For all my talk of my mission to present to you the very best of all genres of electronic music I am still a sucker for a label with a cool name. A cool name raises an eyebrow, makes me curious. To be sure, the label\u2019s music better be good or I\u2019m go on my way in short order. There\u2019s got to be something to back up a cool name.<\/p>Take Robot Elephant Records<\/a>.

A few months back I was perusing electronic music blogs on Flipboard<\/a> or Zite<\/a> or some app like them and came across a post about a label called Robot Elephant Records. Cool name, I thought. And what would a robot elephant look like? I imagined a Mechagodizilla<\/a> like beast. I had to know more.<\/p>

The blog post praised their Robot Elephant Records so I moseyed over to their website and listened to the tracks they were streaming online and I really, really<\/i> dug what I heard. So much so that I invited Sebastian Weikart and Anthony Chalmers, the founders of Robot Elephant Records, to come on the show and play some of their releases and chat about their label.<\/p>

You\u2019re going to love the mix they\u2019ve prepared for us and I think you\u2019ll agree, Robot Elephant Records unequivocally live up to their cool name!<\/p>

This interview was actually supposed to go out last month but as I mentioned last week, I\u2019ve been working a lot of hours to meet a deadline for a very big project at my job. I love producing solipsistic NATION<\/b> and having guests on the show and I love that you tune in, but it\u2019s unavoidable that I\u2019m going to miss a show from time to time.<\/p>

Join us again next week. I\u2019m still catching up from being off a couple of weeks so while I\u2019ve got some things in the hopper I\u2019m not quite sure what I\u2019ll use first. Rest easy, you\u2019re in good hands. It\u2019ll be good.<\/p>

Okay, I\u2019m out of here. Enjoy today\u2019s show!<\/p>\n\n
