A Bunch of Guys is the moniker of Utrecht-based DJ/producer Rob Scholtens, who has gained recognition for his unique take on house music. Rob's musical journey began at an early age, where he started taking drum lessons at the age of 6 and later pursued the guitar at 11. He continued his passion for music and studied jazz guitar at the conservatory music school in Zwolle, where he was exposed to different genres like jazz, fusion, and Latin music. This diverse exposure has shaped Rob's sound and is evident in his production style today.

Rob is always exploring ways to fuse his love for house music with his expertise in playing musical instruments. His studio work quickly led to his debut solo EP, where he displayed his musical talents by playing various instruments, including double bass, piano, and Fender Rhodes, earning him the title of a one-man band.

In 2020, Rob released his EP "Let the Rhythm Hit'em" on Dirt Crew Recordings, which received praise from fans and critics alike. He followed this up with his recent EP, "Baby Come Dance," released in March 2023 on the Future Feel label of dutch house legend Michel de Hey.

As a DJ, Rob's sets are a reflection of his work in the studio, where he combines his passion for house and funk, influenced by the classic Detroit and Chicago sounds. With a unique blend of musical genres and an unwavering dedication to his craft, A Bunch of Guys continues to make a name for himself in the house music scene.
