A sound collaboration project of a duo of old, exhumed bones, joyfully rattling, dancing in the fog.

ROBOPOP

The long and eagerly awaited new album by the merciless duo-band synaesthesis SUBOTAI, (also said to actually be a sprouting branch of the legendary multifaced demon Rama Subo-thai III), now finally titled ROBOPOP in its release, hints at something over-the-top, audacious, and perhaps a bit nostalgic, leaning into an era where genre-defying art was more of a statement than a market strategy. Some called it the Duke Nukem record of the no longer existing music industry.

“You might think the Swedish duo Gidge meets corked electronic pop like a Canadian trapper skinning beats like beaver pelts, crossed with 60s film noir and pop culture sprinkles that seem either brave and enlightened or banal – maybe both. The Swedes would never do such a thing, so these must be postmodern denizens of other forests. This band needs no rehash, no label and no instruments – the epitome is salty, surging, crackling.”

ELEKTRO HORVATH

Some memories never get buried. Anyone who grew up in the 70s/80s will not survive this general attack. Greetings from the burning house of our childhood of advertisements and good, safe feelings. The best SUb_oTAI album since their last one.

EDM WORLDWIDE (Berlin) about ELEKTRO HORVATH: If anything ever came close to Goa Dance subverted by weird and loony, more often then not, German samples of the 70s/80s TV era, then it is this kaleidoscope of smooth madness from Austrian/Bavarian origin called Electro Horvath. Subotai is a duo to follow for your half-yearly dose of danceable cross-over mash.

THE VALIANT

An unholy mix of ambient, techno, dubstep and trance elements with arrows of classic Wuxia samples – like the Golden Horde riding through your brain, not taking any prisoners. Original creations born out of the residue of Mongolian mindset heritage worldwide, not traditionally mixed with existing flavors of the other kind. The best SUb_oTAI attacks and retreats since 1996.

THE ROLLING MOSS (Seattle) reviewing THE VALIANT: An unholy mix of ambient, techno, dubstep and trance elements with arrows of classic Wuxia samples – like the Golden Horde riding through your brain, not taking any prisoners. Original creations born out of the residue of Mongolian mindset heritage worldwide, pillaging, raping, ruling, not traditionally mixed with existing flavors of the other kind. The best SUb_oTAI attacks and retreats since 1996.
