The 6th album in a series of 7, the Robohands project moves into more risk taking live and spontaneous direction with Oranj, and sonically it sits as the most raw and defiant sounding record so far. Oranj is a 14 track LP, recorded in 2025 between Chicago's Rax Trax studios and Dock Street Studios in London, Andy Baxter taking on drums, keys, bass guitar with long time collaborator Francesca Uberti joining on Rhodes piano for four tracks. Featuring mix engineering from Hackney Recording Studio's Sean Woodlock and by Lilac Lab's Shawn Clendening in Chicago. Partly an ode to the inventors of analog recording equipment and electric instruments in the middle of the 21st Century, Oranj features valve driven outboard sounds, thudding 1960's Fender Jazz bass, Fender Twin Reverb guitar amps and a real vintage Hammond organ with rotating Leslie speaker cabinet. In total the record features equipment from the 1950s through to the current year, but with an emphasis on sounds found on classic jazz fusion records from the 1960s/1970s, and film soundtracks from the late 1970s and 80s.
