The cover art for producer Christopher Mark Alfaro aka Free The Robot's Datu 2 album, showing  old photos of a textured rock, Philippino people interacting, and a person holding a stick. Text reads "FREE THE ROBOTS." Earthy tones dominate.

Some Friday freakiness from Free the Robots who has just dropped another audio anthropological exploration of his Philippines roots. Sneaking the field recordings, native instruments, ancient rituals & rainforest hallucinogens around the thankfully still half built wall & back to his LA beat science lab, he's transformed ceremonial soundtracks, rainforest rites & far flung sounds into evocative, hip hop juiced low tempo bangers fit for today's Fourth World B-girls & boys.
