Not
only is RobKAY a man of immense dimensions, he is, more importantly,
a man of immense experience both behind the decks and in the studio.
As a DJ, you can be sure as hell that when RobKAY’s in the
driver’s seat you’re in for a thrilling ride. When he
teams up with musical maestro Ben Garden, he’s better known
as one half of internationally successful Australian production
outfits Cabin Crew and Aviators.
Growing
up in Canberra, Rob’s passion for music during his early years
saw a quick rise to the top, taking out ACT #1 DJ in the Technics
inthemix50 poll for two consecutive years. It wasn’t long
after that the call of the big smoke saw him move up to Sydney to
further his musical career as both DJ and Producer.
As
a DJ Rob has quickly established his name and trusty talents within
the Sydney club scene, with residencies and appearances at Sydney’s
hottest venues – including Kink @ The Arthouse, Tank, Moulin
Rouge, YU, as well interstate appearances everywhere from Perth
to Magnetic Island - testament to both his adaptability and the
popularity he commands. Internationally Rob has made guest appearances
from Dubai to the U.S.A.
Whilst
in the studio under the production guise of Aviators (with long
time friend Ben Garden), Rob’s initial projects were met with
early success, This included chart topping remixes of Craig Obey’s
Coolin at the Bar & Hyp-ma-tize-Me, Soul System’s Feels
So Good for Hed Kandi, as well as a string of sought after white
labels which ensured the Aviators name as a mainstay in record bags
across the globe. Their rework of SoulIISoul’s “Back
to Life” later went on to be picked up by US label, Soulfuric,
and most notably their release “Star2fall” (under the
production name Cabin Crew) was picked up by industry juggernauts
Ministry of Sound UK and anthem status ensued, with the track hitting
#3 in the UK singles chart as well as a licensing deal including
14 countries.
Absorbed
in remixing, under his collective aliases Aviators, Cabin Crew and
more recently under his own moniker, Rob has completed numerous
projects including remixes for Kaskade (In this life - #1 house
downloaded for 8 weeks in the house chart), Gaelle and more recently
Don Diablo.
2008
is off to a flying start for Rob, kicking off with a monster closing
set to 20,000 revelers at Summafieldayze music festival on Australia’s
Gold Coast. January will also see the release of Cabin Crew’s
follow up single “Can’t Stop It” with a blazing
remix package including mixes from Kaskade, Aviators & Mind
Electric.
