Robot Koch - 101 [PLANET010]

Tracklist:

1. 101 (6:02)
2. Day Like This (3:14)

Details:

Berlin-based producer Robot Koch is a busy man. Between producing and touring with electronic mash-up trio Jahcoozi, the man-machine recently launched his own label, Robots Don't Sleep, with the release of Aftershocks, a collaboration with Japan-based musician Cerebral Vortex.

Robot Koch's productions have been released on a variety of labels including Ninja Tune, Up My Alley, Kitty-Yo and Sugarcane. These two tracks are a welcome injection of hip hop that Planet Terror has been begging for since day one.

Hi Joe,

My missus (who also read that night) lives in Sheff so I’m up there a fair bit. If I’m in town or gigging in the area I’d happily shimmy across and do a short set.

Loving the stuff on your player.
Neal Zetter - Comedy Poet





Mar 17 2009 9:30 AM

ok - cheers for the kind words. Well good luck and do check out many of the young splendid poets on my top friends: Penny, Tom, Nick, Jess, Kelly, Captain, Alex, Vic (old git like me).
Like your style, your voice and rhythm are very much like Maxi Jazz from Faithless - and that can't be bad can it? Best, N

[PLANET007] B1t Crunch3r, Adapt & Phonetic System - The Travelogue EP

Tracklist:

1. B1t Crunch3r & Adapt - House of Ophiuchus
2. B1t Crunch3r & Phonetic System - Replicators
3. B1t Crunch3r & Adapt - Foresight VIP
4. B1t Crunch3r - Night Creatures

Details:

The Travelogue EP was assembled by Hollywood producer B1t Crunch3r, who has had releases on Take 5 Music and Substruk Recordings. Featuring two collaborations, a VIP and a solo effort, the EP is a net project between B1t Crunch3r (California, USA), Adapt (North Carolina, USA) and Phonetic System (Sydney, Australia).

Comparisons to Scuba and Quantum Soul seem pretty appropriate here, especially for opener 'House of Ophiuchus', a track that hinges on a lilting sitar line and heavy bass. Meanwhile, the atmospheric 'Night Creatures' lies at the other end of this EP's wide spectrum. Expect more from these producers.

[PLANET003] Culprate - CaliginousBastille

Culprate brings some welcome heaviness to the Planet Terror imprint with some genre-defying crossover dubs. Dubstep and breakcore meet in a dark alley late at night, and although it's not clear who wins, the carnage that ensues is well worth sticking around for. From the atmospheric 'Donkey' to the weird cuts of 'Slipper', this is an EP packed with variety and strange contrast that should bring in fans of many different genres. A skilled DJ and original producer, we're happy to have Culprate on board.

Expect more from this man in the New Year.

1. Culprate - Egyptian Dub (4:39)
2. Culprate & Slick & Polygon - Donkey (5:42)
3. Culprate - Toddler's Nightmare (6:03)
4. Culprate - Slipper (5:53)
5. Culprate - Hallowed Point (5:27)
