Daddy Kev's label is proud to announce the release of Ctrl Alt Delete, the debut album from Free The Robots. A staggering work of mind-warping electronics, fuzzed-out psych and devastating hip-hop beats, the impending release of Ctrl Alt Delete will catapult Free The Robots to the forefront of the world renowned L.A. beat scene. Initially started as a side project by Chris Alfaro in 2003, Free The Robots has quickly garnered a worldwide audience. Combining dusty swap-meet samples, futuristic synthesizers and live instrumentation, Free The Robots has created a unique harmony of past sounds and future ruminations. Much like his L.A. contemporaries Flying Lotus and Nosaj Thing, Free The Robots knows no genre boundaries. Ctrl Alt Delete, which also features Ikey Owens of The Mars Volta, has been a long time coming. Originally signed to Alpha Pup over two years ago, Free The Robots has put his heart and soul into this album. Meticulously constructed, the album is a culmination of countless late nights at Low End Theory Club, combined with a spirit of fearless experimentation. The result rattles with grit and swagger -- a firm proclamation of Free The Robot's sonic arrival.

Big Step
Love this album so much. I've been waiting for a full length ever since I stumbled upon his EP about 3 years ago, and this is a big step from the sample-heavy tunes on that one. Beats and bleeps become instruments of their own on this record, very expressive and very unlike most everything else happening out there. It seems a bit darker than the bright, almost poppy eponymous EP, but it's much deeper and defined, as well. Would love to see it live, and he even came to my small city recently with the glitch mob...unfortunately, the club turned the night into a free 18+ party, and it was way too packed for me to even get in. Nevertheless, this album ain't no joke.

Awesome
The entire album is awesome: the beats are sick, the changes keep coming, and he always keeps your ear fresh. It's probably the best dj electronic album I've come across. I mean it when I say every song is great. You can just play this album back to back and it's still good.FYI no vocals really, mostly instrumental.

Great
Purchased on a whim, and very excited about what I got for it. Later realized Free The Robots is local to the Bay Area, so I can see them at 103 Harriet. Thanks!
