Rebel Robot MCs can now be found on Vimeo

Hi Everyone
I am delighted to announce that the Rebel Robot MCs can now be found on Vimeo and will be posting videos to accompany their series of tracks inspired by the sounds made by analogue film paraphernalia. Take a look, follow them and if you like what you see share as well. As they write on their profile:

Join us on a journey and we’ll take you with us wherever we go.

For those of you worried that those rhythm-crafty beatsketeers DJ Slo-Mo, Nuclear Boy and R-Man (better known as Rebel Robot MCs) had fallen by the way the wayside I am thrilled to share this tweet I came across this afternoon. Inspired by ‘the noises made by analogue film paraphernalia’ the track one16 and the video that accompanies it makes me think that the Rebel Robot MCs are maturing as a collective. Who knows where this new direction will lead them?

I really, really, really love the Rebel Robot MCs

Nuclear Boy, DJ Slo-Mo and R-Man.

I really, really, really love the Rebel Robot MCs. Or Dalton Akimbo, Burlington Turner and Pascoe Wellesley as they are known to their friends, family and uber-fans like me.

I love their raps and their rhymes. I adore their beats and their breaks. I truly believe that they can already take their place alongside real legends like Reddy Freddie and the Go Getters, L’il Little, DJ Soporific, the Rhyme and Reason Riddim Wranglers, and not forgetting Kaptin Kreu-Ton.

The Rebel Robot MCs hit the big time with their rebooted cover version of the old Amy and the Aminals (sic) soul stomper Party Line. Released on the very obscure White Crown record label in 1966, there were only 50 copies of the original single printed and a pristine copy is now worth enough to purchase a small house in the poshest part of Panic Town.

The video that accompanies the Rebel Robot MC’s version really takes off just at the part where Nuclear Boy and R-Man rap the chorus with six dolls dressed as alligators while DJ Slo-Mo uses a wonky bicycle wheel as her turntable.
