Roebin de Freitas, part of a young and vibrant belgian electronic music scene, has followed a prosperous path in his young career. Roebin has been picked up by major players within the local scene like Kozzmozz, the famous Fuse club and a string of dates at the Decadance club. Roebin has surpassed the border a couple of times and it goes without saying this young chap has already impressed many...
Roebin de Freitas' style could best be described as dubby, percussive and gritty. Always looking for a deep, sensual and introvert sound whilst being heavily influenced by the relationship between Detroit and Berlin. For him, institutes like the M-series, Studio 1, DBX and Juan Atkins are never forgotten. On the other hand, Roebin is sensitive towards new and upcoming artists whoms material are tools for him to carry out his message. It's all about something old, something new, something borrowed, something moody blue.
On the productional front Roebin emerges on the vinyl and netlabel circuit with releases under the prolific Curle label and Belgian netlabel Coincidence. After being asked to be on the latest Sinergy Networks compilation, Roebin took a step in a new direction. An experimental track on the Jon7.net label got him a chance to explore the experimental "IDM" side of his brain. Here Roebin shows his early love for '90's electronica artists like Autechre, Monolake, Aphex Twin, ... A more personal approach resulting in a free downloadable album.Furthermore another full EP has seen the daylight on the german Kubism imprint and later on this year, another EP for spanish Calima, sublabel to Klitekture.
Now two years further down the road, and a few releases under his belt, the future looks pretty promising for young Roebin. Be sure to keep an eye and an ear open.
