Biografía
- It’s no secret that in 2006 Livio & Roby feat. George G aka Monochrome, Romania’s representatives in the Heinken Music Thirst Studio final in Las Vegas, confirmed with their succes that Heineken reached its objectives. After winning both prizes, “The..Monochrome (Livio & Roby feat. George G) from Bucharest, Romania, won the Heineken Thirst Studio Global competition which searched the globe for up and coming producer talent. As part of their prize they worked with Gabriel and Dresden on their track Pearl in the legendary Palm Studios in Las Vegas. Before getting to play in Europe and America alongside Steve Lawler, Sasha, John Digweed, Danny Howells, Groove Armada, Gabriel & Dresden, Erick Morillo, Sander Kleinenberg, Booka Shade, Luciano, Desyn Masiello, Lee Burridge, Carl Cox, 2manydjs, Audiofly, Scarlett Etienne, Tiësto, to name just a few, the Romanian DJs and producers called Monochrome dedicated all their passion and time into music. Livio is a highly regarded DJ and producer on the Romanian electronic scene and increasingly the international circuit with over 10 years experience under his belt. Robert Precup aka Roby got into DJing after 10 years of production in alternative and electronic projects. He played both piano and guitar, wrote music for various films and documentaries, TV / radio commercials and found his production match when he met Livio, in 2004. Together they started to DJ and produce under the Livio & Roby alias. Since then, they have been produced tracks that are increasingly included on the international DJ chart. In 2005, three of their productions, Bitter Sweet (Terrace Mix), Headz On and Out Of Bass were included on Steve Lawler's compilation - Lights Out 3 (Global Underground). The tracks were released on labels like Stereo and Global Underground (Lights Out 3 - Disc Sampler part 1). More recently, tracks appeared on compilations like Steve Lawler’s Viva [Ministry of Sound] and Hernan Cattaneo’s Sequential Vol.2 [Renaissance], resulting in Livio & Roby becoming Viva Music artists and being heavily supported by Steve Lawler. Along with George G., working under the name of Monochrome, they have a series of already and yet to be released tracks. Productions like Mondovista, Cascade, Break, Cristal, Supercar, Monochrome are still hitting the dance floors worldwide, and been released on labels like Viva Music, Solace Digital Trax, Only Records…etc. As a live act, Monochrome raises the energy on the dance floor. In the summer of 2007 Monochrome were the ones that opened up the first edition of the Romanian edition of B’ESTIVAL for artists like Morcheeba, Hooverphonic and Faithless. Monochrome also played in Las Vegas, Seattle, New York, Croatia, Amsterdam – at both worldwide known festival - Dance Valley - and music exhibition - Amsterdam Dance Event - where they represented the Eastern Europe music industry at seminaries and played during the amazing events that take place there every year. By the end of 2007 they saw themselfs "traped" in the studio producing tracks for their first album called Monochrome - "Children of House FWD 01" [Ido Music] which was celebrated in Romania with an amazing album launch party at Studio Martin and will soon be available worldwide and working at new live sets. The next live will be on the 1st of March at Sala Polivalenta where Monochrome will play alonside Chicane (live), Jeff Mills and M.A.N.D.Y. If you think you seen it all, stay tuned because this was just the beginning. "Winning Thirst Studio was a deserved victory for them, their track 'Pearl' is a simmering minimal house track that could easily warp dancefloors out of recognition. Already having contributed to Steve Lawler mix compilations, it's clear that 'Pearl' is another step in the journey towards stardom."
