed lo-fi sound to the extreme to create a truly brutal groove, before the release is rounded off with the dubbed out and stripped down “RoboDubbers” version of the EP’s first track.
And remember: Resistance is Futile.

The latest release from Robot Riddims brings you an extra special double helping of lofi bass music. A-side "¡Ay Z0mb0t" is a reggae tinged roller, riding a bassline generated by the General instruments AY-3 chip - last heard providing the beats on the ZX Spectrum. 

B-side "Headcharge" is a more uptempo affair, featuring some seriously screwy vocal malfunctions from a nintendo gameboy backed up by brain scorching arps and crunchy 8 bit noise. 

Available from Nov 2nd from all the usual places...

in retrospect, this quick jam, consisting of some 808 drum hits and a bunch of samples taken from a Casio PT series keyboard I bought in a thrift store was kinda the starting point of the whole "recycling old tech" Robot Riddims thing. 

Anyway, I just found it lying about, so here it is for completeness!

The title track from the Robosoca EP is built around a soca influenced beat, big bad bass and some screaming arps from a pair of YM2149 chips, as featured in a host of 1980s arcade games and home computers. Future dancehall from the ghosts of computers past!

Like the comic superhero Swamp Thing, this riddim was built on a solid foundation of bitcrushed bass and the power of a circuit bent Kawai R50 drum machine - already famed for its industrial sound. I’ll level with you: I’ve never read the Swamp Thing comics.

"Ai Weilai" was originally created as part of a production challenge focused on what the music of our future might sound like in 2030. The title means "Love the Future" in Mandarin and was used as a soundalike substitution by supporters of artist Ai Weiwei when his name was censored on social network Weibo.

This will the be first single in a forthcoming series of "Data Packet" releases.

thanks for listening, Robot Riddims
