"ROBERT BABICZ Live @ The Vaults (Fri 27th June)"

	Robert Babicz Live @ The Vaults, 27th June 08	567 dni temu
	On Friday 27th June 2008 in The Vaults, GET:music will be presenting one of the most pioneering figures ever to set foot into the world of electronic dance music, Robert Babicz. A master of innovation and reinvention, Robert has managed to evolve through a myriad of mutations and as a result, remain at the forefront of cutting-edge electronic music for nearly 20 years. Throughout his career, Robert has continuously pushed the boundaries of electronic dance music to new levels, in both production and live performance. A career spanning nearly 20 years, Robert Babicz is a name that is engraved into the history of electronic dance music. Right after the phenomenon of Chicago and deep house, techno began to establish itself as a brand new and totally original part of youth culture. In 1989, the year the wall came down, Berlin witnessed the first big techno happenings like Love Parade and Teknozid. But Cologne also saw many new clubs like the Space club or the Sweatbox. Pioneers of these days were Reinhard and Wolfgang Voigt (now running the Kompakt empire), The Modernist, Mate Galic, Roland Casper and Rob Acid (aka Robert Babicz). Robert’s first release “Happy answer” became an unexpectedly big hit. Especially in the UK, on the label London Records the track storms the charts at the same time as M.A.R.R.S. “Pump up the volume” and “Theme from s- express”. More and more acid house influenced records come out and soon they dominate club culture. At the end of the 90s Robert withdrew somewhat in order to reflect and to reinvent himself. He began to produce records as Atlon Inc and Dicabor, with an identity completely opposite to that of Rob Acid productions. The quality and the sound standard of these ambient projects become more and more important in his work and improved immensely as Robert began to master new equipment and techniques. In 2001, Robert, together with Marc Romboy and Klaus Derichs, created a new platform called Shortcut Recordings dedicated to Robert’s club tracks. After a period of calm and relaxed tracks it was now time to pump up the volume and raise the BPMs again. His productions become very techno influenced at this stage, moving away from his acid house influences. After the collaboration between Robert and Marc Romboy on the label Le Petit Prince, Romboy went on to create Systematic Recordings in the summer of 2004 and asked Robert to remix his first single with the Detroit legend Blake Baxter and also to do a new version for Berlin’s house impresario Phonique. With his remixes and his own productions beginning to cause a stir within the scene, Robert went on to release singles on high profiled imprints like Kompakt, Treibstoff and Steve Bug’s Audiomatique. More success followed with tracks like”Sin” and his remix of Gui Boratto’s “Decay”, and in 2007, Robert went on to produce his debut artist album. “A Cheerful Temper” went on to receive plaudits from every angle of the electronic music world, being hailed by many as one of the finest electronic albums of the last few years. Those who are following Robert’s career over the years know that his sound and the standard of his productions reach almost audiophile standards. No surprise then that many well known artists like Gabriel Ananda, Minilogue and Martinez request his special abilities for mastering their productions. One reason for his famous sound stems in part from his collection of old analogue equipment (even from the 60s and 70s) which Robert uses alongside his computer. Besides drum machines like the famous Roland TR808 and TR909, Robert owns a variety of unique machines like special effects and EQs the size of living rooms, some taken from German TV stations to edit their movies and crime shows. He even uses equalizers used by the secret service and compressors used by East German radio stations. It is no wonder then that the sound quality of his album and his productions are both graceful and crystal clear. Now in 2008, we are witnessing another huge chapter in the Robert Babicz story. Building on the success of his masterpiece that is "A Cheerful Temper" and also some massive releases in late 07, such as "A Night In Melbourne" and his remix of Pierce & Twirdy's "Cuaba", Robert had begun to once again re-invent his sound and re-establish himself as one of dance music's leading names. Some breath-taking live performances and the instant success of both his "Dont Look Back/Krystaline" EP on Kompakt and his remix of Dan Corco's "New World", further enhanced his refound glory within the scene and also prepared Robert for releasing one of the records of the year so far. His "Dark Flower" EP, featuring the already anthemic Joris Voorn remix, has gone on to be one of the biggest selling EP's this year and has broken through all genres to be recognised as a worldwide floorfiller. With more big-scale releases such as "Basic" and "Nuda" coming out in the next few weeks and also extensive touring of the Babicz Live show, 2008 is set to be another milestone in the Robert Babicz era. GET:music are delighted to be showcasing a true pioneer in the world of electronic dance music. Robert Babicz is an artist who defines reinvention, as he has successfully evolved throughout nearly 20 years within the dance industry and yet, in terms of music production and live performance, remains as one of the most technically advanced artists around. This live performance from Robert is one not to be missed so come on down to The Vaults to watch this Cologne based wizard weave his way through the blissfully rich and textured techno, minimal and house sounds that have cemented his place among the dance music elite. www.robertbabicz.de www.myspace.com/robertbabicz
