Robin is 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

I enjoyed your video Just my imagination, What brand Bass is that your playing on.
I’m playing a UBass…I’ve never owned a regular bass..yours sounds very much like what i’m looking for in a bass.
Thanks

Hiya Jeff. It’s a Lakland 44-51 skyline
Hi Robin,
I really like your album “One sweet life” and I just released a drum cover of System, trying to replicate the drums as much as I could which was a challenge. If you want to have a listen and tell me what you think that would be awesome.

Hi. I’d actually been listening to a lot of west african music, but i wasn’t trying to make an authentic replication! Glad it sounds like a legitimate something!
hello…first off i would just like to say your a brilliant musician & i am just figuring out who you are…i am a big zero 7 fan (i am fellow musician out in california) I have always wondered why there has not been any articles or more accolades for your playing in zero 7…even on google i had to see your picture to know that your the guy…now i have to get busy checking out all the stuff you have been doing as well…totally dig your playing gonna immerse myself into the videos & all the stuff in brotherly (& all the other projects) i totally look forward to it & hope one day your name is there with pino paladino & jaco (i tell friends not familiar with zero 7 when i play it for them that your like pino & jaco rolled into one…much respect & hope you read this
Lovely comment. Thanks Oliver!
Hey, Robin.
I’m curious what DAW and drum machine software you used for One Sweet Life?
Thanks!
Hi Jack. I used Cubase and an MPC200xl
