FRESH SOUND

FREE THE ROBOTS

Now on digital, the debut release from the eclectic Cali producer Free The Robots. If you are not familiar, he produces in the kitchen sink style, balancing breakbeats, psychedelia, hip hop and electronic elements like it's nothin. People have compared him to The Avalanches and Kid Koala, but he's more mellow than that. His tracks have a way of coming together, the odd parts maturing into a highly listenable bouillabaisse.


Check out the diversity, from the smoked-out, spattering, Speak-N-Spell groove of "Listen To The Future," to the jazzy "Session Two," he shows that he can even weave dialogue with non-traditional lyrics into their music.

The title alone on "Yoga Fire" had us Street Fighter nerds trippin', but the music (sounds like a Bollywood breakbeat version of "Apache") ain't too shabby either. Lastly, check the bouncy, swingin' "Jazzhole," and if you still aren't convinced, I guess this isn't your cuppa joe.

Who's behind this madness you ask well his real name is Chris Alfreo aka Free The Robots.Started as a side project by Alfaro in 2003 while also playing with different bands, producing MC's, and DJing full time. Having worked with so many different styles of music, Free the Robots brought everything together under one roof while allowing further exploration through sampling. In fact, Alfaro spends hours of his time and lots of money in LA-area record stores thumbing through the crates in search of the ideal sound to sample. To go along with the samples, Alfaro adds other sounds with controllers, and live instruments (keys, guitar, turntables) to keep the blend of sampling and original composition balanced.
