Rob's love affair with music began during his South London upbringing, immersed in Electro, Hip Hop, and UK Soul. His early fascination with DJing evolved from a hobby of mixing records to refine his craft as a scratch DJ, experimenting with innovative tape edits and basic equipment. His early productions, created using a Commodore 64 and Tascam 4-track, demonstrated a unique ability to merge Chicago and Detroit sounds with London’s emerging breakbeat and hardcore scene, paving the way for his involvement in pirate radio stations such as Energy 87.9 FM, Storm FM, Don FM, and Dream FM. These early experiences positioned Rob as a player in the Drum & Bass scene, where he released material under the alias Blinded by Science on Basement Records and founded his own Online Recordings imprint with then production partner Dave Ivy. By 1995, the expansion of his home studio into Online Studios in London enabled Rob to work with a wide array of artists, including Tippa Irie, Cedric Myton, Marc Almond, So Solid, UK Apache, and Sway. His production prowess earned him a co-writing and production credit on a UK chart-topping single, selling over 250,000 records. In the same year of 1999, he launched his Evasive Records imprint, which would become synonymous with cutting-edge underground House and Tech House, eventually releasing over 30 sought-after vinyl records over a number of years. More recently Evasive is enjoying a resurgence with Rob licensing his material to Nicola Cruz’s album as part of the hallowed Fabric compilation series and more particularly with Subwax (Barcelona) repressing Rob's Tech House back catalogue from the early Noughties and making new vinyl copies of these classics available on 12” wax once again.
