Rowpieces

“Row“ is the nickname of producer Robert Schmidbauer and “pieces“ means the variety of music he is listening to and producing. Describing his music is simple, no matter which style or genre – it is all driven by Soul, Funk and Jazz, and always sophisticated.

Rowpieces first encountered Hip Hop as a teenager and soon discovered Drum’n’Bass, House, Downtempo and Electronic music throughout the nineties. All those genres led him to the roots of Soul, Funk and Jazz, where he became a frenetic vinyl collector of many genres in Black Music and Electronic Music. He is now proudly adding some of his very own tunes to his extraordinary vinyl collection. As a dj he plays everything from his collection and his ideal party is playing all those genres.
