Profile: Label Director - A & R - DJ for MIGHTY ROBOT RECORDINGS and Autodiscotheque

OUT NOW:

MRR000: Ra-X 'The Opium Den Parts I-IV' (limited to 330 copies and pressed on a dirty brown 12"). Deep dark electronics. Low-end-dub and scratchy noises, electricity sparking and the 'classic' dirty Hague sounds - SOLD OUT!!!

MRR001: Ra-X 'The Opium Den Parts V-VIII' (limited to 525 copies and pressed on a pure white vinyl 12") - the final parts to the OD series - the junkie is DEAD!

MRR002: Voigt Kampff 'Skinny Cap/Asphalt/Skinny Cap (Freak Electrique re-cap)' - two sought after UK electro classics with a bass heavy remix by one of Viewlexx finest. Utter dance floor destruction - you have been warned.

MRR003: Maarten van der Vleuten 'Kremahitz EP' featuring the 'Goretex Remix' by Rude 66. The Lowlands sound meets hard rocking disco filth.

MRR004: Lindsay-J & Sneak Thief 'Open the Door' featuring remixes by Polygamy Boys, Truffle Club, Imatran Voima and English Electric.

MRR005: Imatran Voima 'Welfare State of Mind' (2x12" and CD LP)

This is what Warp had to say about the LP:

"This is an album from the great and often overlooked Mighty Robot records from artist Imatran Voima. The album is basically a fierce and powerful collection of vicious tracks that loosely fall under the post Drexciya electro bracket, but with enough of Imatran's own psychotic energy and gallows humour and technical skill and vision to develop itself out of a
homage mentality. Heavy duty stuff but melodic and detailed enough to be a real headphone pleasure as well as a dancefloor smasher."

MRR006: Gladio 'Hadrian's Wall EP'

MRR007: Junior Rafael 'Darkroom Traxx'

MRR008: English Electric 'Auto Beam EP'

"English Electric is of a small group of electronic artists that are not just reclaiming 70's electro disco and the synth OST, but using modern equipment to create something new from past influences. This is not nu disco in the Lindstrom vein, but a mirrorball space excursion with serious influences from electronix and modern electro. English Electric has graphed a new age feel to the works of Vagelis, Moroder and Carpenter whilst blending it with European electro slants to make a personal and deep sound. English Electric is a solid addition to the ever-inspiring Mighty Robot Recordings' roster." [igloo magazine]

MRR009 Dirty Hospital 'Leave The Planet'

MRR010 Katelectro 'Plug' (with remixes by Ultradyne and Ottomatique)

Dynoriot - Work Me EP - 14-Feb-07 02:57 AM
Work Me and The Morning are dire New York house affairs but this is an exceptional record for the simple reason that The Violins is really an edited version of The Black Dogs classic Virtual track - and its a superb edit. Its not remixed, just rearranged, so all the elements of the original are there. I have no idea why Dynoriot decided to do this when the rest of the record is rubbish - perhaps like many of us theyre fans of TBDs work - but hats off to them for making the effort! This is one for the freaks.

Safety Copy - 18-Dec-06 12:34 PM
If you like your bootlegs to have virtually no bottom-end and sound as if theyre being played from speakers five miles away then Safety Copy is the label for you. Compared to quality re release labels like flexx and Radius who spend time and effort in remastering and legitimately releasing lost gems, Safety Copy seem to have no regard for the original. A poor quality product.

Various - Disco Galaxia 2 - 22-Sep-06 12:26 PM
I cant quite understand why these bootleggers have to rip off the dubs and instrumentals when, in most cases, the vocal tracks are far superior. Is it a fear of the vocal, or do they think this is what their buyer will want? Its a shame as both Barbara Norris and Amnésie are so much better with their respective lyrics.

Regardless, this is yet another poorly produced rip off by the people whore trying to bootleg their way through the entire history of electronic music.

Alessandro Novaga - Faces Drums - 07-Aug-06 07:11 AM
This is an incredibly overrated record. For all its hype you’d expect some mind blowing Novaga drum programming, ideal for ripping up your 80’s mixes, but all you get are a selection of embarrassingly simple Bontempi pre-set style bossa nova beats which a trained hamster could have programmed. Am I missing something? Probably not. Save your collectors cash and look for more inspiring Italo classics.

REKID - Lost Star - 05-Feb-06 02:43 PM
The track III Discotto is a slow, dubbed out version of BWH Stop. None of the originals vocals are on it, but theres a fat kick drum behind it and loads of spaced out noises. A great track.
