Description
First album for Melting Pot Music by Brooklyn based UK-producer
Daylight Robbery fusing Jazz and Hip-Hop!
Intergalactic Jazz fused with Hip-Hop – Think Nujabes and Pete Rock remix
a Lonnie Liston Smith album arranged by David Axelrod. We realise that’s
far too much name-dropping for two sentences, but it describes the sound
and vision of UK born producer Rob Waite aka Daylight Robbery quite well.
Rob grew up in London and Frankfurt before moving to Brooklyn, New York
where “Moons of Jupiter” – his first album for Melting Pot Music – was
recorded.
“The sonic identity of the music is my homage to all the amazing jazz fusion
records that came out between 71 and 74, fused with a 90s Hip-Hop vibe I
struggle to get away from” Rob explains. “With the help of some amazing
musician friends I was able to move beyond loop based sampling
techniques and take a step towards a more free flowing Jazz focused
energy.”
The album title “Moons of Jupiter” and the song titles refers to the 80 known
moons of Jupiter that form a satellite system called the Jovian system. 12 of
these moons are visited throughout the listening experience, starting in the
light and progressively moving into darkness. The album will be available
on LP and digital. The artwork has been created by Cologne-based
illustrator Giza One.
