Robin is also known for his involvement with the UK broken beat movement, producing two ground-breaking LPs fusing his academic jazz background with the contemporary dance aesthetic in the band Brotherly. The music appealed to “muso’s” and soul loving crate diggers alike and has won him international accolades for his challenging yet approachable arrangements, incorporating woozy tempo shifts and cheeky harmonic devices.
Robin is currently on tour with Jacob Collier
