- Los Angeles-based Rhythm Droid has been performing laptop-free live techno, house, and self-described "tech-funk" for over 20 years - across California, Texas, New York, Canada, Japan, Mexico, and China.Rhythm Droid is one of the few artists straddling the divide between the Japanese and Western electronic scenes. As a live performer, he has taken to the stage over 50 times with his signature all machine-no laptop live sets. Lasting up to 90 minutes (and occasionally beyond) Rhythm Droid's shows have the dancefloor sheen of a DJ-set but crackle with the raw energy of live vocals, synthesizers, sequencers, and drum machines being manipulated in real-time. These performances, standing alone in a world of laptop DJing and pre-recorded, safe shows and have carried Rhythm Droid from the warehouses and deserts of Southern California all the way cities like Tokyo and Shanghai. He has shared the stage with artists as diverse as Rennie Foster (Subject Detroit, F-Communications), Crystal Fighters (Kitsuné), Raíz (Droid), Keenhouse (Binary, Astralwerks), and Dexpistols (BMG, Avex). The Rhythm Droid sound and performance style was shaped primarily by the underground party scene in Tokyo. Playing to wild crowds with diverse musical tastes in an intensely visual and fashion oriented city allowed a unique experimental sound to emerge. Spanning from hard, synth driven electro to sample-based French house, Rhythm Droid keeps it danceable while freely injecting 90s classic hip-house beats, squelching acid, and even anime or Asian pop. Releases began with a minimal house remix of Rennie Foster's "The Go Down" (Dirty Works, Japan, 2008), followed with Rhythm Droid's own "Mute City" EP (Dirty Works, Japan, 2009). The EP garnered attention in Europe and remixes for Housse De Racket "Forty Love" (Schmooze, France, 2010) and Mercedes "Shock Absorber" (Eye Industries, UK, 2010) followed. The year 2010 also saw the remix of Shinichi Osawa's "Zingaro" on Asia's biggest electronic label "Avex", with Soundcloud listens exceeding 28,000. Rhythm Droid has appeared alongside John Tejada, Daniel Troberg, Crystal Fighters, Trovarsi, Keenhouse, Rennie Foster, Raiz, Dexpistols, Zombie Nation, Aurora Halal, Drumcell and Dataline.̸Rhythm Droid "Sunrise on Planet Tokyo" - Dirty Works Rhythm Droid "On a Turquoise Tip" - Dirty Works Rhythm Droid "Red Lantern Obscured by Smoke" - Dirty Works Rhythm Droid "Vector Interlock" - Dirty Works Rennie Foster "The Go Down" (Rhythm Droid Remix) - Dirty Works Housse De Racket "Forty Love" (Rhythm Droid Remix) - Schmooze Rhythm Droid "Young in Your Heart" - Dirty Works Mercedes "Shock Absorber" (Rhythm Droid Remix) - Eye Industries Rhythm Droid "Vector Interlock (Raw n Dirty)" - Robot Cake Rhythm Droid "Hyprfunc (Live Version)" - Robot Cake Shinichi Osawa "Zingaro" (Rhythm Droid Remix) - Avex/Rhythm Zone
