With a DJ career that spans well over two decades (he started DJing at 16) and a passion for music that surpasses most of us mere mortals. Rob Milton is best known in the UK & London for his part as co-founder and original DJ at the infamous Dirt Box parties that were notorious for their hit and run guerrilla tactics in the halcyon days of London club culture. No venue was safe from the back to basics ethics of Phil & Rob Dirt Box. From it’s humble beginnings in a strip club above an all night chemist in Earls Court they quickly established a “back to basics” following from London’s hippest clubbers. Bring your own booze and do your own thing!Immortalised in the Face magazine by Robert Elms the Dirt Box spawned a generation of DIY parties and dress down fashion. From warehouse to strip club to nightclub-they went anywhere they could set up a sound system and invite their mates. It was like a house party on tour and everyone knew everyone. The Dirt Box even travelled to Bournemouth for the bank holiday weekends and managed to entice a large following of revellers from the big smoke. But all good things come to an end and after three years of hedonism the Dirt Box duo went their seperate ways with Rob getting more and more DJ bookings at other venues.Soon he had Saturday night residencies at Raw (with Dave Dorrell) at the YMCA in Tottenham Court Road and the Warehouse @ the Electric Ballroom in Camden. And regular guest spots at Philip Salon’s Mud Club, the Wag, Le Beat Route ,Gossips, Legends and numerous one-off parties and club nights in the capital as well as regular spots in Brighton & Manchester.A desire for something different lead Rob to try his luck on the other side of the world and in 1988 left London for Australia…In Sydney Rob is best known for his part as co-promoter and resident DJ of Sydney’s infamous Kings Cross club the Underground Café. The late lamented HIGH TIMES & DELICIOUS nights were two of the most popular club nights in Sydney’s clubbing history. They were the epitome of all that was good about the house scene - no hype, no bulls**t , just pure sexy house!Both nights ran for an incredible six years from 1995-2001 and were constantly voted in the top three club nights in Sydney, with Rob being touted as one of the best “funky” house DJs in After emigrating to Sydney he was responsible for setting up the LOVE parties with Sugar Ray, which paved the way for the huge Sydney house scene in the early Nineties. He also returned to his funk and soul roots and helped dish out the ultra funky rare grooves at the late lamented Funk Inc parties- a style which he still loves to play.Over the years Rob has played at most major Sydney clubs and bars as well as touring throughout Australia on a nationwide “Delicious” tour which also took in an extensive tour of New Zealand. Plus gigs in the UK, Europe and Asia.After the closure of the Underground Rob took up resident DJ slots at Home and Yu as well as guest spots at clubs all over town. Also a regular on Sydney’s airwaves – hosting his own daily afternoon shows on Radio Dex and Rhythm FM.He then immersed himself into music production releasing two of Australia’s biggest house tracks co written and produced with GT (Groove Terminator) - the anthemic (and still much sort after) “Same Old Thing” by LOVERUSH (voted Australian dance track of the year by 3D magazine) and the excellent follow up “Love 2 See Ya (Dancin’)”. Both tracks were picked up for release in the UK on Credence and Azuli records respectively.Rob went back to his funk and disco roots and put together the essential “GROOVE ORIGINALS” Volumes 1 & 2 - compilation series for Festival and Crash Bang records. Which consisted of those original soul/funk and disco tunes that were being sampled for today’s dance tracks. Which was a formula that preceded the huge influx of similar compilations from around the world.Recently Rob has been taking more time out in the studio to record an album and single projects. First up is a brand new single release forthcoming on Ministry of Sound/Hussle records. “Keep it Right There” by ULTRAPHONIC (co written with Sydney producer Tony Vass) which encompasses all the essential ingredients that makes you wanna dance your ass off – which is all together an apt description of his DJ sets. Rob is currently back in the UK putting the finishing touches to a few current music production projects.
