Rabotnik

Rabotnik is a pioneering collective of musicians guided by electronic experimentation and led by the guitar, synths, keyboard and sampling skills of founding members Eduardo Manso and Estevãvo Casé; both from the genre defying group Binario. Formed in 2004 Rabotnik added Bruno di Lullo on electric bass and Rafael Rocha on drums to complete the quartet. Having developed many original sound tracks for cinema, TV and a unique live concert full of stunning light shows, cinematic references and visual interventions, Rabotinik are both visually and aurally immense. Comparisons to Boards of Canada and Autechre are inescapable. Rabotnik’s music has a strong focus on complex rhythm, driving percussion, meticulous sequencing and electro minimalism. With Zappa, Beefheart and Robert Wyatt as further influences ‘Lounge Ass’ has a warmth and personality that often escapes electronic albums.
