    Chris Alfaro, với biệt danh FREE THE ROBOTS, là một nhạc sĩ không phụ thuộc vào chỉ vào một lọai nhạc. Anh phối hợp các loại JAZZ, Psych, Elec­tronic, Hip Hop với những melody kỳ lạ và điệu trống sôi động.

    Đến từ Santa Ana, CA, Mỹ, FREE THE ROBOTS là môt trong 3 ban nhạc mà Chris làm thanh viên, được tạo ra vào năm 2003.

    FTR đã từng chung diễn trên sân khấu âm nhạc với các nhạc sĩ và ban nhạc có tiếng như, Prefuse 73, Fly­ing Lotus, Gaslamp Killer, The Glitch Mob, Nosaj Thing, Afrika Bambaataa…

    Vào tháng 3 năm 2010, FREE THE ROBOTS vừa phát hành một album có tên “CTRL ALT DELETE” trên label Alpha Pup Records.

    FREE THE ROBOTS đã biểu diễn trên nhiều quốc gia, và rất được các kháng giả hâm mộ, và anh sẽ ra mắt kháng giả Viet­nam lần đầu tiên vào tháng 9 này.

    Chris Alfaro is Free the Robots. The genre-defying artist pulls together heavy doses of tra­di­tional jazz, Psych, Elec­tronic, Hip Hop, with pro­gres­sive melodies and dev­as­tat­ing drums into a rich pot of sound. His tech­niques cre­ate har­mony between gen­res with the blend­ing of obscure sam­ples with ana­log and dig­i­tal compositions.

    Based out of Santa Ana, CA, Free The Robots started as a side project by Alfaro in 2003 while also play­ing with dif­fer­ent bands, pro­duc­ing MC’s, and DJing full time. Hav­ing worked with so many dif­fer­ent styles of music, Free the Robots brought every­thing together under one roof, allow­ing fur­ther explo­ration. With the use of sam­ples, Con­trollers, and other live instru­ments, Alfaro cre­ates a bal­ance between the sounds of the past, present & future.

    Free the Robots has reached a world­wide audi­ence since its hum­ble begin­nings and found its place among the top artists in this genre. With the con­stant devel­op­ment of Alfaro’s sound and live show, Free the Robots Has shared the stage with the likes of Prefuse 73, Fly­ing Lotus, Gaslamp Killer, the Glitch Mob, Nosaj Thing, Afrika Bam­baataa and more.

    On March 2010, Free The Robots released his debut album titled “CTRL ALT DELETE” on Daddy Kev’s imprint, Alpha Pup Records.

    As music pro­duc­ing turns more dig­i­tal every­day, clas­sic needle-on-record turntab­lism has become a more rar­efied art­form. And few DJ’s can han­dle those spin­ning discs of vinyl like Cut Chemist, from L.A.’s fine musi­cal troupes Jurassic-5 and Ozomatli. Cut Chemist, aka Lucas McFad­den, is known for his back-to-basics method­ol­ogy, uti­liz­ing just one turntable, some loop­ing ped­als and an expan­sive imag­i­na­tion. On his upcom­ing release, Sound of the Police , Cut stitches together his col­lec­tion of records from Africa. Expect to hear Nigeria’s Afrobeat pio­neer Fela Kuti, Ethio­jazz orig­i­na­tor Mulatu Astatke, and more mixed with Brazil­lian beats and old school soul rhythms, all mixed live on two 20 minute tracks. Intended to be a prac­tice ses­sion for his per­for­mance before Mulatu Astatke’s visit to Los Ange­les for the Time­less Series, Cut has released the tracks as an insight into his live act and the aural archi­tec­ture that pre­cedes it. Like the works for DJ Spooky and DJ Shadow, Cut’s tracks are sonic essays inves­ti­gat­ing the con­ver­sa­tion between musi­cal styles. Sound of the Police inves­ti­gates the sounds of the African dias­pora as dis­place­ment, immi­gra­tion, and oppor­tu­nity cross-pollinated rhythms from Harlem to Havana to Addis Ababa and on and on and on.

    Dub­spot Radio Pod­cast: Ep 2 Lorn (mix set & inter­view) by Dub­spot

    Our very spe­cial guest on Episode 2 of Dub­spot Radio & Pod­cast Series is none other than LORN, artist/producer who recently unleashed an excel­lent debut album titled Noth­ing Else on Fly­ing Lotus’ Brain­feeder imprint. Lorn dropped a bril­liant mix-up which fea­tures some incred­i­ble and recent com­mer­cial rap beats blended effort­lessly with some of his own impres­sive cuts (from the new album) plus exclu­sive beats from var­i­ous sources and the LA beat-scene and beyond. After the mix, Lorn talks with Dub­spot Instruc­tor and host Matt Shade­tek about the cre­ative process behind the album, com­ing from the mid­west, and how Fly­ing Lotus dis­cov­ered his music through MySpace. Shade­tek also dropped a wicked mix to heat things up.
