An interview article on Beatportal
Some things don't change, like Andrez Bergen's love for things robotic.
The name of his new EP is ‘Robota’, and Little Nobody shanghaied Japanese producer Toshiyuki Yasuda (one of Si Begg’s favorite musicians, and who just finished working with Señor Coconut, aka Atom Heart) into the arrangement, to do gorgeous, robot-style vocoder vocals as Robo*Brazileira.
The music and the melancholic robot lyrics have been composed by Bergen; both have also been remixed by Japanese outfit Dick Drone, and Bergen’s other alterego, Funk Gadget.
It’s oh-so-‘80s, with the added twist of a barnstorming tech/electro contemporary mentality – slamming and melodic, all at once, a dazzling dancefloor rocker that drifts into a hot-wired epiphany.
Think shades of Jean Michel Jarre on ‘Zoolook’ [1984], Kraftwerk, the Cylons from the original series of Battlestar Galactica, Electric Light Orchestra, Herbie Hancock, and the ‘80s theme music for Doctor Who, compressed and shaken up by a production outfit as fond of Underground Resistance and Surgeon as he is of Si Begg and Luke Vibert.
Completely innovative and quite unlike anything you think you may have heard before, this is machine-based disco-funk-tech for the next decade.
Styles: Disko-Funk-Tech.

13 Pancaked Again (Toshiyuki Yasuda remix)
Toshiyuki Yasuda has a long career as a sound producer in Japan (he started Fantastic Plastic Machine) and I’ve been a big fan of his digital Brazilian textures (digital, but not 8 bit). His take on Pancaked is very interesting, at first it seems close to the original but he develops some underlying layers, bringing in a true density to the piece.

CORCOVADO
In Tokyo, I met a musician called Toshiyuki Yasuda (aka “Robo Brazileira”), who gave me a couple of his CDs. When I listened to them, I discovered parallels between his productions and my album “Midisport” from 2002, on which I took Brazilian music to pieces and reassembled it back to front. When I got into contact with Toshiyuki later, he said that my album had in fact influenced him greatly, and given him the idea of making synthetic Brazilian music. I liked his extension of my idea so much that I asked him to create a synthetic female voice for the Señor Coconut version of the Brazilian classic “Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)”.
