Axiotronic is one of the many musical projects of Philadelphia native Michael
Spinka.During his college years, he majored in communications and music, focusing on
MIDI programming and electronic musical composition. Axiotronic's signature sound
includes sharp saw's, smooth sines, and deep basses, mixed with old school style drum
programming, a-la 606/808's. Live vibraphone usually accompanies these melodies to
bring even mix of an electrically hot vibe, cooled gently by the smooth ride of soft
mallets. These sounds are packed into upbeat synthpop rhythms and some say there is
reminiscence of 8-bit chip sounds, amongst the ambiance. Axiotronic self describes his
project as "music for dreaming robots".

If this album resembles any sort of cocktail music, It’s definitely
something from an alternate timeline where quasi-early 80’s retro-
futuristic lounges, rule all social scenes. It’s the kind of lounge that
hovers above Earth in a glass-dome ship, making astronauts of its
passengers. A ship, where the cockpit was built with analog dials,
switches, levers, and illuminating buttons. It’s a place where you
can hear color and taste sound. Perhaps that is where Axiotronic
planned on taking the listener with this debut album, so get a ticket
and enjoy the ride. Stay as long as you like, its peaceful there, and
happy hour is about to begin. Myspace users tend to say this album
sounds like dreaming. We think so too.

Whether it’s live electricity running through your veins, a rip
tide uncontrollably sweeping you past the breakers, or a simple
explanation of up-to-date, “Current” lives up to its name. This is
the second full-length release from Axiotronic. “Current” is way
more energetic than its predecessor “Yellow Cocktail Music”,
and still maintains the core elements and sounds that make
Axiotronic what it is…damn good ambient electropop. While
myspace users described the last album as dreaming, this will
most likely be described as waking up. “Current” is also
consistent upon a theme, and is sure to be labeled a good
album from start to finish. Get Swept!

The third full length release from Philadelphia's Axiotronic.
Of Latitude And Longitude is appropriately titled in relation
to its intricate blend of directional possibilities, yet true to its
unique sound pallette that has been since Axiotronic's
inception. A blend of depth and lightness, sharp hot
computery sound bliss cooled gently by rounded vibraphone
and soothing synthetic modular ambient textures.
Axiotronic has again been able to compress a powerhouse
of energy into a slower tempo that leaves the listener both
ready to race and relax at the same exact time. A perfect
follow up to the past two releases from this artist.
