REET – ACROBOTIK [08/08/2026]
“This started out two years ago as an EP with just three vaguely eastern sounding straight 4/4 tracks I was going to release, then I made ‘Loot’ which set it off into something else. I’ve always used samples for vocals and theres loads on my last album but with Loot I asked a singer (Alyssa Jane) to ‘do her own thing’ on it. A collaboration rather than direction. This made me think ‘Reet, I’m going to do a full abum where everything including vocals are original’. The rest of the tracks added are moslty experimental breaks stuff, I like the idea of dark/light and dancy then just for listening stuff being contrasted together but still working as part of a whole. I’m a quite yo-yo person so it reflects who I am a fair bit!”– Acrobotik (Brian Feral)
