I-Robots 'Reconstructions 2007-2017 10th Year Anniversary Chapter 1 & II' (Opilec)
I-Robots is no Isaac Asimov electronic tribute act, although the name may well have been inspired by the sci-fi pioneer. I-Robots is actually Italian producer called Gianluca Pandullo, who makes suitably cosmic house and techno and here collates 10 years of productions with exclusive remixes of Derrick May (‘Emanon’), Giorgio Moroder (a sprightly update of ‘Utopia’) and a cowbell-infused disco take on Yello’s ‘You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess’. Split into two parts (with 45 tracks in total), ‘Chapter’ I explores old-school sounds, while ‘Chapter II’ focuses on the 90s and closes with a sleek, super-deep house take on Virgo Four’s ‘Dirty Talk’.
