‘The Robots are coming….’
No, this is not an apocalyptic cry in a futuristic time. It is present day and it is an announcement that we believe to be one of the best things to happen in the capital.
Depart Showcase present My Favorite Robot!
That’s right we have secured the services of My Favorite Robot for the next showcase. The Canadian trio will come down to Basing House on the 19th October as part of their ‘Atomic Age’ album tour. The hotly anticipated LP from the Robots is going to drop on No.19 shortly and we can wait.
My Favorite Robot is the trio of Jared Simms, James Teej, and Voytek Korab, three Canadian DJ/producers who in a space of a few short years have become a central part of the global electronic music scene.
Simms & Korab originally formed the My Favorite Robot act in Montreal back in 2002 and the label in 2008, shortly after Jared’s move to Toronto from Montreal. At the same time, the duo hooked up with the No19 Music crew and James Teej and a new chapter in Canadian music history was born. Teej, who was already recording for Rekids and other influential imprints, soon became involved in the My Favorite Robot label and a musical affinity between himself and Simms & Korab lead to the duo becoming a trio. Whilst their good friends at No.19 went on to form the massively successful Art Department, the boys at MFR worked alongside them building their own label into a global beacon for quality electronic music.
My Favorite Robot Records has received huge critical acclaim and has released music from the likes of Tim Paris, Jori Hulkkonen, Chloe, Michael J Collins, Kenny Glasgow, Fairmont, Phonogenic, Andrew Grant, & Tiger Stripes to name but a few.
To see the Robots take to the decks in the intimate settings of Basing House has got us excited and October can’t come soon enough.

In support of the robots we have Jonny Cruz, a multi versatile DJ and producer that is constantly exploring and pushing the boundaries of his craft. His music career started at 17 years of age when he became involved with the Puerto Rican drum & bass movement in 1997. In 2010 Jonny made the move to Berlin, a decision that would forever change the course of his career, he linked up with the label Cocoon and released the dancefloor smasher “Dawn’s Highway” in collaboration with his then studio partners Simon Wish & Lati. That same year Jonny teamed up with producer Emerson Todd and made “The Kiwi & Coconut Pie EP” released on Toronto based Canadian label My Favorite Robot. This then introduced Jonny to Jared Simms, a relationship that would change not only Jonnys approach to his own music but a friendship that would eventually raise Jonny to become one of the labels core artists.
