Sacha Robotti @ Octopus Recordings x CASTxOFF - Sian Presents on Twitch, Los Angeles, CA 2020

Having an in-depth knowledge of airports might be enough to get you labeled as an international DJ these days, but describing the German-Italian Sacha Robotti, who was born and raised in Belgium, educated in the UK and Germany, and now resides in the US after a significant stint in Berlin, as ‘international’ doesn’t really do him justice.

Experience is arguably the sum of a person and for Sacha Robotti, his story began in classical music, playing the cello aged 7. Growing up in Brussels, he didn’t resist the lure of its thriving underground house and techno scene for long, and a steady diet of electronic music provided by touring legends like Green Velvet, Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke, and Dave Clarke helped sow the seeds for the Slothacid empire he’s now building in 2020.

Sacha’s professional music career began in Berlin around 2005 where his time as one-half of Robosonic helped build his profile as a respected producer, DJ, and label owner. However, it was in 2010 when the solo sounds of Sacha Robotti really started to take shape with his debut track “tingly trumpets”. Fast forward a full decade and Sacha Robotti is now something of a household name in certain dance music circles - if not by name directly, then almost certainly known for the sloth motif which has come to represent his Slothacid brand across merch, sell-out tours, and most recently as an independent record label and platform by which Sacha supports up-and-coming talent.

But we’re getting ahead of ourselves because ten years is a long time and you’re probably wondering what happened during that period, right? Well, to cut a long story short - it included releases on Klasse, Food, Snatch!, Octopus Recordings, Sweat It Out, Desert Hearts, a Beatport #1 on Suara, and of course Dirtybird where he has become a longstanding member of the family with multiple EPs, collabs and a VIP joint with Claude Vonstroke himself. This ten-year journey saw Sacha’s sound evolve for sure, but the fusion of techno, house and booty-shaking basslines has remained consistent throughout and explains why Sacha counts the likes of Seth Troxler, Dubfire, Chris Lake, Ellen Allien & Nicole Moudaber as supporters of his music - an output that has put him on prestigious lineups at events like CRSSD Festival, Electric Forest, EDC, Nocturnal Wonderland and many more.
