Release info (short): Electronic Robot Funk from Golden Bug. Golden Bug lives in Barcelona but comes from Paris. He used to be part of the famous Parisian "Palais du Tokio" skate crew with DJ Falcon and Pedro Winter. His mother used to run legendary Parisian Japanese Toy shop "La Maison du Robot" where all the cool kids hung out. So Golden Bug is a real Robot Kid. That's why you can hear all the robotic voices in his tracks. He released three singles on Gomma which got amazing feedback. They were played by Djs like Prins Thomas, Jori Hulkkonen, Shit Robot and Digitalism. Now it's time for the album. 14 killertracks. Between Cosmic disco and new school acid funk. Release info (complete): Antoine Harispuru is a Robot Kid! The man behind Golden Bug was partly-educated by Victor, a Japanese Robot from Osaka. Victor was invented by Komba, an old Japanese man who wanted a child. He created Victor. When the old man died he sent Victor around the world telling him to find a new home. After a big odyssey Victor finally arrived at legendary "La Maison du Robot" in Paris. The shop was owned by Antoine's mother who was the first one to import Japanese toys to Europe in the 70ies. So Victor came to Antoine's family and decided to stay for a while. And as Antoines mother was busy with the other toys - Victor practically was the one to teach Antoine how to eat, how to speak and how to dance... Victor was a huge fan of 70ies hard soul and 80ies electrofunk - so when Antoine turned 14, Victor bought him a Roland TR808 Drum machine, a sampler and some old records and they started to invent a new style of robotistic booty funk. A few years later Victor and Antoine left Mamas Toyshop and went to live on a boat on La Seine„doing hippypartys on their boat, dancing at the Parisian rave parties of the 90ies and hanging with their crew - the legendary skate boys from "Palais du Tokio". The Crew which also included people like DJ Falcon, Pedro Winter and other now famous funky Frenchmen. Living on the Parisian boat was great but it was to wet for Victor who started to have some serious electronic damages. So they moved down to Barcelona. They used to skating outside MACBA. But one day someone did the wrong 360 kickflip and cut Victor's head of with his board. At 38 years old Victor died in a skateboard accident. Very sad and lost, Golden Bug had to find an escape. He found it in toys design, and started working for toy companies around the world while continuing to develop his totally rocking electronic booty funk music in the sprit of Victor the Robot. One day the German Gomma boys heard rumors about this crazy Robot funkateer and got super curious. They found Antoine and it was immediately clear that Antoine the Robot man had to join the Gommagang. And here's is the result: 14 killerdance tracks. Computer funk, 70ies disco drums and acid synths. Check out the vocals: They are all made with Victor's vocal squeeze machine: It's a robot voice transformer. It transforms the fucked up words of LOU VALENTINO - a hip hop homie from Bermuda islands - who did all vocals on this album into the supersexy girly voices you can hear on tracks like Barbie's Back. Some of these tracks already have been released on 12inches. Barbies Back, "I Can't Stop" and "Disco Sensation" received great feedback. Djs like Prins Thomas, Jori Hulkkonen, Shit Robot and Digitalism are big fans already of Golden Bug Robot Funk.
