Studio Visit: Robert Bergman

On this episode of Signal Route, we head over to Amsterdam to pay Robert Bergman a Studio Visit. Bergman’s production can be characterized as hardcore acid house. Drawing influence from Lil Louis, specific Larry Heard alias’s, and new wave tracks, Robert Bergmans house music goes way into that violent jack zone that is reminiscent of what Chicago teenagers were making and partying to in the mid 80s. Instead of focusing on the sophistication that goes into making a grand build up and melodies, Robert Bergman tracks burn with immediacy. Just using some drum machines, effects, and mono synths, he’s able to thrust the dancer right into sweat soaked pits of box house music. As a well revered figure in the underground house movement with his label Brew Records, it was a pleasure to have spent an evening at his home studio where he spills some of his secrets and tricks. Cheers!
