Young Robots Presents: Philadelphia Maneto

YR020.

Tracklist:

Robert Lux & Todd Edwards - I've Still Got Sunshine
Robert Lux & Todd Edwards - I've Still Got Sunshine (Michael The Lion Remix)
Robert Lux & Todd Edwards - I've Still Got Sunshine (Pat Lok Remix)
Robert Lux & Todd Edwards - I've Still Got Sunshine (Pittsburgh Track Authority Remix)

Several years ago, house music pioneer Todd Edwards sought out Robert Lux at a Hobokenrock show after hearing Lux's band on the internet. The two have become fast friends and truly synergistic collaborators.  I've Still Got Sunshine is the first joint release between New York producer Lux and New Jersey house luminary (and Daft Punk collaborator) Edwards.

Now, Young Robots releases an EP with three adventurous remixes from three of underground dance music's major up-and-comers - Pat Lok, Pittsburgh Track Authority and Michael The Lion (aka DJ Apt One). The title track originally appeared on Young Robots' YR018, the "Philadelphia Maneto" compilation of thePhiladelphia andNew Jersey underground dance acts.

I've Still Got Sunshine sounds as cheerful as its title suggests - with bouncy synths and Edwards' trademark vocal chopping style.  Philadelphia's Michael The Lion takes a balearic direction - playing chunking acoustic guitar and funky bass that adds even more "sunshine." Vancouver's Pat Lok comes forward with an organ-laced, Disclosure-esque shuffling house bomb.  Lastly, Pittsburgh Track Authority's remix brings a deep, propulsive analog groove that set off their recent guest spot at Berlin's Berghain.

Artist statement:

"“We build machines to protect us from the brutality of nature. But we cannot [protect ourselves]. The circuits that allow us expression in ways undreamt endow us with the capacity to annihilate. Beware your own hubris. Beware the immensity and power of the natural world – it cannot be conquered, only leased. To find peace, one must use technology for spiritual elevation. We believe music is an example of such a use.”

Jay Fay is 18 years old and has already rocked shows with Drake, Steve Aoki, Wale and Hood Internet, to name just a few. The St. Louis producer / dj / percussionist has many styles, from House and Kuduro to Dancehall and Hip-Hop. Bonkers is his debut EP, showcasing the genre he's become best known for, Moombahton. Not regular slowed-down, mashed-up edits, but fully evolved original anthems with insane laser synths, dubstep growls and wobbles, electro bass and percussive trickery. Did we mention huge build ups? Got those too! Support from Dillon Francis, Toddla T, Crookers, Munchi, Congorock, Tittsworth? Yes! 

Bonkers is dropping February 14 on Young Robots.

DWWG / Bird Peterson - When We Shake Hands 2001

Fashen has been one of the top club DJs in the US for at least the last ten years, and "So Complete" was his first release of original music.  Fashen is an absolute genius on the turntables, an incredible performer, and his energy and knowledge translated perfectly in this three song EP.

Now Fashen is back with an EP of remixes by Thee Mike B, Bang Noyes, Sammy Bananas and Solidisco.  It's a complete package of disco house, tech house, filter house, filter disco, balearic disco, throwback house, and house house!

Fashen - Ecstacy (Solidisco remix)

Fashen - The Talk (Thee Mike B's Taurus Edit)

DJ Apt One is known as one who is and has been on the forefront of many important movements in dance music over the last ten years.  He was a part of the multi-genre style of DJing that catapulted his adopted Philadelphia to the pinnacle of the DJ world in the early 2000s.  As a part of the duo RCMP, his work foreshadowed the emergence of Nu-Disco before the genre even had a name.  He is an internationally renowned edit-maker, appearing on compilations alongside the likes of Todd Terje.  Now, he is one of the OGs of "Moombahton" -  the polyglot global EDM movement that saw DJ Apt One find fame on the BBC, NPR and elsewhere along with pioneers Dave Nada, DJ Sabo, Dillon Francis and more.

He is also a founder of Young Robots Records.

This EP is the first fully instrumentated Moombahton record - with live bass, drums, horns and guitar to go with stylized latin house drum programming.  The title track, originally from DJ Sabo's Moombahton Massive 3 EP on Sol Selectas, was one of the  hits in the first wave of Moombahton.  DJ Apt One adds a b-side called "Red Meat" that came as a byproduct of his work with Gregor Salto's Downpitch label.

DJ Apt One provides remixes of both of his tracks, and lil'dave of Philly's legendary Illvibe Collective provides a Latin House grooved remix that reminds people why Illvibe are Philly's formost funk ambassadors.  DC's Vjuan Allure, one of the rising stars of the Ballroom sound (see: Mike Q) provides a jackin remix as well.
