Robert DeLong performs 'Global Concepts' for Best Fit
Few could find a place for a Wii Remote or Sega Genesis controller in music but one-man band and musical prodigy Robert DeLong’s seamlessly pilots his brand of bubblegum-EDM with these very tools.
The Seattle-born, LA-based musician, who mashes together an early 21st century indie-electro sound with the kind of pulsating dance that the US has taken to heart of late, once played in his high school jazz band but now finds pleasure in the kind of positive, musical expressionism that could only come from the Pacific Northwest.
We met up with DeLong last month for a studio cut of ’Global Concepts’ – a track inspired, says DeLong, by Moombahton (Dave Nada’s fusion of House and Reggaeton) – and taken from De Long’s debut album Just Movement, which is released on 1 July via Island/Glassnote Records. Watch the session below.
