Radio Slave Reinvents Sacha Robotti & Blakkat’s ‘The Flood’ via Dirtybird

Legendary producer Radio Slave makes his first appearance on Dirtybird with a pair of official remixes of Sacha Robotti and Blakkat’s ‘The Flood’, out now. The latest reimagination from Sacha’s debut album I, ROBOTTI brings one of underground dance music’s most respected figures into the Dirtybird flock, extending the album’s exchange between the artists and sounds that have shaped Sacha’s 20-year career.

Radio Slave offers two takes on ‘The Flood,’ steering Sacha’s garage-inspired original into deep, hypnotic territory. The ‘Garten Dub’ unfolds across nine meditative minutes, surrounding Blakkat’s soulful vocals with percussion-led builds and soft flute-like melodies. The ‘Remember Mix’ takes a more experimental turn, with chiming synths and ethereal sub-bass adding a mystical edge. Radio Slave’s two distinct remixes reflect the genre-agnostic sensibility of I, ROBOTTI and the creative freedom Sacha extends to his collaborators.

"I’m incredibly excited to have Radio Slave remix ‘The Flood.’ Radio Slave is an artist whose work I’ve followed closely for the past two decades. He has always delivered pieces of music that touch me viscerally and somehow make time stand still. In this era, when fast fame and shortcuts to stardom have become the norm, Radio Slave represents a sound and an attitude that have stood the test of time. Honored and thrilled about this!" – Sacha Robotti

Radio Slave’s remixes follow DJ Rap’s drum & bass take on ‘Looking Through The Glass’ as the second official remix from I, ROBOTTI. With collaborators including Perry Farrell, SYREETA, and Felix, the album explored the many sounds that have shaped Sacha over the past two decades. Radio Slave continues that story, adding a longtime inspiration of Sacha’s to Dirtybird’s catalog.
