The next generation of electronic-dance music has arrived, and it involves a familiar name that is a staple to the EDM community: Rob Robinson.
Meet the Robinson Brothers
For any fans of EDM, the name Porter Robinson is sure to ring a bell. Porter has been involved in the community for quite some time. So much so, that he is one of the names that is instantly thrown out when referencing electronic dance music. Along with the likes of Illenium, David Guetta, Avicii, and Madeon, Porter Robinson has carved out his own place in EDM in a way that has memorialized his presence in the genre. He is best known for his electrohouse beats and synth-pop productions. And now, it seems he has paved the way for his younger brother, Rob Robinson, to enter the scene.
Rob Robinson’s Roots
Rob Robinson debuted in EDM with his first single, “Evangelina,” which dropped in April of 2022. Since, he has only released a handful of tracks. This includes an earlier track in March, “Next Life,” featuring artists bese and Albizia. Most recently, “Unprepared” dropped mid-July. And it is a track that definitely sets itself apart from the rest.
With waves of nostalgia embedded in each beat, “Unprepared” embarks on a very Robinson-esque journey that rides the line of synthpop and electrohouse in a strangely familiar way. Upon its release, fans complimented the track for its ability to mix the highlights of old-school EDM with new-school approaches. This production skillset, paired with the airy, dreamy vocals creates a solid foundation for Rob Robinson’s future in EDM.
Lastly, see the unique cover art for the single above. It utilizes an art style found in Rob’s other tracks as well. If you couldn’t tell that the younger Robinson brother was taking a different stylistic approach by sound, then you can definitely tell via his choice in cover art as well.
