Justin Robertson "Zazous"

Legendary producer and DJ Justin Robertson is about to launch Neverwork, a brand-new label covering his ever-expanding creative output. Boasting a background that goes to the very heart of Dance music’s evolution as a driving cultural force in the UK, Justin Robertson is an unassuming figure. Cited as a major influence on The Chemical Brothers and Ulrich Schnauss, amongst many others, his presence, under many guises, has been instrumental in House music’s journey from the underground to mainstream dominance.

With a series of projects covering the gamut of club sounds, Justin Robertson has never been one to stand still. Indulging his love of primal House grooves, a new solo release, ‘Pylon Theory’, is set for release on 2nd April. Already gaining support from Tom Middleton and Paul Woolford, ‘Pylon Theory’ is a certified floor-rocker of the proper kind.

The label’s second release will be from Justin’s new band project, alongside production guru Gez Dewer, Thee Earls. With Justin picking up his guitar once more but this time stepping forward to take on lead vocal duties, Thee Earls distils the art rock riffs and searing rhythms that the band grew up on and projects them through a 21st Century lens, creating a blistering cannon of digital soul. Justin & Gez have also hatched a side project, Kid Science as an outlet for their acid house passions that will be seeing the light of day on label du jour, Brique Rouge.

With a psychedelic folk single featuring vocals from Charlatans front-man Tim Burgess and a return for his lauded Gentleman Thief project, Neverwork has an admirable release schedule taking them well into the summer.
