Music Bio:
Robb Green came
of age at the close of the eighties and the birth of the nineties.
He was largely influenced at the time by the likes of bands such as
Nine Inch Nails, The Beastie Boys, and Operation Ivy. But the story
really begins when Robb moved to Atlanta and was truly exposed to
both the Atlanta hip-hop and rave scenes. Having grown up in North
Carolina, he had only been able to glimpse what either of the two
might have been like.
Robb first started messing around with hip-hop records in 1995.
However, the break beat scene was converging on Atlanta and Mr.
Green was swept along with it. Breaks would come to be Robb's first
love, though after starting to play in this new genre he moved often
in the next two years, making it difficult for him to be able to
dedicate the space and time to playing and performing, instead
filling these gaps by going out and hitting parties to satisfy his
musical longings. He then found himself in Bend, OR where big beat
and house music pleased his ears. It was in Bend that Robb had his
first residency, Tekno Thursdays at The Eclipse playing any type of
techno he could find.
One
year later, Robb moved to Seattle armed with his love for music.
Luckily he found Beats International and Bryan Lyons, where he was
exposed to house music by Lyons, Wesley Holmes, Brent Lawrence, and
Jon Lee. Shortly after, Robb found himself opening for Bryan on
Saturday nights at The Noc Noc and playing deep house pretty
exclusively. In 2003, Robb was picked up by Tilted Records who
showed him the beauty of great friendship and found his very own
true love, electro house. With a label standing behind him and a
record store at his disposal, he dove head first into his new
passion.
In
2004, Robb met Recess and all things Shameless while running his
afterhours spot, Nightcap. He quickly took to the Shameless
attitude, finally feeling what had be missing from his musical
taste, things more edgy and down right dirty. Just like him.
Robb recently relocated in San Francisco where undoubtedly he will
indoctrinate the local alternative dance music scene in
the Shameless and Mr. Green ethos. Just remember, King Bobo
lives.
