Easily one of the most talked about tracks on Bilal’s Airtight’s Revenge LP (2010), “Robots” is a thought-provoking record that questions the use of manipulative propaganda by corporate media and the government. Fittingly, on Election Day 2010, Bilal teamed up with French director Mikael Colombu to release the provocative video so jam-packed with social commentary that if you blink you risk missing another jab. Through the multi-media journey the viewer sees the world of politics through Bilal’s eyes. As you watch “Robots” you’ll soon find yourself paying very close attention to
what is really going on, just as the lyrics to the song urge the listener to do.

So great was the response to both the track and video, that in 2011 Plug Research Records hosted an open-call for remix submissions. Producers poured in from far and wide to try their hand at reimagining “Robots” while staying true to its message.

After narrowing down the hundreds of submissions from across the globe, Plug Research is releasing the 7-track Robots Remix EP digitally on May 3, 2011 featuring incredible interpretations by Zack Sekoff, Chuck Treece Featuring Hezekiah & Ishe, Strangeloop, Remy LBO featuring Blu, Hazeem, Stevo & Merse and Tensei.

One thing is certain, with the current political climate around the world, the message of “Robots” is universal. And just as the message is universal, music is about interpretations. So with that, we present the Robots Remix EP for your listening pleasure.

The Danish duo, Quadron, will release the Average Fruit Remixes EP digitally on March 8, 2011! It features remixes by some of their fans and favorite remixers. It comes out right before the band hits the road in the US playing dates with Raphael Saadiq, Fitz & The Tantrums and making an appearance at SXSW. Here’s a message from the band along with the EP track listing:

“We are so appreciative of our fans so we created this remix contest for Average Fruit to make them a part of our story. We received submissions literally from all of over the world and our fans REALLY showed up! It was very difficult to choose the winner because they were all so great, but a few stood out. We felt that 10.4 Rog led the charge with his Gradeschool Crush Remix and edits done by DZA, fLako, TONL, and Slym also really impressed us and took Average Fruit in directions that it had never gone. We also love how Melo-X touched our song along with the vibes that both Heartbreak and Analogue Transit brought to it. Our fans really inspired us to go back into the studio and make more music. We are thankful that our fans showed us their AVERAGE FRUIT! We hope all our fans love these remixes as much as we do!!”
