We have just released a 30-track free mixtape called “Blood”, comprised entirely of Robotic Empire label alumni’s newest material. There’s over 20 previously unreleased tracks, which winds up being the debut release of a lot of artists’ new/side/solo projects, and we’re extremely happy to be presenting this to you today. You can download/stream “Blood” free now via Bandcamp and/or stream Soundcloud: roboticempire.bandcamp https://soundcloud/roboticempire/sets/blood-mixtape To elaborate a bit, we’ve been a label for 15 years now and to celebrate we decided to assemble a unique kind of release – where the primary focus is what’s going on with the amazing musicians we’ve worked with over the years, be it their latest material, an unreleased b-side, or the unexpected solo/side project’s latest stuff. When we started contacting bands the response was overwhelmingly positive, and over about a two-month material the project snowballed, turning into the free 30 track beast before you! There are contributions from repeat offenders Torche, Tilts, Pygmy Lush, Hollow Sunshine, Tideland and ALPACA, this sampler also spotlights a swath of new material from members of historic Robo bands PG.99, Daughters, Isis the band, Capsule, Red Sparowes, CRESTFALLEN, Young Widows, STOP IT!!, DIAL, ULTRA DOLPHINS, A Storm of Light, VERSE EN COMA and many more.

Steve Brooks from the band had the following comment in response to this: This is a lost track we recorded for the Songs for Singles record in 2010. We werent completely satisfied with how it turned out and planned on rewriting it one day. One of the riffs got used in Letting Go (Harmonicraft). Its a tune I kinda forgot about until Andy Low (pack rat) sent us a copy asking if wed be into having this on his new comp. Sure, why not? If it wasnt for Mr Low, Rick and I wouldnt have met, Torche might not have existed and who knows where wed all be today? We decided to call the song Andy Low to make him uncomfortable/feel strange about his name as a song title AND because we love the hell out of him. Andy Low is for our boy Andy Low/Robodog/Robotic Empire Records. Enjoy! Quote label founder Andy Low on assembling this release: Im truly humbled and fairly weirded-out to have a song named after me. But far more importantly, Im blown away by the sheer talent that surrounds this free mixtape release. Every song included amazes me in some manner, and the culmination of all this material gives me the same kind of excitement I felt on the cusp of releasing our most influential records over the years. If you can, please take the time to check out the full release, especially the songs by bands you havent heard before. It was sequenced with a classic mixtape feel in mind, and set to flow as best it can with such a wide variety of material! With two tracks for each year of the labels existence, there is a plethora of great new tunes lurking in here, which I hope youll find and enjoy. A genuine and hearty thankyou is due to every artist who is a part of this, it means the world to be celebrating 15 years as a label with such amazing musicians, and their projects past, present and future!
