Client: ROBOT KOCH, PROJECT MOONCIRCLE, HHV.DE, Berlin, Germany Task: LP vinyl cover design, concept development, the entire scope of art direction, installation, illustrations & photos. The artwork was printed on the inner side of the record sleeve (inside-out), which normally is the rough surface and is rarely used. This texture was exactly what we needed to emulate the coarse wood surface of the installation that we built for this design. Year: 2009

Info: »Robot’s mixtapes have what could be easily called a cult following on the net. The blogosphere is jam packed with these gems. And what always sets these mixes apart from the next man’s is the liberty that they exhibit in defying genre based music by combining and clashing a broad spectrum of sound. Flying Lotus recently asked him to contribute a mixtape for the brainfeeder podcast. The mix featured West African Folk and rare Jazz oddities. Fly Lo had told Robot: “We gotta feed the kids more than just beats.” It’s clear that the man listened. Death Star Droid is far more than just a beatmaker/producer album with a selection of up to date beats. It’s a sincere musical statement made in the tradition of his mixtapes. Expect to be surprised – this is music made for true music lovers.« PMC
