Only For Robots 136 - www.soundcloud.com/crouse [Philadelphia]

For our 136th Only For Robots, we welcome Philadelphia's, Crouse. Enjoy!

BIO -

You may know Matthew Crouse as the co-founder of Psych-dance outfit Risky Disko (Philadelphia). The duo began in 2012 and quickly made themselves known with residencies at The Dolphin Tavern (Try it out: 2013-2016) and Ortlieb’s (Wet Boogie: 2014-2016). They recently released an EP of edits on Brazilian label About Disco entitled "Disco Afreeka".

His sound has been described as cosmic, psychedelic and moody- which makes sense when you consider the wildly varied influences he draws from; including but not limited to post-punk, Italo, house and left-field disco.

Our first mix of 2019 comes from none other than Joey Anderson, and we really cannot overstate our excitement about this one. Since the first Exchange Place releases on Strength Music over a decade ago, Joey has solidified his place as one of the great talents of USA dance music. He came to DJing and production via the dance floor, where he spent years dancing, battling, and educating, and his artistic ethos is imbued with all of that dance floor magic -- that flow and stellar quality that only arrives via a respectful and practiced listener. His sound exhibits a reverence for the underground house networks of NYC/NJ, but his palette seems to strike from some distant moon. He truly has a voice all his own, and we thank him for sharing this session.

He recently released a podcast from Droid Behavior (US), MUNITUM (Italy), Suburban Avenue (Germany), Voltgage Magazine (Italy).

For our 133rd OFR, we welcome Italy's, Nghtly. This one slams, so prepare yourself for an all out assault. Enjoy!

Bio:

Francesco Tella Born in Sessa Aurunca (Italy) in 1996, soon as a boy he began to appreciate electronic music. He started playing at the age of 14 and entered the world of production at 18. Thus his "Analog" project was born, dedicated to one of the first science fiction magazines and, obviously, to the analogy of sound. He loves dirty music, where he speaks of himself through stubborn and gloomy sounds without a precise metric, with different rhythms that is how analogical he likes to define himself. His releases on Archivio 01, Kindcrime Records, Raven Sigh and his latest EP on Blacklapse Records have collaborated with artists such as Exsiderurgica (IT), End Of Mortal Life (FR) and many others.

https://soundcloud.com/antiphase [Chicago]

Antiphase belongs to the Second Wave of mad biochemist DJ dads. However his beginnings were much more humble. Coming from rural Michigan, Antiphase (real name Andrew Schook) seemed destined to own a pickup truck and grow a mullet by his mid 20s. Thankfully his move to Chicago in 2000 allowed him to discover the city's vibrant dance music scene and he honed his musical taste at a superhuman rate. Instrumental in formulating the NBFC's master plan of world domination, Antiphase has since successfully melted faces all over North America with impeccable selection, variety and unnerving charm. As he weaves his vinyl tapestries, Antiphase is fond of everything from minimal house and techno to alien electro, italo disco and dry raw acid.

https://soundcloud.com/placid_88/ [UK]

It's an honor to welcome Placid, aka Paul Wise, to the OFR series. A selector since 1990, Placid is renowned for his acid house collection. His DJ sets weave blistering 303 grooves along with deep house, detroit techno, electro, and chicago house. He is one of those reliable "DJ's DJs," one whose trajectory is firmly rooted in the rave sensibilities of the nineties. He is a resident of the London club night, "I Love Acid," and has played all over the world, including appearances at Glastonbury and BLOC. Big thanks to Paul for sharing his sounds! Without further ado...

It is our pleasure to share with you The Long Count Cycle's set from Sustain Release last year. It took place between 1030PM and 1230AM, after Chris SSG's set and before Convextion. The Long Count Cycle are residents of the festival, along with Aurora Halal and Relaxer.

They will be playing in the forest this year on Friday between 1A-5A.

https://soundcloud.com/dj_leesh [Chicago]

For our 127th OFR, we welcome Leesh, who brings us a mix of what started this journey for her. It is always exciting to hear from another music lover what it was that sparked this change in their life forever. She was kind enough to share some words on the idea behind this set below.

"if you are curious about my introduction to the rave, it was mostly through dnb and uk dubstep and jungle and grime and breaks (as well as downtempo melodic stuff of course!). Then I started discovering dark and heavy techno and my world warped. those sounds are what got me freaking speakers. since I've started DJing i haven't yet dipped my toes in mixing what came before the house and techno that has guided me all of these years.

This mix was my first time trying these origin sounds out and after recording i felt a wild sense of completion, a sweet high. and it was insanely fun and natural creating it! I got to play some of the tracks that I used to lose my mind over as a young 17 year old Leesh, and some new ones that i can't get enough of."

bio:

Fresh behind the decks but no stranger to the dance floor, Leesh has been a dedicated speaker freaker for nearly a decade. She cut her teeth throwing local parties with REDUX in Buffalo, NY until heading to the Midwest. She is new to the Chicago scene and has participated as a mentee in each installation of the Chicago-based Walking & Falling DJ mentorship program geared for woman-id and nonbinary folks. Inspired by this she created Daisychain (https://soundcloud.com/daisychain_podcast), a weekly podcast series to showcase these artists and DJs and celebrate intersectionality in dance music. As a writer and music lover Leesh fused her two passions by founding Sequencer, a website covering the underground house and techno scene.
