Yorkshire artist, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Robert Burbidge has built a career bridging the gap between traditional musicianship and underground club culture. Classically trained on trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn, and piano from the age of seven—including a stint with the prestigious National Children’s Wind Orchestra—he seamlessly carried that impressive musical foundation straight into the electronic underground.

Initially recording under the alias Rubberlips, Robert became a fixture on the UK dance scene. His sharp ear for production and genre-crossing arrangements led to high-profile collaborations with house royalty and cult icons alike—including Grammy-winning Louie Vega, Yorkshire legends Utah Saints, Damo Suzuki (CAN), Tom Findlay (Groove Armada), Ashley Beedle, and Gregory Thomas (Funkadelic). As a live performer, his dynamic sets spanned from the greenfields hedonism of Beat-Herder Festival to the majestic stage of London’s Royal Albert Hall.
