Livio & Roby

About the artist

Deep in the Romanian wilderness, beyond the foggy wastelands and the drab greyness of the metropolitan district you can find the base of two musical wizards who invoke the spirit of the past to transmit a very modern interpretation of their nation's musical traditions. They are known as Livio & Roby and they have been putting their own supernatural twist on house and techno for the past 10 years. Their sound has been channeled via highly influential outlets such as Desolat, VIVa, Saved and Fumakilla and their physical presence has been felt from Buenos Aires to Detroit, and across much of Europe. From dynamic DJ sets and innovative live performances to album projects and a constant flow of cutting edge, dancefloor-based productions the duo remain one of their nation's leading lights in the field. Today, their endless travels continue, as does their entrancing musical output, from EPs with labels such as Vakant, One Records and Cecille through to their debut Premiesku album, Indirect which came via Desolat. They released their own concept album, titled Phantom Circle on Desolat and co-produced each track with one of ten different artists: Enzo Siragusa, Martin Buttrich, Guti, Julian Perez, Hector, Cesar Merveille, Andrea Oliva and Premiesku. With shows at legendary venues such as Printworks London already under their belts the story continues as the duo continue to innovate and carry on the legacy of their ancestors.
