British funk/soul duo.
Jan Kincaid, the former drummer, songwriter, producer, and founder of the
The Brand New Heavies met
Dawn Joseph, the vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, when she started singing for the Heavies in 2013. The pair instantly clicked, and within their first week of working together, they were writing songs. By the end of their first month, they already had far too many for the Heavies to realistically put out.
They kept writing together though and after issuing the album [m=762090] (2014) with the Heavies, they left. Now they’ve formed their own band, MF Robots – their name, a subtle dig at how generic today’s music climate has become – based around Joseph’s effusive vocals, mindful of soul’s golden age but no revival, and Kincaid’s killer rhythms.
They released their debut album [m=1372339] (2018), which was followed by [m=2457718] (2022) – the latter featuring remix single Make The Call / The Love It Takes (2022), with remixes by
Two Soul Fusion (aka
Louie Vega from
Masters At Work fame, &
Josh Milan from Blaze fame) and Atjazz.
