Intro

Robert DeLong is a multi-instrumentalist and producer who emerged in the early 2010s as a pioneer of the 'live electronic' movement. Originally a drummer for various indie rock bands in Los Angeles, he transitioned into electronic production by applying his percussion background to MIDI controllers and hacked gaming hardware.

This unique technical approach allowed him to bridge the gap between the organic energy of a rock show and the precision of a DJ set. His breakthrough came with the 2013 album 'Just Movement,' which showcased his ability to weave house, dubstep, and moombahton into cohesive pop structures. Flay and ASHE. His work is often cited for its high production value and its thematic focus on identity, technology, and the human condition. Critically, he is respected for his technical virtuosity and his ability to maintain a distinct 'indie' soul within the often anonymous world of EDM.
