FACT mix 186: Blunted Robots

The work of Brackles and Shortstuff, Blunted Robots debuted last year with Martin Kemp’s (Brackles’ obscenely talented brother) ‘No Charisma’, a crossover anthem that seemed to infiltrate the sets of everybody going, backed with Mickey Pearce’s ragga stomper ‘Innami’. Two more Martin Kemp 12”s have followed, broken up by Bok Bok’s seasick ‘Citizens Dub’ and another minor classic from Brackles and Shortstuff, ‘Pipey D’.

This FACT mix is packed with unreleased cuts from the Blunted Robots camp and future label material from Terrible Shock and DJ Dom.

Download an exclusive Brackles mp3 from his new mix CD for !K7

via FACT: We love Brackles at FACT. He’s a bit like the son none of us have, except taller.

He’s played several of our parties now, and always tears the roof off with his blend of classic garage and his own hyper-coloured productions. Well, we say that, the Londoner’s sets of late have been more house-leaning, and it’s a direction that he showcases brilliantly on the first volume of Songs for Endless Cities, !K7 / Cool in the Pool’s new mix CD series.

One of the CD’s highlights is ‘Blo’, a new Brackles production that touches on Detroit techno and underwater house, with plenty of the subtly fizzing, vivid synths that have become his trademark. We’ve kindly been given a 320 bitrate mp3 to give away.
