Robert Parker (SE)

Artist
Originally a classically trained pianist, Swedish electronic musician Robert Parker went from tracker music during the 90s to retro-esque the following decade. His love for analog synthesizers began when he bought a Korg Polysix in 2009, which was the starting point of the style of music he produces today. His studio is located in Stockholm, where he creates music that ranges between everything from computer game music to disco. He uses a combination of hardware synthesizers and trusty VSTs, where the Roland Juno 60, The Minimoog and the SH-101 are his cornerstones. Since 2016 he is signed to the Monstera Booking Agency, which has worked with artists like: Justice, Kavinsky, Giorgio Moroder, Busy P, Hot Chip, Underworld, and many others.
