Robert le Magnifique

It was said of James Brown that he could sing from the phone book and still make it sound funky. You have to wonder whether Robert Le Magnifique could make that booty shake by simply rummaging through his toolbox. Here, samples of John Carpenter’s “They Live” cross paths with Jacques Tati’s. A baby music box cohabits with a radial saw, and an inebriated answering machine message finds its place amidst samples of old vinyls dug up in a garage sale and of big steel tubes banged on to keep us dancing.
