SwamiMillion's 'Robots'
Stream SwamiMillion's (LV members) dislocated synth progressions and off-balance hip-hop beats.
<p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/swamimillion" target="_blank"><strong>SwamiMillion</strong></a> is a duo comprised of <strong>Si Williams</strong> and <strong>Will Horrocks </strong>of UK production unit <strong><a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/okayafrica-artists/lv/" target="_blank">LV</a></strong>, whose <em>Sebenza </em>LP with <a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/okayafrica-artists/okmalumkoolkat/" target="_blank"><strong>Okmalumkoolkat</strong></a> was one of our <a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/2012/12/20/african-music-album-top-2012/2/" target="_blank">best albums of last year</a>. Their latest 2-track release <em>Robots</em> continues the duo's journey into dislocated synthesizer progressions and off-balance hip-hop beats — an experimental and striking blend that left our <a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/2013/04/01/african-electronic-music-swamimillion-sours-lv/" target="_blank">previous review</a> thinking of a "sonic future led by robots rocking custom grills." Stream <em>Robots</em> below and grab it on bandcamp from the group's <strong><a href="https://alter-id.bandcamp.com/album/robots" target="_blank">Alter-Id</a> </strong>imprint.</p><p><iframe frameborder="no" height="450" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/14924214&color=8e56e0&auto_play=false&show_artwork=true" width="100%"></iframe></p>
