Canadian producers Return Of The Jaded and Martin Villeneuve have been making their impact on the dance music scene for decades; individually renowned for their innovative production styles and daring musical output. Teaming up to revisit Martin’s classic rendition of Styx’s ‘Mr. Roboto,’ their explosive rework comes out October 30th on Jaded Recordings.

Sparking an instant connection with the listener, Return Of The Jaded and Martin Villeneuve incorporate a selection of digital synths, before introducing the original’s chopped vocals. Calling upon undulating synth patterns across driving basslines, this energetic creation twists and turns, keeping listeners on their toes, bringing the record into a modern dimension while staying true to ‘Mr. Roboto’s’ essence.

Delivering house music that is synonymous with superior sound quality, history, nostalgia, with a nod to rave culture, Canadian producer Return Of The Jaded is globally recognized for his powerful, yet pristine productions. Leaving a lasting impression upon superstars, tastemakers, and underground aficionados alike, ROTJ has received support from Pete Tong, Nora En Pure, Afrojack, Alesso, Noizu, and many more. His originals have charted Number 1 on Beatport over 8 times, with signature appearances on labels such as Purified, Techne, Repopulate Mars, Spinnin’ Deep, Sink or Swim, and many more.

Martin Villeneuve, also known as MV/Envy, is a renowned Canadian DJ and producer who has released music on prominent labels such as Unity, Yoshitoshi, and Hotfingers. His tracks have appeared on global compilations and been featured by major brands like Armani, Hed Kandi, and Bacardi.
