"Taking My Time" and "Pay No Mind" Out Now 💫

 R. Music is something created a few years ago.  It didn't really exist until we believed it did.  It created music, it earned money, it's real.  It takes a lot of vision to look at groups of losers and finally say hay enough already, he's my business card, it's legit. After a few name tags and a couple of clip boards we were well on our way to becoming the success that were are today.  Before creating R. Music our music didn't have a plateform and we never really wanted the pressure of contracts and dealing with shady offers.
Now 4 solid years running we have tangible results.  We created a realm of our own with no genre based music and influence young and old in countries we never knew existed.   Spent the last 15 years growing and living in Europe and am now back home in Central Massachusetts.  

Rob Phantom is a renowned scratch dj as well as skill lyricist, capitalizing on competitions in the US and Europe emassing many musical accolades and trophies i.e Battle Of The Bands Solo awards and Various Independent artist victories. In the early 2000's looking to travel and expand my music experience and began djing throughout Germany eventually doing studio work for a little known group called C-Block.  I didn't gain any commercial success but it was my first real exposure to a real working studio.  I was told maybe if I stuck around long enough maybe something would rub off, it did.  I was being recognized as one of the best American djs, with a few magazine articles and promotional cd release parties for more and more European artist that hit charts, my name was out.  At that time I was DV8, with a registered logo and all.  I played a crazy party with a ton of promoters one night in a sweaty packed club.  I left there with literally 3 crates of crappy records these promo fueled bass heads wanted me to play and a phone call the next day.  I want to say this phone call changed my life but it didn't.  But the one thing I did do was open up for Puff Daddy P. Diddy, Puffy Combs European Tour in Munich's Olympic Stadt Hall Germany. WHHHAT! 30,000 people and I opened.  In a pitched black stadium opening for one of the biggest names.  
I never got to hear anything during sound check so I didn't know how loud it would be. In the dark in front of turntables that were in my apartment only hours before lit only by the pop up lights I touch the right table full volume for the first time.  The thud from my finger rumble like an earthquake. Then I new it was time. Time to do what I spent all my hard earn money on, my blood money, my days of of slaving for at a grocery store collecting carts, my graduation money, savings. I had nothing to fall back on.  That moment changed my life. I realized that moment none knew me from a hole in the wall and it was time to change that.  
Fast forward to present day, I'm still doing music, still djing and living  a dream that most still don't believe nor do I have time to tell.  You can rest assure that every penny I made and make to present day gets invested right back into what I believe in.  I share both my knowledge experience and time mostly for free and get back more.  I take my time because I've seen a lot of people come up fast and fall right off.  I've seen people get taking advantage of and been taken advantage of in this business.  I've witness moments of greatness that inspire more moments of greatness.  I still travel the world and will be returning to Germany for some R&R with a couple surprise performances in the Heidelberg/Mannheim area TBD 2016.
I would like to thank you all that listened to my music and those that continue to.  You gave me the confidence to proceed further then I ever thought I would go. If you are still listening please follow me here as well as Facebook, listen to my other projects, like and share.  

Your support means everything without you who's really listening.

Peace

Rob T.

Two decades. They've gone by in a blur, filled with soundchecks, encores, album releases, and sold-out shows stretching from the California coastline to the UK mainland. Along the way, Pepper has sharpened its own "Kona dub-rock" sound — a blend of reggae, alternative rock, island rhythms, and punky spirit — while al-so building a community of fans and likeminded bands.

That communal spirit runs throughout the band's eighth studio album, Local Mo-tion. After sharing shows for years with their heroes and peers, Pepper's three members — vocalist/guitarist Kaleo Wassman, vocalist/bassist Bret Bollinger, and drummer Yesod Williams — are no longer merely artists; they're ambassa-dors of a scene, bringing people together under an umbrella of positive-minded music and collaboration. Appropriately, they share the spotlight with some of their longtime friends on Local Motion, whose songs feature appearances by Stick Fig-ure, E.N Young, Micah Brown, Iration, The Green, Tribal Seeds, and Reel Big Fish's Billy Kottage. A celebration of artistic synergy, brotherhood, and modern reggae music, Local Motion is Pepper's most collaborative record to date, shining a light not only upon the three bandmates themselves, but also upon the wide community they've helped build. 

"We're part of a community of bands who have the same mindset," says Wassman. "They're our peers. They're our friends. We all exist on the same plane, and that's why we called this album Local Motion, because this is our local scene. It's where we fit in."

Before Pepper began building a community in its adopted hometown of Southern California, the group held its very first rehearsal in 1997 in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. All three members were natives of the Big Island, and together, they made a sound that nodded to their tropical roots while also moving forward into new territory. After earning a local fanbase in Hawaii, they moved to the mainland, where Pepper quickly became a popular live act. Pepper's diverse music allowed the group to tour the country with a wide variety of bands, including reggae icons (The Wailers), punk bands (Pennywise), reggae-rockers (311, Slightly Stoopid), and hip-hop leg-ends (Snoop Dogg). Meanwhile, the band's admiration for DIY-minded groups like NOFX inspired Pepper to launch its own label, LAW Records, which gave the trio complete control over its own music. It also allowed the band to sign other acts, which expanded Pepper's circle even further. 

"When we moved to California, we were playing small clubs," remembers Bol-linger, who now plays outdoor amphitheaters, indoor theaters, festivals, and other high-capacity venues with his bandmates. "We felt like we were one of the only bands carrying the flag for this genre in America. These days, it's different. We're seeing some real movement within the reggae scene. This sound has become an established part of American music, and we're grateful for the other bands who are flying the flag, too. Everything is connecting. The energy is right. Incorporating those bands into our new record was the perfect alignment of where we need to be."

"In a world of social chaos," adds Yes Williams, "we wanted a ‘return to commu-nity,' that community being the reggae-rock community. We continue to flourish and grow due to the synergy of likeminded bands and fans. Without each other, we are nothing, fom where the music comes from to where it goes. This record is fil-tered through the community, a true Local Motion that we are lucky enough to be a part of."

As a visual artist, choosing a track is a visual experience for me.  As an old school rave-style dancer, I want to hear something that moves my body the way my organs beat within their own syncopated rhythm. The electronic music scene has had a considerable impact on my art so I love to mix tracks as a way to generate ideas for other artworks, even if those ideas never leave my head.  Posted now is a new mix for your listening pleasure.  Listen and let me know what you think.
