Biografía

  • London-based musician and producer. Debut album 'Green' out for physical/digital on UK label Yen.
    While Rob Shields’ music may sit conveniently under the ‘dance music’ banner, its emphasis lies more in the space it creates, it's atmosphere and the emotions that it brings. By using delicately layered textures of live instrumentation and found sounds, the London based producer’s take on deep house and electronica is fitting as the soundtrack to daydreams and introspection, as well as dancefloors and after-parties. This focus on warmth and texture has been documented on his releases to date; the melancholic Slum Room single, the bubbling balearic Autocalm EP, the dubby, slo-mo single Shards, and his recently acclaimed debut album Green, gaining praise from artists like Maya Jane Coles, Groove Armada and Soul Clap. Words often bandied about to describe the music include “wonderfully crafted”, “beautiful” and “elegant” from artists and producers alike. Already Rob has performed a number of high-profile gigs including Dimensions in Croatia, Secret Solstice in Iceland for four years running, Secret Garden Party in the UK, and a short tour of Japan. Rob has also ventured into other areas of art and music; composing for an art installation in London’s Crypt Gallery, and performing on stage at the Barbican theatre with experimental band Boredoms. Rob’s debut album Green is out for physical/digital on UK label Yen.
