Robotnick's Archives Vol 1

Active on the music scene for about 30 years, Alexander Robotnick has produced an impressive amount of music.
Starting with ¿Avida¿ the first band he put together ,whose early 80s unreleased tracks have been recently published by Creme Organization) to the latest digital releases by his label Hot Elphant Music.
Being a musicaholic , Robotnick has been stacking a huge amount of supports: tapes, floppy disks, dats, CD-roms, hard-disks . Last year, as he turned 60, he decided to put some order into his archives , getting rid of much of them but saving some projects that hadn¿t got to the stage of being released but contained some interesting ideas that he deemed worth developing and completing. This is how the idea of Robotnick¿s Archives came about.
Starting from December 2011, every mont h Elephant Muisc is releasing a digital EP containing from 3 to 5 tracks , under the title "Robotnick¿s Archives". It's a production that embraces different styles, from disco to techno, as the author never identified with a given genre for good. In some cases these tracks are actually re-works, in other cases they are true remixes. With a better equipped and more professional home-studio (A.R. recently moved from his countryside hideout to an urban bunker..) and thanks to the collaboration of Tommaso Bianchi , an extremely talented
sound-engineer, who¿s been recently mastering A.R,'s tracks , Robotnick is convinced that , lost in the darkest corners of his studio, there are indeed some forgotten gems worh rescueing and publishing. Robotnick's Archives n.1 features 2 tracks; "Morning Theme" , - something that could be described as "disco/progressive" although it comes in 120BPM - and "Undicidisco", the second one, in two different versions, both echoing the Electro-house mood (123 bpm)
