From LOVE FINGERS' 〈ESP INSTITUTE〉, a label that keeps delivering a rich stream of leftfield dance music, comes XINNER aka ROBOTRON, who is also part of the Gifted Culture Collective.

XINNER aka ROBOTRON — who debuted with a collaboration alongside SLOW LIFE's S. MOREIRA and joined GIFTED CULTURE, the collective centered around AUTRE and TWO THOU — delivers a 12-inch on 〈ESP INSTITUTE〉. Machine dance music that plays like spoils left behind by a sci-fi cybernetic war of a kind that's fast disappearing. The B-side, titled after the Far Eastern Kamchatka (Peninsula), weaves in halftime steps while acid synths creep beneath the surface. (Original Japanese text by Saito)

Robotron successfully autonomized and has now breached the mainframe. This is its second offering for the ESP Institute. Side A’s Exodus picks up where the last 12” left off, the spoils of cybernetic war as scavenged by the now-defunct Xinner and translated by Robotron into machine dance music for a post-apocalyptic future. With only a select few analog machines with which to communicate, it manages to produce the most bombastic beat we’ve heard this side of the acid winter—a mighty compressor permeates all spare gaps in the waveform, as communicative bleeps and note-bending mechanics work in concert to assemble a highly dynamic composition— emboldening us with courage for a new age. On the flip side, Kamchatkan renders a sparse image of a only remaining organic life, found in the furthest Eastern reaches of the Asian continent, the Kamchatka peninsula. Here, Robotron experienced a metamorphosis, a collapse of its structured programming in which it became self-aware and transitioned from its quantitative agenda to a qualitative enlightenment. This breath of new life invigorated Robotron’s musical approach as heard in the aforementioned title, revealing an uncanny ability for humanistic percussion and lyrical Acid melodies. These two programs will conduct synchronized dances for the masses.
