Music Manifesto
-Separate music from money. Recognizing that money, as an artificial form of value, has no place in the musical space. Every effort must be made to disentangle the act of making music with financial reward. The real reward, hidden from most in our shiny age of materialism, is the connection music provides to a mystical experience.
R0b0t_Sm0ke’s values the mystical experience above all, as a form of gratitude for bass frequencies, worship of the low end, and homage to instrumental riddims that eschew pop vocal hooks.
The R0b0t_Sm0ke studio, a low-tech haven filled with flat-wounds strings and hanging bass ukuleles, is where he crafts tesseracts of DUB tunes. This space is sanctified and sacred. It is the bedrock of illumination, the grounding of all electrical beings.
Despite his passing similarity to an autonomous entity, 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.
