Review: Tulioxi is back with his first 2017 release on Alexander Robotnick's Hot Elephant. Mattia Tuliozi has already had two previous releases for the imprint and this new effort showcases the artist's development. Made with a large selection of electronic instruments; from Roland Grooveboxes to old samplers, modular synthesis and electronic drum shaping - the tracks emanate hot and fresh vibes. The dark and grinding arpeggio of "Apollo 409" sits somewhere between Italo disco and EBM: it's a brooding yet infectious affair. It gets a properly cosmic rendition up next by fellow Italian nu-disco legend from Venice: Bottin. Second original offering "Animal Funk" is a more traditional disco affair with progressive rock tendencies. It too gets remixed by boss man Robotnick, whose rendition gets well funky and more upbeat with added dancefloor dynamics.

Review: Italian prankster Bottin teaming up with Alexander Robotnick? You better believe it and what a killer combo. Getting straight down to business on "Parade" which pairs the musical sensibilities of both just splendidly on this superb retro house jam. Lauer: look out! Second track "Robottin" gets even more brazen with its throwback obsession exploring some of the cheesiest yet loveable analogue synth presets in one big fabulous medley.

Review: According to Alexander Robotnick's label Hot Elephants, India continues to be overwhelmingly young, with nearly half of its population below the age of 20. By the end of this decade, the average age in India will be 29 and set to become the world's youngest country. This is 'indicative of a widespread vitality in Indian culture across all art fields': music in particular. A large young population also means the entertainment industry is booming and dance music plays a major role in it. Indian TechXpress is a sample from the future of electronic dance music. You won't find much 'Indian sound' in it , as traditionally defined, but included on the compilation are: rising German expat Pawas Gupta (with Unnayanaa) on the soulful and melodic techno of "P-2", ToneFabrik with the euphoric classic prog house sounds of "Solar Fields" and Diatonik with the very Innervisions/Afterlife sounding dancefloor drama of "Morphosis".

Review: With a career that dates back to the early 80s, Alexander Robotnick isn't so much a master of synth-heavy electronic disco as one of the inventors of the style. As such, expectations for his latest long-playing opus will be high, but suffice to say this is a set that will delight his many fans and possibly earn him some more. It's equally true to say that there are no real surprises or curveballs on offer - from dreamy opener 'And Here It Comes Again' to the Gallic-inspired retro futurism of 'Le Carillon' via aptly-named synth workout 'Intergalactic Travel', the cosmic 'Arpico' and the bassy throb of 'The World Is Dark', this is Robotnick doing what he does best. But if it ain't broke, etc...

Review: "Kind of... Robotnick" the third installment in the Simple Music series, presents a diverse collection of tracks that sees the Italian legend provide both instrumental and vocal numbers. With tracks like "Lipstick" exploring the complexities of personal image and "What You Think of Me" delving into the insecurities of modern life, the lyrical narratives add depth and relatability to the album's themes. "Kiss Me Love Goodbye" offers a poignant reflection on the banality of contemporary romance, juxtaposed with a woman's refusal to succumb to trite expressions of affection. Meanwhile, dance-floor oriented instrumentals like "Moving Light" and "Frenzy Games" infuse energy and rhythm, showcasing Robotnick's adeptness at crafting infectious beats.
