Based in the UK city of Portsmouth, Reset Robot has previously released on labels including ranging from techno imprints such as Adam Beyer’s Drumcode and Scuba’s Hotflush to house focused labels such as Sasha’s Last Night On Earth and the iconic Mobilee Records.
Although he is well-known for his club tracks, this album is a chance for David Robertson aka Reset Robot to explore the more obscure side of his music taste, and the output in a synthesizer laden body of work thatâs on a par with the seminal works of others such as Bicep and Burial.
Listen to Premiere: Reset Robot “Chord N Ting” – Whistleblower
Exploring brokenbeat rhythms, ambient textures and intricate melodies, this album is a thought-provoking selection that flows with a captivating suspense. Subdued and introverted, itâs got a lo-fi and dreamy aesthetic that occasionally lets fly into a dance floor orientated groove. âChords N Thingâ, âSingle Coilâ and âWavesâ are both examples of this, but tracks like âHow Deepâ, âCrowsâ and âUnknown Unknownsâ are at opposite ends of the same spectrum with their ambient moods.
The projects are often shrouded in secrecy, but in addition to his own music, Reset Robot also works behind the scenes with some of electronic musicâs biggest names, and this album is testament to why so many trust his production skills.
