Robotek Reagan is back on his Void Space Institute™ label with his first full EP, ‘(Can You) Taste My Lick’ EP, hot on the heels of his well-received first single.
Robotek Reagan established himself as one half of the now-disbanded Superfreq duo Dance Spirit. Now he is moving things on with this new label. It is a multi-media outlet that draws on years of playing clubs like fabric London and festivals like Coachella, Desert Hearts and Piknic Electronik. ‘Taste My Lick’ is a new EP and was the first in a series of new studio experimentations cooked up in the artist’s new creative space in Los Angeles after he moved away from the quiet of Lake Tahoe. After an impressive first single from it, the newly invigorated artist now serves up the full offering.
The experimental and cinematic ‘(Can You) Taste My Lick’ opens with beautiful sci-fi keys and pulsing synths. Flurries of freeform drum breaks and modulated textures then take over and start to journey through the cosmos. ‘Whisper’ continues down an innovative path, with IDM melodies scurrying about the mix over loopy drums and lumpy rhythms. It’s a track that glistens with light as spoken word samples and digital bleeps colour the airwaves.
With ‘Void Kiss’, otherworldly melody and celestial synths warp and wave around one another over fractured drums. It’s braindance music that sounds like it has been made by AI, such is its futuristic intent. The last mind-melting workout is ‘I’m Never Lonely Without My Telepathic Darling’, which has paranoid vocal whispers panning about the stereo field. It is another off-grid, utterly unique and nebulous cloud of bursting rhythms, scattered claps and bleeping synths that soundtracks an alien planet.
‘(Can You) Taste My Lick’ EP is a complete artistic statement from a producer in a real purple patch.
We are presenting ‘I’m Never Lonely Without My Telepathic Darling’.
‘(Can You) Taste My Lick’ EP will be available after the 29th of April HERE.
