If you meet the voice of house music face to face, he is so gentle, relaxed and he smiles like a young boy who just has finished building up his Lego Star Wars spaceship. His charisma and vibrancy is always warm like his velvet timbre. His life was an up and down – in some ways very artful, esthetic, elaborate, as well as rough, decent and thrilling. With all that house music history, club life, rave experiences, cat walk jobs in the fashion industry, and over hundred cooperations with producers and dozen labels, Robert Owens is a moderate, down to earth person.
After the 2008 released album “Night-time Stories” on Compost, which featured eleven new tracks by eleven different producers, now he teamed up with four producers for drawing 19 songs, to get a stronger homogeneous album in various moods and tempi. Among his old time friend and house pioneer Larry Heard (Fingers Inc), Atjazz, Beanfield and Show-B, all approved and respected producers for working with vocals, able to slow it down or keeping the emotional house vibe at attested bpm’s.
“Art” offering not only more songs, it offers more variety isochronal being more homogeneous. CD1 (Vault 1) contains the down- to midtempi or more calm tunes, while CD2 (Vault 2) pumping through Robert’s house history in the old and new school vein.
