Twenty years ago today, Robot, the record that started everything for us was released, so there couldn’t be a better day to re-introduce it as part of our 20 Years of Audiojack retrospective!Summer 2005. We’d only been making music for a few months when, dancing on the CircoLoco terrace in Ibiza, we had an idea: what if we made a track specifically to get played at DC10?Early 2006, we’re standing in a Leeds record shop, pitching our first demo. We’d already sent it to dozens of labels and received just one reply. As the CD played, the DJ nodded politely until it reached the last track, Robot. He said his friend might be interested in it for his new label and picked up the phone. That friend was the much-missed Matt Tolfrey, who took a chance on two unknown producers from Leeds and signed Robot to his fledgling label, Leftroom Records.That summer, after Robot had been signed but before it was released, we were back on the CircoLoco dancefloor. Luciano was playing when something strangely familiar came through the speakers. We looked at each other in disbelief: it was Robot, and the dancefloor was going off. As the track reached the end, while we were still trying to process what had just happened, Luciano mixed in a second copy and played it all over again. A very special moment for us.Sitting somewhere between electro and techno, Robot was memorably described by Lee Burridge as sounding like “a toaster stuck in a K-hole.” We already revisited the track for our 2015 retrospective, so this time we wanted to honour the original vibe by creating a new edit and mixdown that retains its strange, unruly character but fits more naturally into our sets today.The original 2006 Leftroom release was remixed by an exciting emerging producer called Lee Mortimer. Twenty years later, Lee is better known as Friend Within, so inviting him back to remix Robot again felt like the perfect way to complete the story. His new version is unmistakably Friend Within: a solid house groove with touches of UK garage and bags of character.For more of the story behind Audiojack, listen to episode one of the 20 Years of Audiojack podcast, available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.
