An excellent Double Bass, Piano and Guitar player, Rob Sparx has been writing and DJing dance music since the late 90s. Robs first release in Jan 2004 “Rob the Builder – Can you fix it”, was the start of a wave of drum n bass releases on Twisted Individual’s label’s Grid, Zombie and Up Yours. Rob has also released DNB on Formation records, Propaganda (GDub), Vibez (Subject13) and label/distributor Z-Audio. Never one to be pigeonholed Rob soon experimented with other genres producing breaks, house/electro and dubstep on various labels including Drum n Breaks and Blurred Vision. Rob finally settled on dubstep as his main style of music and now releases music on labels including Z-Audio, Audiophreakz, On the Edge, Dubting and Dubout. He also writes trance for Armin Van Buren’s Armada imprint and owns 2 of his own dubstep labels “Sour Grapes” and “Migration”. Next year he will be launching a 3rd label “Sub Horizon” and releasing some new DNB material.


Owing to the diverse range of music he produces Robs tunes have been played by a wide selection of DJ’s including: Zane Lowe, Kissysellout, Eddy Temple Morris, Nerm, Pathaan, Joe Ransom, Skream, N-Type, Distance, Benga, Darkside, TRG, N-Type, Scientist, Walsh, Rusko, Tes La Rok, Sukh Knight, Grooverider, Bryan G, Bailey, Dieselboy, LDouble, Marky, Nicky Blackmarket, Flyte, Ash Attack, James Zabelia, Nick Warren, Anthony Pappa, Laurent Garnier, Colin Dale, Gabriel Ananda, Quivver and 10Sui! Robs tunes have featured on stations including Radio 1, 1XTRA (In mixes on Mary Anne Hobbs show plus a set & interview on Nerms Electro East show), KissFM, RinseFM and Ministry Radio. Artists Rob has worked with include Distance, Cyrus (Random Trio), Reso, Propatingz, TRG, El-B, Tunnidge (Deep Medi), Numbernin6, Synkro, Radikal Guru, Bar9, Nero, Subject13, Phantasy & Shodan, Twisted Individual, Zen, Sharooz, Tom Pooks, Pablo Bolivar & Mike Foyle (Armada).


2009 saw the release of Rob’s 2cd debut album “Trooper” with vinyl samplers which includes remixes from Distance, TRG, Reso, Bar9, Synkro & Indigo and received many great reviews from magazines such as Knowledge (“an unpretentious masterpiece”), IDJ (“impressive throughout”), ATM (“Very well produced dubstep”) and websites like Getdarker (“A well crafted mix of tracks”). Since finishing the album last year Rob has hit the DJing playing alongside the likes of Skream, Benga, Caspa & Joker plus touring all over the world with gigs in Europe, USA, Australia & New Zealand.
