Free the Robots is a genre-defying artist fusing jazz, psych, electronic, and hip-hop. His techniques create harmony between genres with the blending of obscure samples with analog and digital compositions. His last album, “DATU” was an effort to amplify and re-connect us to pre-colonial Philippine roots, “in the spiritual realm of the creative flow state.” Have a listen:
Chronixx’s Exile sets a new bar for reggae and, truthfully, for contemporary music as a whole. In an era of singles and fleeting attention, this is a full-body work — cohesive, intentional, and timeless.
