From his thumping techno output as Rob Acid from the early ‘90s onwards to his immaculate productions of today, Robert Babicz has always been a revered and highly talented figure in the German electronic scene. As the vogue for cool, melodic tech exploded in the last 5 years with Booka Shade and co. at the helm, he’s found himself an increasingly sought-after force. Thanks to Joris Voorn’s stunning remix of his track Dark Flower in 2008 (our top remix of the year, no less), he escalated into the most highly-regarded producers in dance music – and with his attention to detail, love of strong melody and skill with a sexy groove, it’s no surprise.
If you haven’t picked up his new album Immortal Changes, you’re in for a treat – and this podcast is the perfect introduction. Nothing but his own stunning work, it features tracks from the albums alongside other singles and new bits. Absolutely sublime.
Babiczstyle, Robert's new label, will be the platform for his Warm / Beautifully Produced / Highly Original / Driving House music launching in July the first release REMOTE KISS can be heard exclusively at
