Biografía
Deepbass is Darren Roberts, a Glasgow-based producer and DJ whose techno emphasises atmosphere, repetition and gradual development. Through his own Informa imprint and a longstanding partnership with Ness, he has built a body of work around those immersive qualities. The collaboration with Ness developed naturally through repeated studio sessions, without the need to create a separate group name.
Live performance gives Roberts another way to shape the music. He combines processed loops with drum machines and synthesizers, preserving detail from the studio while leaving room for improvisation and a different set each time.
After a period in Barcelona, he returned to Glasgow, where his involvement with Orbits connects him to the local scene. Performances at Japan's Paramount festival have been particularly memorable to him for their mountain setting, while longer releases such as Inward allow his patient approach to unfold away from a single club track.
