Naytronix is an evil dance band cloned from the stem cells of Oakland, California, based multinstrumentalist / producer Nate Brenner (also a member of tUnE-yArDs & Beep!). Deeply rooted in the traditions of the future, Naytronix merges fashionable grooves with found sounds and homemade instruments to unsettling yet familiar effect, as humans play side-by-side with robots, intertwining in a nefarious tango until it's unclear where veins end and circuitry begins. Though the influence of Brenner's California home is apparent in his relaxed, sun-blasted sounds, he is also a native of the synthetic desert cities of William Onyeabor, the vanguard estates of Charles Mingus, and the family manor of Sly Stone. As the bassist for genre-bending institutions tUnE-yArDs and Beep!, he is no stranger to the explosive confluence of varied musical families. He says, I want to use the full spectrum of available sound timbres including electric, synthetic and acoustic...I like to use non-musical sounds as well. With a horn section and other talent pulled from his Bay Area community, Brenner conducts this mash-up with the exactitude of a subtle supervillain. Let the evil dance party begin with the release of Dirty Glow on October 8th on Plug Research Music.
