Bio:
sLEdger is London based DJ / Producer Robin Dallison who has released and
remixed under various disguises such as Dobbs, Rob Vision and The Escapist on
labels like Soundgarden, Tici Taci, Stripped, Redshift, Sinister, Pegdoll, Global
Underground and Music To Die For.
Robin began his musical life as a drummer, and then like so many others was caught
by the rave bug. Stints on pirate radio station Dream FM in Leeds (UK) soon caught
the ear of legendary club promoter Dave Beer and gigs around Leeds and
Manchester followed, at places like Back To Basics, and Humbug in Manchester,
sharing the bill with people people like Mr Scruff, and Luke Una. This led to his first
taste of production in Spirit Studios Manchester with the legend that is Simon
Noble (Breeder) sitting in on a couple of sessions. A move to London followed and
Robin immersed himself in the Progressive / Breakbeat and Belearic electronic
scenes, DJ’ing at legendry clubs like Turnmills & Elements, as well as touring
Europe alongside people like Rui Da Silva and the late Jonathan Lisle from
Bedrock (RIP).
Along the way his releases have gained support from some of the biggest players in
electronic music, his breakbeat based work as ‘The Escapist’ and ‘Dobbs’ was
played Annie Nightingale (RIP) & Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 1, as well as
John Digweed on his Kiss radio show .
sLEdger’s more recent releases don’t easily sit in any genre, the slower more
Balearic productions have caught the ear of Laurent Garnier, and Sean Johnston
from the legendary ALFOS club night, who described sLEdger’s track ‘Popper’ as
“One of the ‘tunes of 2024’. sLEdger’s more ‘Progressive House’ sounding releases
have been supported by Nick Warren from the start, Nick has also remixed 2 of
sLEdgers tunes. Then more recently Sasha championed the track ‘Hardcore Angel’
at a raft of his gigs, hence the release being snapped up by Music To Die For !
sLEdger has also remixed many artists including Fluke, Dark Globe, and Boy
George. The Boy George remix has now racked up over 150,000 streams on Spotify
alone. sLEdger’s music is a mixture of Deep electronic, progressive, breaks, indie
dance, rave and dubby balearic influences. Whether it’s a banger or chilled ,
sLEdger always delivers something a little different, and in these times of generic /
genre based music that can only be a good thing.
