Robert Gordon

Robert Gordon’s impact on the audio and path of U.K. techno and electronica is certainly hardly recommended by his discography, which include only a small number of EPs and an individual full-length. One of the primary to mix the techno audio of Detroit with an increase of pronounced electro, brand-new influx, and techno-pop affects, Gordon produces under such brands as XON, Unique 3, Sector, and (one of the most recognizable from the number) Forgemasters are usually considered the bottom zero from the U.K. bleep and smart techno styles today associated with performers such as for example Richard Kirk and LFO. A indigenous of Sheffield, Gordon was the creator of Warp Information, by which he released his debut (along with Shaun Maher and Winston Hazel) as Forgemasters, “Monitor without Name,” in 1992. He was a contributor to Unique 3’s now-legendary “The Theme” (although he had not been acknowledged), and Gordon-related produces have made an appearance on such brands as FON, Network, and David Moufang’s Supply imprint. Supply released his just single full-length to time, Tasks, in 1996, and a full-length cooperation with Pete Namlook, Ozoona, also made an appearance in the latter’s Fax label that same season. The majority of Gordon’s most recognizable function, however, continues to be for other performers, and his creation discography contains Pop Will Eat Itself, Cabaret Voltaire, DJ Mink, Yazz, the Individual Group, and Stacey Q, among numerous others.
