Robert DeLong

2012 has been a pretty amazing year for new music but I think that one of the most original artists has been left to top it all off!  Robert Delong, a name that in no time at all will be universally known across every dance party playlist and atop the requet hotline of every radio station game enough to play his tracks!


A Genre jumping mix up of folk inspired lyrics, exotic drum beats and electro house rythems blend up better than your favourate Christmas inspired cocktail. 

This baby faced music visionary has kicked off his journey as a solo artist after saying goodbye to his day job as the drummer in a folk band.  His stage setup will blow your mind, full drum kits, drum pads, laptops, keyboards and wait for it..... a Wii and Sega game controllers that alter the effects via his movement.   This one man seamlessly loops his electro beats, sweet as lyrics and his high energy stage show as good as any four piece band that has come before him!

Meandering around the stage from one piece of equiptement to another he consumes the crowd with the beat while conecting soulfully with the lyric, this kid is something special!

Not for everyone and defiantly not for anyone offended by an expletive or ten but seriously this tune will get stuck in your head and make you want to dance!

The lyrics in this track are thought provoking and intuitive, the complete opposite to the norm when you speak of dance music, take the time to have a read while you listen.  The second vid below is a short piece recorded live which gives you a bit of a teaser to his live performance!  Hope your ready....
