Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Free The Robots
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2009-03-22
Free The Robots, alias Chris Alfaro (with the help of keyboardist/guitarist Phil Nisco), comes from Santa Ana, California, and is just one of the most interesting DJ/beatmakers around! He's mostly released tracks on cult labels, very limited editions, with incredible artwork, on Obey Records particularly (along with The Gaslamp Killer and his super heavy beats), on Eadsel in Japan, on Jazz and Milk or Equinox in Germany, with a new album coming soon on Alpha Pup... Expect instrumental hip hop fusing breakbeats with psychedelia, prog rock, obscure samples, old jazz, blues, trip hop, soul and electronic bits. This is the new thing!
