Robyn Charlie is a DJ/producer from Drogheda, Louth (the county my father is from), currently based in London. I featured some of her releases in the mails, referring to their “hefty kicks and claps”, adding that the sound was “as informed by techno and post-club or whatever you want to call it”. In describing her music to someone I wrote “weird but hefty club music – a bit techno a bit ??”, which sums up her non-standard approach to production.
As a DJ she goes HAM, bonkers you might say. Not bonkers in a bad way, more Bonkers like the ’90s CD compilations. She’s part of the Bitch I’m Fucking Beautiful crew, and the blurb for their gig in Dublin’s Workman’s Club later this month claims she “brings the HARDEST techno this side of hell”. You can judge for yourself with this month’s mix, a proper session of nasty and high-energy tunes. No tracklist, just vibes, but I do recognise the VTSS remix of LSDXOXO in there.
