its been over a year since we had these boys over, so whos ready for another night of mad tunes and crazy stage antics that only BaD RoBoT can supply???
heres a little info about them.........
Bad Robot is a Perth (Australia) based Drum ‘n’ Bass production/DJ duo consisting of Whetu Kay aka Phetsta & Ross Deschamp aka Rregula. After producing solo and in other collaborations for several years they joined forces in 2004. They drew upon their common interests and musical influences such as Audio Blueprint releases, Kemal & Rob Data, Ed Rush & Optical, and more recently Subfocus, Noisia and Break, as well as various metal acts. Adding to these their own personal touch they have developed a unique blend of melodic, cinematic and musical DnB that retains a hard dancefloor edge with guitar like leads that are hot like the 80’s.
After only a few months together Bad Robot landed several releases on net based labels Shabybrain (Germany) and Kinematic (Australian DnB mp3 label co-owned by Rregula). These early outings got the initial word out and they soon had several tracks snapped up by American label Habit Recordings. Around the same time Phetsta managed to grab a deal with Simon Bassline Smith’s Technique Recordings, receiving airplay by the likes of Andy C and Grooverider. Meanwhile Rregula (guitarist from WAMI award winning heavy act The Dirty Whittler) was working on his darkside DnB side project Chronix with now Melbourne based producer Trauma. These early releases paved the way for the following months of Bad Robot’s existence.
After a few months in the studio, 2005 saw the true revealing of the Bad Robot live onslaught, with enough material to fill almost an entire set with original tracks. Fully armed with not only mixing skills, but also full body armour, flashing headlights, stage props and swords, the Robot’s took it to Perth crowds and abroad in set after blistering set, backing up some of the biggest acts to pass through such as Teebee, BSE, Calyx, Pendulum, Raiden, Robyn Chaos, and more recently Noisia and The Upbeats. They also presented their latest productions in two mixes, the Radd Dope Kings series, which achieved downloads into the tens of thousands on the internet. The shows and mixes formed many networking links, resulting in several signings to labels like BSE, Technique and DJ support from all aforementioned, as well as Dylan, Mampi Swift, Psidream, Mayhem and Evol Intent.
Now as 2006 moves along Bad Robot have featured everywhere around Perth bringing their unique brand of DnB to the crowds, as well as heading back to Adelaide for a second visit. Bad Robot currently hold down a residency at new Perth club The Nine and can also be found about the place at nights such as Roller, Ebbnflow and Traffik & Loaded Dice international events, and on air on various local shows such as Breakout & Full Frequency on RTR FM. With more tracks in the pipeline and even more outrageous stage antics, Bad Robot is headed to become one of Australia’s hottest DnB exports. Look out for the robots, they have lasers for eyes....the kind that hurt when you look at them for too long.
