Own Existence is a track taken from I-Robots’ debut album, Law of Robotics. Inspired by Asimov’s Laws, the album was released back in 2008 and is now inspiring a series of remixes for the new year.

Selling points:

Next up to add their personal touch to the originals are two Detroit luminaries: Motech’s Gary Martin and UR associates Los Hermanos. Previously in the series were Zeroth Law ft Mike Anderson & Demented Machine remixed by Santiago Salazar and Mr. Raoul K and Come to Harm remixed by Kuniyuki, Djambe Monks and Danny Ocean, whilst future will see remixes from Daniele Baldelli & Marco Dionigi, Richard Sen, Santiago Salazar, Alexander Robotnick, Harry Dennis (of The It/Jungle Wonz) and more to be confirmed. First up are Los Hermanos, the Detroit based project of Gerald Mitchell who has been releasing EPs and LPs on labels like Submerge and Underground Resistance for more than 15 years. Their excellent remix is lively and rhythmic, with graceful synth hits and bustling percussive patterns, all worked into an insistent, funky groove. Then comes Gary Martin, an often overlooked producer hot off the back of a superb album for Motech. He also runs his own Teknotika label and has been a key figure in Detroit for many years. His brilliant take on the original re-imagines it as a deep and late-night cut, one that exists at the outer reaches of space. It has filtered robot vocals and chewy synths, all alien and captivating.
With artwork by Tamami Saito from Little Yorke Japan and more EPs due in the series, this proves to be another great project from I-Robots and his excellent Opilec Music label.
