Main Stage - Live at Nachtdigital 2010
John Roberts
Dial, Laid, Berlin
Okay, you all know about the proverbial elevator that got stuck and had Kraftwerk in the company of George Clinton. But what if that same elevator got stuck with Mark Hollis, a sedated Adonis, Bonny Prince Billy plus Chez Damier & Ron Trent in it? To make it really packed, let's squeeze in The Smiths as well. Sounds a bit forced, but this cross-pollination is somehow a way to give you an idea of John Roberts' music. The young gentleman might have never been influenced by these people, but his releases for Hamburg's prime outfits Dial and Laid or his very first 12" for John Daly's Feelmusic resonate tender indie moments as much as the more contemplative history of house music. Asked by Carsten Jost, Pantha Du Prince and Lawrence in 2008 to be the first American artist on the influential German Dial Records imprint, his work for them has received major accolades for its distinct and refined aesthetic. Roberts currently lives in Berlin and performs regularly in Europe's preeminent clubs. Step into his world with this live set from 2010's Nachtdigital festival. Strong and tender!
