DJ RobJob is one of the many exciting new DJs coming out of the vibrant San Francisco dance club, and was Resident DJ at the legendary underground club, Pink, up to its recent closure. DJ RobJob playfully expands ways to blend the new with the old – his musical influences are rooted in the 70s funk and disco sounds, spinning tracks that team these sounds with those across House genres. You’ll certainly hear Funky House and Pumpin’ House in his spins, with a tasty mix of World, Progressive, Electro, and Tech house tracks too. His DJ influences include Axwell, Dimitri from Paris, DJ Funsko and Joey Beltram. The result is an upbeat, infectious and bouncy set – the kind of dance music that you just can’t stop your body from moving to.

“Today’s dance music is so diverse, but we wouldn’t be here now if it weren’t for the early funk and disco innovators to build upon,” says DJ RobJob. “I love a modern sound that pays homage to the club music that sent seventies hipsters like my parents to the dance floor. Call it the new old, that’s fresh and hot now."

University trained as a computer engineer, DJ RobJob is analytical in his approach to club DJing. He prepares meticulous notes about each track to ensure play set coherence and adaptability to crowd energy. At the same time, he keeps high focus on the aesthetic and emotional pull of an engaging club beat, knowing how a great DJ can paint a soundscape that draws us to the dance floor in rhythmic frenzy. Having won over the San Francisco dance club scene, DJ RobJob is expanding his following worldwide. He completed a very successful international tour this past summer, spinning at leading clubs across Asia. DJ RobJob also performed for 80,000 ravers at LoveFest 2008, the largest outdoor electronic music festival in the Americas.

Trained musically on the saxophone at age eight, DJ RobJob played in several funky jazz bands. In the eighties, he started to experiment with electronic music as he tinkered with his first computer – it was natural to then morph his creative interests into computer generated music, DJing and mixing. DJ RobJob later refined his DJ skills under the mentorship of renowned international DJ, Tall Sasha (www.tallsasha.com). DJ RobJob is also the co-founder of Liftoff Productions (a SF-based event management company), a Resident DJ with the DJ4LIFE Academy (largest DJ training school in SF area), and Advisor to www.mixmatchmusic.com (the #1 online music remix collaboration site). With his remaining free time, DJ RobJob is working on his own collection of remix productions, a new release is expected for later this year.
