"A Cheerful Temper", the name of Robert Babicz’s debut album for Systematic Recordings is arguably the best way to describe the Cologne based Pole. Answering the question why he is choosing this specific name, Babicz explains that he feels caught between two worlds: “The real world of everyday life and a surreal dream world comparable to the backdrop of a fairy tale.”
Those who are following Robert’s career over the years, know that his sound and the standard of his productions reach almost audiophile standards. One reason for his famous sound stems in part from his collection of old analogue equipment (even from the 60s and 70s) which Robert uses alongside his computer. Besides drum machines like the famous Roland TR808 and TR909, Robert owns a variety of unique machines like special effects and EQs the size of living rooms, some taken from German TV stations to edit their movies and crime shows. He even uses equalizers used by the secret service and compressors used by East German radio stations.
It is no wonder then that the sound quality of the album is both graceful and crystal clear. Tracks like “Sin” and “Losing Memories” surprise with their club compatible deepness while at the same time moving between the genres of electronica, minimal techno and classic house. ‘A Cheerful Temper’ is indeed a very special and genre breaking album full of beautiful electronic club music. |
