Most dj’s and artists have to create a name that reflects the music they make or play but thanks to Harris Robotis’ parents, he got to spend more time working on beats then trying to come up with a brand as he was born Harris Robotis. This Melbourne boy is getting labeled as the next big party robot to come out Australia and he’s made crowds of 50 people to 15,000 people lose their shit time and time again. You can name drop all you like these days, but Harris has shared stages with some of the biggest boys and girls in the business such as Sebastian, Kavinsky, Uffie, MSTRKRFT, Digitalism, Boysnoize, D.I.M and even Sven Vath...
With original productions / remixes are getting loads of sneaky attention in blog land, he has already remixed the likes of Goose, The Emergency, Mathematikal and Vanshe but coming out this April is Harris’ awaited debut "Up all night". The release got picked up by Jaimie Fanatic’s (Holland’s Fidget House Pimp) "Groove Fanatics" label and will also include remixes from Knightlife, Mathematikal and Jaimie Fanatic himself. So I kid you not, there’s nothing fake about this Robot.
