Sacha Robotti releases “Say It” feat. Victoria Rawlins, leading new album I, Robotti via Dirtybird.
Marking a pivotal moment in his two-decade career, Sacha Robotti returns to Dirtybird with “Say It,” the lead single from his anticipated debut album I, Robotti, due in 2026. Released as part of Dirtybird’s 20th anniversary celebrations, the track offers a first taste of what’s to come from the genre-bending producer.
“Say It” features the raw, entrancing vocals of Victoria Rawlins layered over moody synths and crisp percussion. Her hypnotic refrain — “I’m gonna say it with my body” — adds a layer of physical tension, balancing spoken word allure with underground intensity. The result is a gripping, dancefloor-ready cut that hints at the sonic depth of the upcoming album.
I, Robotti will serve as a retrospective and reinvention. Spanning Tech House, Breakbeat, Indie Dance, Peak Time Techno, and Jackin House, the album charts Robotti’s journey from Berlin’s underground clubs to Dirtybird’s famed West Coast events. It’s a full-circle moment for the artist, reflecting 20 years of musical evolution.
Sacha Robotti is no stranger to Dirtybird. Over the years, he has released several well-loved records on the label, including the Loca Lola EP and Melato Nina EP, as well as collaborations with Kevin Knapp and Kill Frenzy. In 2023, he headlined Dirtybird’s inaugural Back to Baysics event in San Francisco and released “Roll With Me” with Pershard Owens.
With Say It setting the tone, Robotti teases a body of work packed with surprising partnerships and diverse club sounds. As Dirtybird celebrates two decades of dance music innovation, Robotti’s return feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
