Bob Humid

Producer & DJ for versatile Electro - be it club-orientated or experimental - specialist for UK Bass & Breaks, Dubstep and D’n’B, tweakhead and sound-designer, demanded mastering-engineeer or techno-liveact: Bob Humid is a long standing protagonist of Cologne’s electronic underground scene, starting activity already in 1989, strongly influenced by Rupert Hine, Skinny Puppy, Thomas Dolby, Human League & Heaven 17. Today he is known for versatile production styles and for feeling uncomfortable in the stricktness of pure genre-thinking. Respected and admired by a few hand-selectable connaisseurs for his free-minded musical eclecticism and obsession for precisely tweaked drum-editing and object-based programming he was celebrated for "curing and repairing Drum'n'Bass" in Germany when everyone else called it dead. He´s got an uncoolable fever for very british electronic beats in general and quotes the likes of Photek, Si Begg, Hidden Agenda, Dom & Roland, Hyper-On-Experience and the vibe of Certificate 18, Metal Heads, Moving Shadow records as strong influences. His musical openness and birth name Robert Edwin Feuchtl Mato is a hidden clue to his exotical origin Montevideo, this mythical city somewhere in South-America. John Peel played tracks from his earlier work back in 2001 and Mary Anne Hobbs dropped the most experimental tracks from his last album "Second Wind Phenomenon" on Breezeblocks several weeks in sequence, introducing him as „a super-producer from Cologne“.
