New Single: Robotikus x KOWL x CALYPSO - ‘Out of Love’

Producer and multi-instrumentalist Scott Targett aka Robotikus releases new disco funk single ‘Out of Love’ a collaboration with KOWL and Calypso.

Seasoned Australian musician Scott Targett has been crafting groove-laced funk bangers as Robotikus since first gracing the scene with his creative alter-ego. No stranger to the music circuit, Targett is an ARIA nominated and chart-topping multi-instrumentalist, producer, Dukes of Windsor founding member and Music Director, who’s shared stages with the likes of The Presets, Pnau, Sneaky Soundsystem, The Music and The Vines. Breaking a four-year radio silence, Targett returns as Robotikus on the collaborative funk-odyssey ‘Out of Love’ with fellow dance lord KOWL and dreamy Hobart vocalist Calypso.

‘Out of Love’ is an amalgamation of Robotikus’ far-reaching influences of the Disco, Funk, and House pioneers of the 1970’s and 80’s. Weaving funk instrumentation, melodic synths and bass-filled dance breaks into a rich tapestry of sound, ‘Out of Love’ is a joyous display of collaboration and friendship and an antidote to its own discomforting themes. On a nice summer’s day in Hobart, in the not so distant past, Cal Young (KOWL) and Scott caught up for some refreshing ales in the studio. Cal had been messing about with a rework of an old sample and played it back to Scott. Immediately inspired, Scott laid down a funky bassline and the song changed forever. Once the form of the song was in place it was decided Calypso would be the weapon of choice for the vocalist who, upon hearing the instrumental, began jotting down ideas for the song. Soon enough ‘Out of Love’ was born!
