Rob Pearson

Check out my full DJ set recorded live from @evasive_records x @label37_ at Grub Records in Sheffield last weekend. It’s live now and up on my artist Soundcloud. Here are my favourites bits ➡️

Friday night at Studio Stereo Looked something like this! Many thanks to @baldo_bld & @giac.dc for the hospitality.

A snapshot of UK tech house in its formative years, OLC002 finds Rob Pearson laying down the blueprint for a sound he’d continue to refine through Evasive Records. Released on Online Collective—the label arm of South London’s Online Studios—this EP captures a raw, forward-facing moment in underground dance music. The title track Slipstream leads with intent: tight tech drums ride alongside a chopped breakbeat groove, underpinned by weighty sub bass and warped melodic textures. A fluid lead synth drives the track forward, locking into a hypnotic, evolving flow built for the dancefloor. Vortex channels early Detroit techno through a South London lens—crisp edits, filtered drum machine rhythms, and a hypnotic vocal loop combine for a stripped, late-night roller with serious intent. On Metaphor, Pearson taps into the spirit of early bleep and warehouse house, fusing it with late ‘90s tech house sensibilities—raw, swung, and deeply functional. The Metaphor (Bonus Beats) rounds things off as a pure DJ tool, primed for layering and extended blends. A sharp, authentic document of a pivotal era, Slipstream EP showcases Pearson’s early command of groove, texture, and dancefloor dynamics.

👁️ Distributed by One Eye Witness ~~~ djrobpearson – Oddly Mangled EP | Goodtunes (GT003) Expanding beyond the West Coast with release number three, Goodtunes invites master of the craft Rob Pearson for a dark & moody EP.Opener “Odd Job Mischief” bends itself over dubbed out low end pressure as echoic LFOs rip through the groove. A2 “Dodgy Brass” doubles down, forcing hazy horns through truncated rhythmic cracks split from beneath its own weight. On side B, “The Right Speed” is all gas, no breaks. A moody, stripped back weapon with detailed texture & the dark, tripped out aesthetics of Jayson Walker’s murmurs over the top. “Beautifully Mangled” wraps up the EP with a dark minimal groove & lush atmosphere that slowly builds into a warm driving force. Third time’s certainly the charm on [GT003], with Pearson pushing his productions into new territory with meaningful intention. Pre-orders & full snippets on
