The track that should have made @TheEconomist’s history of the “Amen, Brother” break.

For The Horde: a fast, loud, glitchy, catchy, slightly tongue in cheek punk/drum and bass song about modern culture. It’s what we wanted to do when we started 100 robots: rock hard, but not take ourselves to seriously. Shame I’m losing my voice a bit by the end in this performance at The Hope though.

The Path Of Totality

Unfortunately the album is a bit of a let down after the “Get Up” single. “Way Too Far” is good, but unfortunately the collaborations with Noisia and Datsik which I would expect to be good sound messy and too busy as though neither Korn nor the featured producers were prepared to leave anything out.

So Much More at the Hope. A big, chunky, riffy, Prodigy style monster that’s lots of fun to play live. I love being able to cough up furballs of bad experiences to turn them in to songs and make something positive out of them, but I’m still not sure I’ve been forgiven for this.

100 robots Attack Beatport!

For all you DJ heads: get your 100 robots tracks at Beatport! (everyone else, get them from bandcamp as it’s cheaper, higher quality and we get more of the money)

Redemption is a tricky song to play live: as soon as I start singing it’s difficult to hear the quiet intro to stay in time and the constant switching riffs are tricky to keep track of. It’s great when we get it right though. It’s probably the closest we’ve come to 100 robots as live drum and bass rock mashup and I like the idea that we’ve got the loudest, fastest worship song in the world. I love the way Ali is singing along to the melody while she records the performance in this video.

Deep Underground is great fun to play live as there are lots of sections where I can mess with the track using the iPhone. It means it ends up varying a lot between gigs, which is one of our goals: we don’t want to just sound like we’re playing to a backing track, but want to mess with the parts playing from the laptop as much as possible.
