Robot Koch - Tsuki Barcode: 817231012166 Tracklist: A1. Let Me feat. Curtain Blue & Born In Flamez A2. September feat. May B1. Night Drive feat. schwarzmodul B2. Erase feat. Curtain Blue & May B3. Every Motion feat. schwarzmodul Robot Koch™s debut EP for Monkeytown brings the intense, emotional soundscapes of one of GermanyÙs most talented producers to our homebase. For the release with us, Robot has compressed the united forces of his and various friends into 5 driven tracks that show a yet unheard readyness for the dancefloor. Surely the re  locating to LA influenced the approach to this ingenious record. The textures have become even more dense, with each sound ripened to perfection under the california sun. The tiniest detail in this clockwork of an EP seems like a precision instrument. Even in its most delicate moments, where a track is laid bare to let one single sound fill all the room, everything is in its perfect place. ThereÙs no questions why Robot Koch just won the german composer award as šbest electronic composer of the year.› This young man is so in control of his elements that it seems he would be able to make almost everything. šTsuki› features 5 accurately crafted pieces, all of them dark but beautiful, all of them heartfelt but cool, all of them inclined to a straighter bassdrum but still far away from four to the floor. The EP also features a bunch of collaborators from different camps from all over the world. Indian producer and singer Curtain Blue (The Circus) coproduced šLet Me› and šErase›, the mysterious Born in Flamez, who was also featured on the Modeselektion compilation earlier this year, lends some captivating vocal textures to the first track and upcoming german singer May gives šSeptember›, a touch of soul. šNight Drive› and šEvery Motion› feature LA based producer šschwarzmodul› whose dark and subversive sounds we will most certainly hear more about in the near future. This record is sexy and moving, contagious and ultra clean. It is gorgeous and it can dance well. It might be one of our 2015 favorites already.
