Robot Koch

I posted a video called "Hard to Find" by Robot Koch a couple weeks ago, and I got a little wise, because the video itself was hard to find on Youtube. The reason it was so hard to find was because I thought dude's name was Robert. Robot is a much more fitting name though because in the realm of futuristic beats, this man is on point.

Check out "Away from Me"

On a side note, I really like how some dubstep early adopters are starting to move in a more experimental direction that sits at the center of a triangle between hip hop, electro and house. (Listen to "Away from Me", then go find some of Koch's other stuff, and it will make more sense.)

As further evidence, I submit the artist formerly known as MK2 - he has to change his name because a french company holds a trademark on the name MK2 - who is now known as MNUVR. I hope to be getting my hands on some his new stuff pretty soon. His performance at Geekend was awesome.

Geekend

First of all, I have to apologize for not posting something about this sooner, but you know how it is, something slips onto the back burner and pretty soon, it's boiling, and you've forgotten about it...

Geekend 2009 is gonna be something new for Savannah. It's like the tech side of SXSW, except we can drink in the streets, which means that it will be more fun. Among this year's guests are graphic designer David Carson, Xbox Live's Major Nelson, and many more.

The music bill has fluctuated, roaming from Paul "DJ Spooky" Miller to Killah Priest, but unless there are some changes, it will be a wildly fun evening featuring the artist formerly known as MK2 (he just got a cease and desist from a french company who registered that 3 character moniker) and possibly the most exciting new act in Savannah, Hula Hoop, who have been getting more buzz than just about any band in recent memory for their high energy live shows that combine live drums with skillfully arranged samples that range from old-timey to funky-soul.

Nov. 6-8, go ahead and mark your calendar.
