The NYC and Vancouver, BC -based musicians are breaking new ground with a genre of music they call “Superfuture,” which transcends reality with a style that incorporates, but is not limited to, a blend of hip-hop, soul, pop, and electronic.
In just under a year and a half, Smokey Robotic has recorded over 200 songs, filmed 18 videos, and joined forces with renowned artists like Redman, Eek-A-Mouse, Skyzoo, and Yoon Mi Rae & Tiger JK (Korea).
Additionally, Smokey Robotic has collaborated with numerous visual artists from across the globe, garnering the attention of major media outlets like The Atlantic, New York Magazine, NY Post, and TMZ. In addition, prominent music blogs such as Pigeons & Planes, The DJ Booth, CollegeDJ.net, kevinnottingham.com, 2DopeBoyz.com, Mathhattan, and more, who have commented on Smokey Robotic’s innovative sound and approach, as well as the art and vision that comes with it.
Over the past year, the group has been featured in a national TV campaign for Movado watches, charted number one on The Hype Machine twitter Music Chart, chosen as the top A&R Pick on CrazedHits.com, and received over 1M views on YouTube. They also produced a #1 song on Korean music charts, which was followed by the release of the music video, in collaboration with “the Creators Project” (Intel and VICE), a global celebration of art and technology featuring visionary artists from around the world that are pushing the boundaries of creative expression.
