Kai-Zen Resident DJ Roberto

"UK techno bastion " - Fabric Blog

"While Berlin has dominated the scene in recent years, the London based producer Roberto fuses underground Dutch Techno with deep Detroit
over-tones in a style unique to the UK" - Jamie Anderson

At the turn of the millennium Roberto used his precious savings at the age of 16 to buy his first set of turntables. After perfecting his craft for a few years, he decided that he would like to explore production.

After a prolonged stint exploring the spectrum of electronica, he found that he was gravitating towards house and techno. Producers such as Steve Rachmad, Samuel L Session and Robert Hood were drawing his attention, and their influence can be heard in his production and DJ
sets today.
His legendary DJ sets cover all aspects of techno to deep house but always with an emphasis on a Detroit-based groove. Over the last few years, he's played alongside the likes of Cesar Merveille, Robert Dietz, Jamie Anderson, Julian Chaptel & Kyle Hall at venues all over the UK and Europe.
