Rob's blog

I just came back from Toscane, Italy where I spent 2 weeks enjoying the Food, country, sea and sun! Now I am completely reloaded ready for a new season with a lot of exiting things coming up!

My new cd “Tunnelvision” (produced by Mark de Clive-Lowe) will see the light. At the moment I am rearanging songs for the live gigs coming up, starting with the CD-presentation kick off in Paradiso, Amsterdam (oktober 27th). For more dates see my calender.

11th of oktober we will do a single-release of “Common Ground” featuring Ivar. Here’s a little preview snippet:
Common Ground - Rob van de Wouw ft Ivar (snippet)

Mark de Clive-Lowe did a club remix of this song. I will let you know here when and how it’s going to be released. Here’s a little preview of that as well:

Also we recorded a new CD with the Rotterdam Jazz Orchestra. Its called: “Suite to T”. Our conductor/composer Johan Plomp wrote a suite with peaces dedicated to each induvidual member of the orchestra. We recorded it in 2 days in April in Fattoria Musica in Osnabruck, Germany.

The release will be on september 17th in De Doelen, Rotterdam. Click for more info about this concert.

Tom Trago will do a remix of a track called “filthy fingers”!  The original will appear on my new album “Tunnelvision” 

I am very happy and can’t wait to hear it!! This is the place where you will here more about it and how it’s going to be released! 

Tom Trago (1983):

With a love of the old and a hunger for the new Tom Trago is continuously stretching his DJ and production boundaries. Tom Trago comes from a hip-hop background and slowly developing his style into an eclectic mix of hip-hop to techno. While holding down residencies in Amsterdam and Paris, he just cooled down from gigs at Plastic People in London and Wasserwerk in Switzerland.

Check hout his new album: Voyage Direct

Last week I was playing as a guest in Club Dauphine. It was a beautiful night, I had a lot of fun. Here is a video with the very talented Sherry Dyanne and Candy Dulfer. “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy”

One day after that, I did a show with my band in a lovely little venue called “De Unie” Rotterdam. This gig was part of the North Sea Round Town festival. Here you see us perform a song called “No Exit” which will appear on my new album: “Tunnelvision”

My new record, ‘Tunnelvision’ will be released on okt 27th in Paradiso, Amsterdam. For this album (again released on Embrace Recordings) I worked together with producer Mark de Clive-Lowe. MdCL is one of the key musician/producers of the London Broken Beat, Nu-Jazz scene. You can take a listen to some tracks in my player here. I am also very happy with the guest-appearances of Replife, Sharlene Hector and Ivar (again after our colab on ‘Reboot Your Soul’ and some intensive touring. )
