Cult Italo-disco godfather Alexander Robotnick
returns with a new collection of cuts. "My
La(te)st Album" will be released on May.
Robotnick has had a long and colorful history,
including scoring films in the eighties and
joining a world music troupe in the nineties, but
he's most celebrated for his pioneering
Italo-disco tracks from the golden era of the
genre (anyone remember "Problemes d'Amour"?) Then
an unusual thing happened: A younger generation of
musicians revived Italo in the early 2000s,
artists such Bangkok Impact, Carl Craig and Miss
Kittin paid tribute to Robotnick in their mixes,
and the result was that in 2001, Robotnick had a
change of heart, putting aside ambient and world
music to return to electro. First out of the block
was the artist album "Oh noRobotnick" and the mix
compilation "The Disco Tech of...Alexander
Robotnick" [2005], the success of which encouraged
Robotnick to embark upon a rather belated new
career as a DJ/live act. But it wasn't quite a
return to the old school: After years of hating
vinyl, Robotnick bought a laptop and got back into
the club act with Ableton Live and a live show
that's been popular at nights throughout Europe,
America and Japan.
Robotnick's latest album is born out of experience
of this new DJ career, promising to fuse dark
atmospheres ("Disco Sick"), acid ("I'm Getting
Lost in My Brain"), techno ("Acid Magma", "In a
positive mood") and electro-disco ("Addio Addio").
All of the tracks were recorded using the original
analogue eighties equipment and drum machines such
as the Roland SH101 and TB303, Korg Mono-Poly,
TR808 and TR909 and Prophet 5.
