That's Mr. Glaswegian To You.


Kenny Glasgow is no newcomer to dance music, having put in 20 years of work as a DJ, producer and promoter, but it seems that 2009 is truly his year. His recent, long awaited, debut artist album Taste for the Low life on No.19 Music was described as “One of the most startling different and downright exciting electronic albums which will emerge this or any other year.” by DMC Update whilst IDJ said “Rarely has the man/machine balance been executed with as much mystery and panache”.

Straight from his latest EP, Something Special, comes a host of new remixes...

First of the two remixers to get their hands on ‘Jump Up in the Air’ is none other than My Favorite Robot. The Montreal boys tear in to the original parts and deliver a wonderfully brooding piece of electro tinged house music that provides a perfect bedrock for the heavily effected vocal sample.

Last but not least we have a wonderful piece of work from Andrew Vandermeer who provides an uptempo rework with a deep hypnotic groove and a superb arrangement.

They're My Favorite Robots


Over the last 12 months My Favorite Robot and their eponymous titled imprint have risen to become much respected vanguards of the Canadian electro techno sound. Band member/label owners Jared Simms and Voytek Korab have so far expressed their unique sound through a string of singles with remixes from Canadian based and worldwide talent, now they step up with their debut long player, entitled ‘We Come in Pieces’.

Cuts such as ‘All My Circuits’, ‘Modest Goddess’ and ‘Minutes from madness’ have seen previous outings on single releases and have picked up stellar DJ support but there are a string of new hidden gems here including the glitchy Curtis minimalism of ‘Wakinda Park’ and the bleepy tech stylings of ‘Wasted Time’.
