With the EP set to drop on February 24, we have the premiere of the amazing title-track and you can finally listen to it in its full glory. 'With Love & Voodoo' is mechanical, cosmic and features some stunning, sweeping synths.

A1 - Tim Paris - Rain Feat. Coco Solid (Radio Edit) - My Favorite Robot Records - M

After Theremynt's LP Space Control - a journey into electronic music offered by Jan Richard & Eva Peel, the trip goes on with this new Ep talking about Human and Robot love, one of Theremynt's favourite theme (Rachel Rosen- on the first album was inspired from Philip K.Dick "Do Androids dream of electric sheep aka Blade Runner).

After using English, and Italian, the duet has decided to come back to French to write an electronic pop song in their mother tongue. Tribute to 80's French pop - bands such as Elli & Jacno --this track is definitely what we call 'refrain' or 'ritornello', one of these little melodies supposed to be hummed in the bus or while walking in the streets. 

Three remixers have given their own re-interpretation of the track, a trippy and Kraftwerkian version by Duet Acid-Washed, an efficient clubby track by young producer Dombrance and a cinematic Chicagoan-house infuenced version by Mike Theis from Gyrls.
This ep is both for domestic use and dancefloor with a taste of sexy frenchness. Enjoy!

For his new EP, ‘Undercover', Items & Things co-founder Marc Houle jumps in his time machine and heads back in time. Destination Chicago, 1987, and a face to face with Master C&J exploring the mysterious power of plunging basslines and moody synths. On remix duties Berlin based Miro Pajic sneaks in charting a decidedly bleepier course while Bruno Pronsato delivers his signature 'romantic techno' sound.

There’s no way back and Marc launches the fist bars of ‘Undercover’ with just a bouncy kick and a vintage ‘house’ bassline. With reverb in full effect the drums and hi-hats find their own space and time. Then, if the synths that roll in aren’t mysterious enough for you, the pillow talk vocals will be. The end of each line, spoken with a certain sense of agitation, is covered by chords that ride, all night long. The revelation is for your imagination but you might not want to be ‘Under Covers’ with this guy.

Next up, Miro takes the dirty sheets and chucks them in the washing machine for a good old fashioned rinse and spin. This mix creeps along all bubbles, pops, tick tocks and rim shots. Snare rolls glide in and out of time only to snap back for a sub-bass drop or a little heavy breathing. What more can you ask for?

Bruno’s ‘Electric Blanket Dub’ warms things up quite nicely with its intricate, heady take on the original. Bringing a subtle balance to the three mixes with vaguely organic tones, natural rhythms and spontaneous drum fills, Mr. Pronsato comes through in full on a cold Berlin night. 
The final track, ‘Triple E’, is an underground goodie brandishing a relentless kick and enough swing to make Chancellor Merkel do the Jitterbug. Combine sharp snares, a muted bass warble and nonsensical vocal snips panning from side to side and you have the perfect late night jack track or pump priming party starter.

True to the ‘no rules’ vision laid out by Marc, Magda and Troy, this new edition of ‘Items & Things’ is weird and wonderful with more bounce to the ounce.

Scott Fraser 'A Life of Silence' (Timothy J. Fairplays' Fall of Shame Remix)

J.M.F., wer? Jacob Korn, Good Guy Mikesh und Filburt stecken hinter der Abkürzung. Und ihre Kollaboration kommt auf einem Label heraus, das für alle beteiligten wichtig war.

2009 war es das Münchner Label Permanent Vacation, das »Someone Told Me« von Good Guy Mikesh &amp; Filburt veröffentlichte. Im Nachhinein wahrscheinlich der Ausgangspunkt für das was dann für die beiden folgen sollte. Und auch den Dresdner Jacob Korn hatte Permenant Vacation früh im Blick und holte ihn auf verschiedene Compilations. Im letzten Jahr trafen sich alle drei im Studio von Jacob Korn. Dass die beiden Tracks aus der Session nun bei Permanent Vacation herauskommen, könnte also kaum passender sein.

Nicht selten mutieren solche Zusammenspiele zu Materialschlachten. »Philipp Dolphia« ist aber frei davon. Ein unaufgeregtes House-Stück mit kurz durchlaufenden Flötenparts und Streichern im Hintergrund. Filburts Stimme ist weit runtergepitcht und auf eine Silbe reduziert. Eine für Korn typische trockene Bassdrum hier, eine Mikesh-Filburt-Bassline da – fein verzahnte Charaktere.

»At The Ranch«, das zweite Stück, ist vom Tempo her und den elegisch schwirrenden Snythies und Pianos schon etwas stärker dem Sound der beiden Leipziger zuzuschreiben. Auch wenn es hier keinerlei Versus-Gedanken auszuloten gilt. Sicherlich sind die Stücke aus Skizzen entstanden, die dann jeder bei sich weiter ausformuliert hat.

Phillip Lauer nimmt »At The Ranch« mehr auf die Disco-Spur mit seinem Remix. Analoger klingend als Original. Aber mit einer ähnlichen Verspultheit.

Turbo kicks it poolside with this collection, wading further than ever into the trendy waters of lifestyle deep-house.

The Miami Winter Music Conference is one of the most important events on the sub-cultural calendar, an occasion for shameless biz-mingling and literally infectious pool-partying. In celebration of this celebration of celebration, Turbo casts off all northern repression with a sampler of bottom-optional deep house cuts from a cast of roster artists, friends, and respected outsiders. 

Everyone from veteran veterans Tiga & Jori Hulkkonen to rising stars like Duke Dumont and Locked Groove to newcomers Iron Galaxy & Sexlife have been crammed into the figurative jacuzzi of sun-scarved lifestyle excess, showcasing the label's conflicted commitment to the sounds that fuel the world's most objectionable rich creeps.

Turbo is sort of proud to join Will Smith in welcoming you to Miami as we succumb to the land of vice and sound machines. May God have mercy on our souls and soulful house grooves.

TOE CUTTER THUMB BUSTER

This is the second idea I worked on with Kathrin deBoer for the Conditions Two EP, and an attempt to make something surreal. I tried to use her voice as an instrument in the track, rather than presenting it as a normal vocal at the forefront of the mix. I used lots of Max for Live fiddling’s to mangle up her vocals into all sorts of weird noises, and then picked out some of my favourites to use in the track. Most of the noises that aren’t the drums and main synths, so pretty much all the weird noises in the track, are made from Kathrin’s voice.



The overall feeling was something soft and organic, where in addition to the unpredictability and non-loopy manner of the vocal effects, the drums also follow a loose and slightly randomised pattern, with lots of shuffle to add to the free feeling. I thought the approach made it end up sounding a bit maddening and messy, and there was also a strong feeling of space in there with the main pads, so this combined with the surrealist approach lead me to the name ‘Falling Into Recursive Space’.

Max Cooper Feat. Kathrin deBoer - Falling Into Recursive Space (clip)

This sampler features three brand new and exclusive tracks as taken from the forthcoming
Crossing Wires 001 - Compiled and Mixed by My Favorite Robot which is due out June 10th. It
features disco talent The Revenge, techno veteran Timo Mass and Robot member James Teej and
offers a snapshot of the sounds this label has dealt in across more than 75 releases to date.
The first track from The Revenge might not be what you expect – instead of dazzling disco ‘Maia’ is
a slice of kinetic pulsating house that ebbs and flows beautifully. Of course there is some devilish
synth work buried between the beats to add some all important colour, too, and a restrained sense
of epic-ness is never far away.
Next up is electronic legend Timo Maas with ‘Dancing For My Pleasure’, a bulbous techno track
with quirky synth hooks and plenty of tension buried deep within. Sounding like a spaceship circling
a desolate cityscape, the sounds full submerge you in a world far away from here.
Finally, famed vocalist and one third of My Favorite Robot, James Teej decides to slow things down
in his ‘I Like To Clip’ track that swaggers back and forth in a lonely landscape with only icy melodic
winkles and rising and falling keys for company. It’s unnerving but inviting, alien yet familiar, and
combines the man’s usual strained vocal style with plenty of musical mystery.
Keep an eye out for the full mix will be available from June 10th 2013.

Batongo - Aguirre (Mano Le Tough remix)

Hypnotischer Tiefgang kann auch hell und freundlich sein, wie Marcus Sur einmal mehr unter Beweis stellt. Die melodiöse Eingängigkeit seiner Produktionen schwingt irgendwo zwischen Deep House und Dub Techno, wobei er das Beste aus beiden Welten mit organischer Eleganz verwebt und mit seiner ganz eigenen Note versieht. 
Da ist das stimulierende Pochen und entrückte Klingeln von The World In Small Doses. Da ist die hintergründige Dramatik und perfide Vielschichtigkeit von Masquerade. Da ist die verträumte Stimme von Ann Jasmund, die sich über den warmen Wogen eines wabernderen Klangteppichs ausbreitet. Und da ist der verspielte Basslauf von Magnetic Ribbons, dessen schwerelose Synthesizer- und Piano-Zitate Mollono.Bass zwischen die perkussiven Rhythmen seines wundersamen Frequenz-Universums entführt. Das dubbig glitzernde Original gibt es als Zugabe für die Digital-Version. Leicht verdaulich und doch sehr gehaltvoll – wie gute Musik für den Sommer sein sollte!


It can be bright and friendly even down in the depths of hypnotism, as proven once again by Marcus Sur. The melodic catchiness of his productions vibrates somewhere between Deep House and Dub Techno, taking the best of both worlds to yet another level. There is a very warm and organic feeling to this music that dominates the prevailing mood of all the tracks. The minimal but heady tune of The World In Small Doses rings and throbs from a multitude of acoustic dimensions. The Masquerade is full of subliminal drama and perfidious complexity. Whereas The Lessons are dominated by the dreamy voice of singer Ann Jasmund that expands over a heaving patchwork of warm harmony. Some of the weightless piano and synthesizer chords from Magnetic Ribbons got stuck between the percussive rhythms of Mollono.Bass and are taken away to his wondrous universe of sound. The original version with its playful bass line is included as a bonus on the digital version. Easily digestible yet very powerful and stimulating – just like good music for the summer should be!

Acker039 - Marcus Sur - The World In Small Doses - Zachow-EP snippet

Juho Paalosmaa and Jori Hulkkonen are Sin Cos Tan, “a synthesized duo of great promise, broken dreams, and long nights” who released their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album in November 2012 to a great reception. During the summer the band will be finishing their follow-up album planned for release later in 2013, but in the meantime My Favorite Robot enlist some big time remixers to tackle the duo’s back catalogue, with Mark E and Kris Wadsworth those given the nod.
 
‘Not Over’ is the first track to get a treatment from slo-disco specialist and Ghostly associate Mark E (it also comes in a dub version). He breaks the track down to crunchy claps and a slowly stepping, thick synth bass line that percolates up through the track over and over. The airy vocals remain in tact from the original as nebulous melody lines and sultry saxophones float around in cosmic harmony. 
 
It’s then the turn of Berlin based Atlanta born bad boy Kris Wadsworth to re-interpret ‘History’, and he does so with his usual panache. The lines are all skewed, the textures raw and unpolished and the mood edgy as crackles of hiss and static pollute the airwaves whilst heavy, lumped drums kick below. Things grow increasingly lively with the dancing synthesized melodies that appear part way in to the track and also release some tension. The vocal takes on a more haunted characteristic in Wadsworth’s hands 
 
Finally, we’re also treated to an Extended Dance mix of the militant tech house stomper that is ‘Trust’ with its loose percussion, taught bassline grumbles and celestial, skyward melodies. The breakdown is shrouded in echo and as a result the vocal drifts on air before the track kicks again in a macho nu disc style akin to the sort of thing Andrew Weatherall might employ. 
 
Some fine A&R here has breathed plenty of new life into some already classic tracks by Sin Cos Tan.

Tekel & Tim Paris "The Fork" (Marketing 2008)

It’s not easy ploughing a furrow that ain’t already been ploughed in dance music, but Tim Paris makes it look easy. Nestling somewhere between the sideways slant of a sepia Sunday morning and the electrostatic seduction of a Saturday night, Tim has carved out a cultural niche that is his, and his alone. His original productions range from the jaw-droppingly original (It’s a Fine Line – Woman), to the heartbreakingly sublime (Tim Paris – Outback, Stones & Vinyl), and his remixes (the XX; Silicone Soul; Salif Keita; Telepop Musik) reflect his unique musical position.  Tim’s label, Marketing Music, has quietly gone about releasing some of the most innovative and gloriously confounding electronic house music of the past decade, and his collaboration with ex Black Strobe bohemian Ivan Smagghe, It’s a Fine Line, has borne fruit, after juicy fruit. Dancers, his first full-length release, was signed by Canadian label My Favorite Robot and is an astonishing piece of work. Switching effortlessly from metallic electro purring, to slack-jawed new-wave disco, to shimmering, bewitching, house, it marks a new high point in a career rammed full of them.
