DJ, author, producer, remixer, label owner and artist.

Robert has many sides to his musical colors, from house, to disco house, tech house, minimal, techno and other weird stuff reflected in his dj sets and his productions

Here you have many of his first productions dating from 1993 until now

Holding a " legendary " status, leaving his mark as a pioneer being one of the first playing house music (in montreal, canada), then, being a major player in starting the techno/rave movement(in montreal, canada), his name is a symbol of talent, success and a continuously renewed vision of an irresistible and universal sound.

He stands out by being a trend setter for many styles of electronic music. 

Born Canadian, originally from Montreal, lived nearly 14 years in Europe (Holland and Germany).

He was amongst, and maybe, one of the 1st Canadian dj to introduce " House music" in Montreal's club around 1986. 

Later on, a major player in starting the techno and rave movement in Canada, then being one of the first Canadian dj to go play to other cities and move to Europe.

Robert has written record reviews for Canadian, American (Street sound, Trance 5000) and German music magazines (Raveline, Loop) and interviewed: Orbital, Gravitational arch of ten, Acid Junkies, Miss Djax, Stefan Robbers, Robert Armani, and Aphex twin.

He was also one of the first Canadian dj to play at more than just one club in the same city, and also one of the first to get booked as "Guest Dj "  to other cities, and also one of the first, to go dj in Europe and move there.

In 1993, leaves Canada for Europe , able to fully express himself musically without compromise, to, at that time, a more open and responsive European audience, but also to live in Europe long enough to really experience the difference in the cultures, produce, run labels and a lot of dj around every weekend, sometimes even, 2-3 events in one long night. The long unconstrained European club/event opening hours being another reason for leaving Canada and wanting the full European experience.

In Europe, first in lived Maastricht in THE NETHERLANDS (HOLLAND) and then in Köln (Cologne) in GERMANY.

Now based in Montreal.

Often ahead of his time and " avant-garde " & risk taking with his approach, the style he plays developed into a mastery at introducing new music to different types of people. 

His personal taste range is broad and he's open for the new, unexpected, but also loves beautiful, fun party music of quality. With years of experience playing to unknown crowds in different countries, versus being a resident dj for many years at notorious clubs in Montreal, he developed the awareness to be present in a club situation and have a good balance between the new, the fun and beautiful, to bring a quality vibe, that's what dj  basically is all about regardless of the styles being played, telling a story and finding ways to also connect with the audience. 

Versatile in styles he plays and produces. House, Tech House, Acid House, Deep, vocal, Techno. Robert loves to discover and research, so the music he plays is fresh and upfront.

He plays either sets of a certain type or concentrates on a specific style for a theme night or venue/crowd. 
House Sets, Tech House, Acid, Techno and sometimes Classic House or Classic Techno, Classic Disco, Garage, Nu Disco, New Wave.

-----He really excels at playing longer sets --------
Something he is used to from the years as resident dj doing the complete night by himself

Long sets making sense mixing the different styles creating an experience, a voyage for the dancers/listeners.
