Voted Third Best House Producer in the Beatport 2008 and Best Remixer in the 2008 IDMA WMC Awards there is no doubt that International music producer Robbie Rivera is one 2008's hottest properties.
Consistently innovating world class music is what sets him apart from the pack as a true artist. It is no surprise that Robbie Rivera is now racing to the forefront of the genre.
His appropriately titled second artist album,'Star Quality' is currently cruising high on the dance charts and has been picked up for a major global release later in the year. It includes 'Back to Zero' and 'Move Move' - two tracks that have already been favoured by fellow big hitters such as Guetta, PVD and Tiesto (and Robbie himself), whose crowds sing along to the addictive melodies.
The two huge Miami WMC tracks are set to have music fans humming them all summer as they will appear on this year's big summer albums. Cream (mixed by PVD), F**k Me I'm Famous (David Guetta), Pure Pacha (Pete Tong), Gatecrasher and Juicy Ibiza have all snapped them up. That's just the beginning!
'Aye Aye Aye' feat C&C Music Factory, 'One Eyed shut' feat. Laura Vane and 'Escape' also form part of his impressive repertoire from the last 18 months. All have gained world-wide recognition.
His first artist album 'Do You Want More' was also an acclaimed success. 'Which Way You're Going' hit the Billboard chart and while his big room anthem 'Float Away' (re-release in 2007) was became a global big-seller.
His distinctive brand of sexy pounding dirty electro tinged house ignites dance-floors across the globe, while the world’s top artists queue up to have Robbie put his sound to their tracks. On a continuous world-tour, and with a diary resembling an airport departure board his music has regularly packed-out the dance-floors of Ibiza, Barcelona, South America, Poland, Puerto Rico, NYC, Brazil, Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Asia, Italy, Tunisia, Canada, Moscow, Australia, Vienna, and of course his hometown of Miami.
He's also remixed a distinguished and varied list of artists; Faithless, Felix Da Housecat, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Gabriel & Dresden, Moloko, Bob Sinclar, Benny Benassi, Sinead O'Connor, Ferry Corsten, Ricky Martin, Santana, Brian Cross, Steve Angello, Coburn, Superchumbo, David Guetta, Tocadisco, Pink and Basement Jaxx are just a few of the talents who have made Robbie their first port of call.
An unashamed workaholic, when Robbie’s not traveling or remixing, he is locked in either his Spanish of US studio, infusing the sounds he hears on his travels. But the jewel in his crown as most know is his label. Juicy Music is a familiar name to most DJs. Recognized for its quality house, progressive and electro music releases. His own braindcahild Juicy Music’s arsenal includes Antoine Clamaran, Coburn, Superchumbo, Mark Knight, David Guetta, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, Stonebridge and emerging talent such as Willie Morales, Paul Harris, Louie Padilla, and Rooster & Peralta.
Since 2005 he's also produced the famous Juicy Beach at the Winter Music Conference. The 17 hour events at Nikki Beach attract a cast of over 6500 clubbers and A-List Djs and have become one of week's biggest parties. Summer 2008 will also be the third season of the Juicy Ibiza parties, which welcome up to 6,000 clubber to the Amnesia's beautiful terrace throughout the season. The Juicy brand is also expanding to new territories including Spain, NYC, LA, UK Chicago and many more on the cards.
2008 is an exciting time for Robbie Rivera. Already a house-hold name on the dance-music scene, he's a name you're going to hear a lot more from over the coming months. Just watch this space!
