Melbourne born & bred, mostly self-taught Minimal superstar that is Rob Lewis had a chat with us recently, and wow-wee! At only 22 years-young of age, been DJ’ing and causing a ruckus around town for about the last 5 years, and producing the goods for the last few years – he has definitely made an impact and set the benchmark in the Melbourne club scene.
From having an early interest into dance music during his high-school years, listening to artists like Daft Punk rock the Ministry of Sound Sessions 1 & 2, to having multiple tracks breaking the Top 20 Beatport charts.
“My most recent set versus T-Rek on the Wah Wah Boat Cruise was probably my favourite gig – there wasn’t an overly large crow or anything but it was such an enjoyable set, and I was wrapped to play with someone I regard so highly as a DJ.”
The old-school minimal & techno sounds of Joel Fletcher, the highly creative and versatile Deadmau5, the international superstars Glitter, Min & Mal, Avrosse, The time spent in clubs seeing the great local DJ’s such as Boogs & T-Rek perform to such a high standard all inspire Rob to strive further and continually improve his abilities.
“I find actually finalizing a song to be the most difficult; I usually spent a lot of time on tedious detail when a song is near completion. It takes a lot of “tweaking” before I’m happy to call a song finished.”
You can catch Rob doing his thang (which is something you surely don’t want to miss) regularly at Korova Milkbar, Wah Wah Lounge and Dakota, with other guest stops all around Melbourne & Geelong.
Word on the street is there are a few fresh originals in the brew and a huge colab with Chris Bullen that aren’t too far off the press. Keep your eye on him at www.soundcloud.com/roblewis or head to his Facebook page at www.facebook.com/rob-lewis-dj.
