My Favorite Robot join forces with No.19 Music for the release of their stunning new artist album, ‘Atomic Age’ venturing deep into the realms of ethereal, vocal electronica and beyond as only they know how… The Toronto based trio, My Favorite Robot has risen through the musical ranks since their 2009 debut, to
become one of the most highly respected production outfits around. The pairing of James Teej, Jared Simms and Voytek Korab seems to be a match made in heaven with the MFR team running a highly successful label, touring the world with label showcases at the likes of BPM, WMC & Sonar and creating stunning original music
and remixes for labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Visionquest, their own My Favorite Robot Records and of course No.19 Music. The Robot’s connection to No.19 Music stretches back to the formative days for both, when a shared office in Toronto provided the base for Jonny White and the No.19 crew as well as My Favorite
Robot. Now, with both camps dominating the world stage it makes for the most natural of partnerships for the new My Favorite Robot album to find a home with the good folks at No.19. ‘Atomic Age’ is a beautifully crafted album that opens the doors on the inner sound of My Favorite Robot. Without a doubt it takes influences from the many dancefloors that the trio have rocked over the past few years but at its core this is a heartfelt and musical album that showcases the songwriting and performing talents of the three core members. Opening cut ‘The Circus’ sets the scene with its emotionally charged vocalperformance rising through a sea of synth driven electronica. From here there is a series of dark edged, yet highly engaging vocal cuts including ‘Here Tonight’, the spacey ‘Ride’ and the outstanding recent single ‘Looking for Frost’. Tracks such as ‘Home’ draw on a distinct 80’s electro feel, whilst the excellently titled ‘Centreofattentionaut’ cuts a deeper, hypnotic channel. The acidic stylings of title track ‘ Atomic Age’ reconnect the listener with the Robots’ Acid House credentials whilst ‘Sharpest Tongue’ delivers a classic, down tempo
electro shuffler with its layered vocals and discordant synths. Finally we have the full eight minutes of ‘The War to End All Wars’ that closes the album with style and leaves you wishing there was more. My Favorite Robot have walked a distinctly unique path over the past few years, building a sound that fuses elements from pop’s dark electro past with an intense forward stare into the future. ‘Atomic Age’ is a perfect reflection of that sound and a testament to abilities of the ever-inspiring Robot trio, enjoy!

Toronto trio My Favorite Robot team up with the ever excellent No.19 Music for a brand new single featuring remixes from Juan Maclean & Louie Fresco… My Favorite Robot has come along way over the past four years. Launched in early 2009, originally as a duo and with a fledgling label in tow, the My Favorite Robot bandwagon has grown month on month, seeing the expanded line up of Jared Simms, James Teej & Voytek Korab become an international force to be reckoned with and their label become a hotbed for world class electronic music. ‘Looking for Frost’ sees the Robot trio journey into blissed out, emotive territory with a record that fuses stirring pads, ethereal vocals and a catchy arp loop with subtle drum programming and deep bass, leading to a pulsing rhythm section as the kick drum drops almost two thirds of the way in. The incanted “Sometimes I get the feeling something ain’t right” vocal is a haunting yet memorable line that help makes this one of, if not the most, impressive My Favorite Robot song to date. The original track is backed up with two sterling remixes on the vinyl package, the first delivered by US production heavyweight and DFA man Juan Maclean who turns in a delightfully hypnotic slice of leftfield house that pulls the original elements into a swirling, dark edged dancefloor destroyer. This is followed by a remix from one of Mexico’s rising stars, Louie Fresco who twists ‘Looking for Frost’ into a deep and acidic cut that swirls and bubbles with its heavy FX and deft understated piano hits. The digital package also provides an exclusive dub mix from Mr Fresco that strips back the vocals and lets the instrumentation take centre stage with a wonderfully bright and intense version. My Favorite Robot never fail to deliver and now paired with one of the hottest labels in electronic music one can only wait with anticipation the release of their artist album in the autumn.

The ever-excellent No.19 Music team up with the enigmatic and highly talented Ali Love for a new single featuring production and remix duties from Brigante. Ali Love whose work with the likes of Hot Natured and Crosstown Rebels has created such a stir. Love has been a key player in electronic music for some time now, working alongside acid house legend Eon in the band Ignition before signing to Columbia as a solo artist and hooking up with London's Back Yard. This latest single sees Ali teams up with producer Brigante to deliver two superb new cuts, Brigante also offering up his own remix on the second track. The record opens with 'Playa', a deep and hypnotic, bass driven affair that fuses percussive elements and understated melodies to create the base for Ali Love's distinctively ethereal and soulful vocals, quality stuff from beginning to end. The A side is complemented by the superb 'Brigante's Jungle' a warm and haunting slice of underground house music that once again showcases Ali's vocals, as his incantations about the Jungle sit against staccato vocal effects and old school Chicago inspired stabs. Exclusively available on the vinyl release we have Seb Brigante's remix of 'Brigante's Jungle' that sees the record taken into deep and twisted territory with the vocal heavily effected and the drums brought to the fore, a perfect version to close this stunning single. With each new signing, No19 Music seem to further open up the label's direction whilst maintaining the highest levels of quality and with this single from Ali Love they have done it again, enjoy!

Tone of Arc is the new moniker from Derrick Boyd the multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer who has been creating such a stir after his recent performances at the No.19 Social Experiment events at BPM in Mexico and WMC in Miami and with his forthcoming remix for Visionquest. His marriage of inspiring production/songwriting and truly unique live/dj performances make him a very exciting prospect as anyone who has caught him live can testify to. Now he is set to distil all of this into an album for his friends at No.19, and as an early taster of that, we have here his debut single 'Shaking the Sky / No Pushers'. The A side track 'Shaking the Sky' is a superb bass driven slice of dark house that weaves eighties tinged synth work and rolling drums with the wonderfully contrasting vocals of Boyd & partner Zoe Presnick. This is an instant late night anthem and surely set to become one of the biggest No.19 records to date: it's easy to see why this has been a staple in Art Department Dj sets for the last year. The flipside sees Boyd shift down a gear with the sublime & laidback 'No Pushers', a track that was debuted during Jonny White & Shaun Reeves set at the Legendary Sacbe Jungle party in Playa Del Carmen earlier this year. The record melds a brilliant warm bassline, layers of hypnotic pads and a shuffling drum section to create the perfect base for his ethereal vocals. This is a wonderfully accompaniment to the driving energy of 'Shaking the Sky' and shows the rich diversity of the Tone of Arc sound.
