- The 11th release on Play Recordings is the Robofunk EP, courtesy of Left Handed Bastard, aka Phil Kaulfuss. Phil was the man responsible for the Cosmos vs Daft Punk bootleg last year, but this time he turns in 3 delicious productions of his very own to please the punters.
On the a-side is the title track Robofunk. The track begins with some subdued beats as the main kick soon comes in. It is quite an energetic production from the word go, with some nice drums and a good baseline underneath. While the beats continue to pound, subtle vocal lines come in and out as do funky sound effects. It maintains a good flow throughout and is definitely a quality production.
Firstly on the flip is Perfunktory. It begins with some tribal oriented beats but soon enough we are introduced to a large wobbly baseline that literally takes control. Smooth sounds surround the production until the track breaks down, unleashing the smooth synthy effects. Another quality track.
Following this is Just a Dub. More then just a dub, this track has substance. The beats flow while the smooth rough synths chug along in the background. The production breaks down deep into the track allowing for a small melodic interlude before the main driving loop kicks back in.
A great EP from the Left Handed Bastard. Not resting on his laurels, Phil has delivered 3 tracks, each with elements that stand out on their own. Be sure to give this a listen next time you go record shopping.
