With a music career already spanning nearly two decades, comprising four albums and multiple
singles, some could think that...

ROBERT BABICZ would be ready to settle down for a quiet life, however, nothing could be
further from the truth. With his fourth full length due to drop in March 2010 on Systematic
Recordings, Robert Babicz continues to reveal his talent and skill as one of Europe's most
essential techno producers.

Straight out of Cologne in 1993, under the pseudonym Rob Acid, Babicz released his first
single Happy Answer on London Records, which unexpectedly became a huge club hit.
With the rise of acid house influenced records dominating the charts, Babicz was able to
ride high on this new wave of club culture.

In addition to becoming an in demand live performer using one of his other names,
Acid Warrior, Babicz started to release singles on high profile imprints like Kompakt,
Treibstoff and Steve Bug's Audiomatique, as well as his own label, Junkfood. In what
Rob appropriately dubs "the rave years" in the mid-nineties, he was already playing all
over the world.

During this time Babicz teamed up with Mate Galic and psychedelic sonic experiences
of every kind followed, which as Rob himself sums up perfectly came as a result of
"excessive sound-research and absurd parties, transistor radio and porn films on big screen".
His affiliation with Force Inc a few years later brought a series of more experimental,
less dancefloor-orientated works which suggested his theoretical musique concrete roots.

By the turn of the new millennium, Babicz was striving for a different sound and thus began
a new label, Shortcut. At the same time, he received multiple requests for sound design from
hard and software producers, most notably resulting in the presets he produced for Native
Instruments. In 2007 Robert released his landmark record, A Cheerful Temper on Systematic
Recordings, which expertly moves between electronica, techno, minimal and classic house.

Playing 'live' has always been a key feature of Babicz's authentic musicianship; improvising
instead of reeling off pre-determined sets has made his celebrated shows unquestionably
unique events. He consistently delivers astonishing performances of his own productions built
around warm melodies, blissed atmospherics & analogue bass - sometimes jacking, but
mostly tripping and always around the foundations of his first love: techno. Consequently,
Babicz has more than proven his worth in the world of dance music and his right to the title
of pioneer and innovator, whether producing tech house, minimal or acid techno.

With the release of Immortal Changes in early 2010, described by DJ Mag as a "marriage of
organic groove and glistening electronic melodies" and the recent launch of his own record
label, BABICZSTYLE, it is clear that Robert Babicz still has much more to give...
