Livio & Roby - Press Pack 2015
LIVIO & ROBY PRESS PACK
Biography
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 connection with the global electronic music movement has been
channeled via highly influential outlets such as Desolat, VIVa, Saved and Fumakilla. While their physical
presence has been felt in a myriad of venues 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.
Livio & Roby were born from the weeping souls of their ancestors, men and women who lived through
centuries of struggle, from the poverty of the Middle Ages to the Communist rule that only recently lost its
grip on the nation. It was only through the determination of a small percentage of brave individuals that it
was still possible to hear music from overseas, in the most clandestine of situations – the true meaning of
underground. Music found its way, against all odds.
Romania's spirit is evident in all aspects of their music; The tribal rhythms penetrate your psyche, the
organic instrumentation lifts your spirit; flutes and vocals combine with delicate chimes, while groovy
basslines and solemn melodies create a magical concoction. It's a formula that caught the ears of their
early supporters, Steve Lawler signed them up to VIVa Music and Berlin stalwart Woody introduced them
to the city's music scene via his highly-respected Fumakilla label.

These early connections helped to spread Livio & Roby's unique blueprint throughout Europe, enchanting
more and more influential figures. Next to fall under their spell was Loco Dice, who signed them to his
Artist Alife agency and promptly released the seminal 'Mistique' – a track created in collaboration with the
third member of this spellbinding outfit, George G, with whom they form Premiesku. Just like their unique
partnership, Premiesku operates within its own confines – their live show is built around hardware that has
been customised and reconfigured for their own use, without any computers involved. This gives them
total freedom in their performances and allows them to express their own distinctive style.
Thanks to the consistenly high quality of their output, Livio & Roby have been in constant demand
around the globe, sharing the spirit of Romania with the clientele of clubs and festivals across North and
South America, Europe and further afield. Today, their endless travels continue, as does their entrancing
musical output, from EPs with labels such as Vakant and Cecille Numbers through to their debut
Premiesku album, 'Indirect', which came via Desolat.
2015 will see further adventures around the planet, Premiesku continue their reign of new music and live
dates around the world. The story continues as the duo continue to innovate and carry on the legacy of
their ancestors...
