Robotkiller - Cosmetic Seconds (2025) [Hi-Res]

ROBOTKILLER is the brainchild of drummer/composer Salle de Jonge (aka Salomon) — where a lifelong love for jazz collides with a 90s hip-hop obsession. Think beat-tape energy played live: Hammond organ, upright bass, and drums dropping sample-like grooves with freedom to burn.

Some say ROBOTKILLER began when a beat machine went rogue, demanding real musicians to set it straight. Others swear it’s a signal from deep space, a pulse sent through the cosmos. Whatever the truth, the sound is clear: sterling grooves, raw improvisation, and a substantial flow that drifts between galaxies of swing, grit, and unshakable rhythm.

The debut release Cosmetic Seconds flips flaws into beauty, featuring Arno Krijger, Thomas Pol, plus heavyweights Jan van Duikeren, Tom Beek, Bas van der Wal, DJ Optimus, and cosmic wordsmith PAX.

Real music. Real players. A future-facing sound with a heartbeat. 
ROBOTKILLER: funk, fire, and freedom with no expiration date.
