The man, the mystic, the machine:
Meet R0b0t_Sm0ke, as he navigates the ultra-low frequency data that scintillates sound systems & integrates roots from the heyday with a forward perspective. These recordings are a mesmerizing blend of fine, new wine drawn from glassy, salvaged artifacts. His fondness for improvisation allows sounds that are both otherworldly and deeply resonant, plumbing the depths of what an all ‘in-the-box’ setup will allow, while remaining reverent to the origins of dub and mix engineering mysticism.
R0b0t_Sm0ke’s journey began in the underground music scene, where his innovative techniques and futuristic soundscapes set him apart. Penetrating the depths of the roots reggae style, he infuses the genre’s deep bass lines and echoing rhythms with a trademark twist. Clandestine enhancements enable creations rebellious and precise, giving this music a unique edge.
As a producer, he combines analog warmth with digital clarity, creating tracks that are as emotionally compelling as they are technically impressive. His studio, a low-tech haven filled with flat-wounds strings and hanging ukuleles, is where he crafts his sonic experiments; blending steppers, one-drop, and rockers into this tesseract of DUB tunes.
Despite his passing similarity to an autonomous entity leagues removed from the banal bark of the marketplace, R0b0t_Sm0ke’s music is deeply human, exploring themes of identity, transformation, and the intersection of technology, propaganda and culture. Whether on stage or in the studio, Robot Smoke is an anti-establishment pioneer. You won’t find his music streaming anywhere but here.
