Alexander Robotnick - Problèmes D'Amour (Drum Pattern) (Patreon)

When our YouTube viewer Russ Arteaga recommended some of his favourite 808 songs, one in particular got stuck in my head. "Problèmes D'Amour" is somewhere between Italo-Disco, Chicago House and Detroit Techno. That quirky lead synth line is just addictive. The story behind the song is fascinating as well: Because he was broke, Italian music producer Maurizio Dami tried to make a quick buck with a four to the floor disco track and invented an alter ego called "Alexander Robotnick" (a Russian immigrant in France). While the track wasn't a commercial success, Alexander Robotnick ended up creating a cult classic in the process.
