Breakbot – Baby I’m Yours [Download]

Breakbot is a French producer and graphic artist. According to CoolCats.fr “He wasn’t the most popular boy at school, but he was the best pupil in class, he was the teachers’ pet. He never got asked to dance by girls (except that time on the school exchange to London). Instead of nights filled with teenage lust, he spent his time in the studio. Music was his passion.”

Fans of Sam Sparro and Dan Black will dig this.
