-------------
Robin Ball is a dance music maverick. He’s been DJ’ing and putting on parties since the age of 14 in his own un-conformist style. He’s run independent record labels and a music distribution company, tutored unruly kids in the art of DJ’ing and run a three-piece live dance music group. 

At present he is most known for his @memoryboxparties and @groove-pressure record label and @discointhehouse parties.

​For 11 years Memory Box has been a London based purveyor of boutique parties, working with artists of the future alongside originators and icons from the rich tapestry of the electronic music scene. We invite global musical innovators and originators to play at some of the UK’s best intimate clubs. At a Memory Box night you’ll hear timeless House, Techno, Breakbeat, Electro and Acid and you’ll find the friendliest crowds on our dance floors.

As a spin-off, Memory Box has created Disco in the House. Disco in the House has a different vibe, taking the crowds through original disco cuts to the future of disco and beyond with a sprinkling of disco-tinged House and Electro.

​​Previous guests have included: Artwork, Big Miz, B.Traits, Brassica, Carl Craig, Crazy P, Daniel Avery, Danilo Plessow (Motor City Drum Ensemble), Darren Emerson, Derrick Carter, Dixon Avenue Basement Jams, DJ Bone, DJ Pierre, DJ Sneak, ​DJ Paulette, ​Egyptian Lover, Erol Alkan, Felix Da Housecat, Greg Wilson, A Guy Called Gerald, Joey Beltram, Juan Atkins, Justin Robertson, ​Kiara Scuro, ​Kevin Saunderson, Leftfield, Luca Lozano, Luke Vibert, Nightwave, Nightmares On Wax, ​Orlando Voorn, ​Paranoid London, Robert Owens, Todd Terry + loads more.

In 2017 Memory Box Recordings was born with three releases covering the various styles of music that the parties endorse. All three releases have production input from Robin with support coming from the likes of B.Traits on BBC Radio 1, Danny Tenaglia, Leftfield, Paul Woolford Danny Daze. In July 2019 Robin released on Memory Box Recordings a co-release featuring tracks from both himself and Luke Vibert which received high praise from Francois K, Nina Kraviz, Ben Sims, The Black Madonna, Stacey Pullen, Optimo, Nemone on BBC 6 Music. April 2020 saw the 5th release on Memory Box with a release from Robin called “Sheep Funk” including a peak set techno remix from Saytek and 3 essential mixes from Robin including one under his Robin Beats moniker, a pseudonym he uses for his more abstract techno and breakbeat adventures.  The release is getting strong support from The Black Madonna, Skream, James Zabiela, Tensnake and more.

The Groovepressure label was reborn in 2016, brought back to life by popular demand after a 13-year hiatus, with four successful new releases, remasters and reworkings. Groovepressure was at the forefront of the scene back in the noughties, with support for its breakbeat, tech house, electro, Chicago and Detroit styled releases from big guns Laurent Garnier and the late Andrew Weatherall. The label now is about keeping these influences fresh whilst looking towards the future with new music coming out of Robin’s studio. Recent support has been coming from Gerd, Kiki, Laurent Garnier, Raresh, Sascha Dive, Craig Richards, Stacey Pullen, Mr G, Dave Clarke, Horse Meat Disco, Blackstrobe and many more.  

Over the years as a DJ, Robin has delivered his unique forward-thinking style and mixing prowess to audiences around the world and has played alongside a whole host of dance music’s stars including luminaries Andrew Weatherall and Gilles Peterson to icons Carl Cox and Sasha; Detroit techno legends Kevin Saunderson and Stacey Pullen; UK drum & bass heroes Sub Focus and Dillinja and underground innovators Luke Slater and Underground Resistance. 
Robin has been hard at work in the studio and has a collection of finished tracks that will be coming out over the next year. In addition there are more remixes and DJ sets under his “Robin Beats” alias that has grown from his popular sets at the Memory Box parties where he plays what he calls “the crazy shit”. Watch out also for another new guise – DITH - that is intertwined with the Disco In The House parties.

"Cracking out hip, squelchy funk" - Time Out, London

When 6 eternal friends came together to form Black Forest Ghetto, the past, the present and the future of music (at that very moment) collided.

Many months passed as BFG worked tirelessly to hone their sound, sticking to a strict regime of Super Smash Brothers, basketball, press-ups and Drambuie. The product of this training was music that bounced, grooved and popped. But more importantly, it brought the fun back to music.

The main ambition of this London based 6 piece is to play shows, not gigs. To leave the paying crowds with the feeling that they have experienced something truly entertaining, not a magnolia coated, head nodding affair. Drawing on inspiration from idols such as Prince, Quincy Jones, Michael Jordan and Masahiro Sakurai (to name a few), BFG immortalised their sound in the winter of 2013, joining forces with Rogues Records to produce their debut EP Natural Gaming Talent.

BFG cruise into 2015 on a wave of excitement and opportunity, as they continue to stamp their mark on the UK music scene with the release of their first full length album, a packed live calendar and a collection of short tours.

“We're bringing the party to the people." 

Keep your eyes, your ears and your heart open. These are the voyages of the Black Forest Ghetto.
