The ability to fuse soundscapes of inorganic (electronic) nature with a soulful human touch involves none other than the ability of a master. This is what precisely Chris Alfaro has done with his sophomore album, CTRL ALT DELETE. Aptly and appropriately titled, Free the Robots has managed to create an ethereal, futuristic world kissed with an ever so light, yet masterful touch.

Hard and heavy hitting, dubstep-influenced sounds surround the essence of Orion’s Belt Buckle, carrying the listener into a Hades like world. In “Turkish Voodoo” we are taken to the mystical-funky sitar sound that many would associate with Celda and much of the Turkish mixes that are prone to the Gaslamp Killer’s epic ear shattering sets at Low End Theory. However, I say Free The Robots carries its own flavor in their interpretation, invoking a more soulful feel while still hitting hard. In “The Eye”, which features Mars Volta’s prodigal keyboardist Ikey Owens, we are taken into another sojourn of aural pleasure, with its frantic pacing, contrasted with the melodic, yet eerie dissonant organ of Ikey’s playing. The future is here, folks.

“Guru, a rapper from the pioneering hip-hop group Gang Starr, is in a coma after suffering a heart attack over the weekend; DJ Premier, the other half of Gang Starr, first confirmed the news on his Sirius Satellite Radio Show Sunday.” -Usmagazine
Gangstar was a key source of ‘good’ hip-hop for me in high school. Some of my high school days consisted of trying to educate people on what is “real” hip-hop. Even though I was no pioneer, I felt like being involved in the hip-hop/bboy culture made me a soldier for what I stood for. hahaha I guess I felt better listeningto Gangstar instead of Nelly. It was just one of those things that separated you from the norm in high school trends. I mean…of course I wanted Nelly’s stuff to hit when I wanted to bump and grinndd…but…If ’Full Clip’ turned on… 5 people would go nuts, but out of those five, I was included! Pushing people out of the way to get that circle going…but of course, they never played that at a high school dance. I would probably just have to settle and break dance to ‘Chronic 2001′, which wasn’t bad. Anyway; I’m just sharing how Gangstar played a small role in my life.If you have a short story…lets hear it. Here’s a few of my favorite hits from Guru and Dj Premiere..GANGSTAR!
