Two days ago and completely out of nowhere (Come on! No heads up on this completely awesome music?), Hip Hop producer Illmind released a free album with his new electronic/dance/pop group called Smokey Robotic. They create what is called Superfuture music and let’s just say I LOVE IT. My favorite track from the album is “Forever My Love.” Sample that track and few others below (or stream them all on SoundCloud) and don’t forget to download this amazing album now! It’s FREE!

About Smokey Robotic:
And so the story goes….
Almost 40 years ago, in a no name bar somewhere in Mississippi where two roads meet, with a storm blowing in from the Gulf, something happened.
The story goes that a woman walked in who was so shockingly beautiful, and somehow dangerous, that the bartender stuttered when he poured her a shot.
The rednecks parted in silence as she made her way to the old Wurlitzer jukebox that had been dark and silent for years. She put in a coin, they say, and at the same moment there was a flash of lightning that seemed to come through the door.
The jukebox lit up and Al Green’s Simply Beautiful came pouring out. She didn’t seem surprised, not even when a two foot robot blew right out of the jukebox’s flashing lights and stood beside her. She took its hand, and they left. No one followed them. When Al Green was done, the jukebox went dead and silent again.
That was it. For almost forty years. Like it never happened. Like they fell off the earth. Until now…
When asked where he came from, Smokey only smiles and points up. Journalists often ask him to describe his music, to compare it to other artists. Smokey always giggles and says whatever amuses him on that day.
He has compared himself to everyone from Sam Cooke to Lady Gaga.
Smokey Robotic: “I’ve been making music since God’s dog was a puppy.”
Smokey has assembled the following people for his band:
- Seer aka Zachary Field (Writer, singer, rapper)
- Father Dude (Writer, singer, producer, engineer)
- Konrad (Producer, singer, engineer, graphic artist)
- Illmind (Producer, engineer)
- JK5 (Chief visual director)
One last note from Illmind:
These past 3 months have been SUPER exciting for me.. behind all of the other projects i’ve been hard at work completing, I produced an album with a new group I formed.. we are called SMOKEY ROBOTIC… it’s POP.. it’s ELECTRO.. it’s HIP HOP..it’s “4 on the flooor”, there’s some singing.. some rapping.. a few ballads..but above everything else, it’s FUN music.. we were all completely free while making this album, and i’m so proud of it… I want to share it with you.. it’s 12 complete tracks.. bump it in the car, on the ipod during your commute, or anywhere that you want to just listen to music to make you happy…. – !llmind
