Hot Bots In The City
Submitted by dr™ on July 15, 2008 - 11:47am.Seems like the summer heat has rendered the 'bots at RobotSound HQ lethargic as of late. It's evident that they'd rather sit around watching bad Reality TV programming and getting their snack on than producing anything in terms of meaningful content for y'all. Nevertheless I've managed to coax them into uploading my set recorded live at the recent Hot Box Summer Solstice event. A potent synthesis of love and war, this mix attempts to address the uncertainty of the times in which we live by incorporating both the chaos of today with (hopefully) the promise of a brighter tomorrow.

Franz & Shape are coming to wipe your synapses of mundane and predictable sonic sequences. Embracing the principles of our retro musical forebearers, they aim to deliver bona fide alternative dance music fused with up-to-the-minute synthetic sensibilities. Their sound though isn't one of yesterday's future; it is the past reflected through the present. Sometimes you really do need to look back in order to contemplate the here and now or determine just where it is you want to go.
Acquire Franz and Shape's retro-futuristic instant classic Acceleration at the Relish Recordings website. Including collaborations with some of today's most forward-thinking dark matter visionaries [Perspects, Matt Sims, G.D. Luxxe, David Carretta, Chelonis Jones, Dirk da Davo of The Neon Judgement], this album brings some much-needed dynamism to the current morass of homogeneity.
