Rob Henry

A brief stint as assistant engineer at West London’s Beethoven St. Studio was enough to propel him into his first production job – remixing Bollywood classics for India’s Audiorec. During downtime, he teamed up with Daniel Goganian to experiment with the various analog synths and samplers at their disposal; this slowly grew in to an act they named Children of the Bong. COTB’s reputation grew through live performances and were signed by Planet Dog Records in 1994. The album ‘Sirius Sounds’ was released in 1995 to critical acclaim and rose to number 3 in the NME’s Indie chart. The strain of constant touring and recording together had taken it’s toll and after completing an albums worth of music for the production company who created C4’s ‘The Word’, they parted company. The next collaboration was with Nick Trimm, the graffiti artist turned DJ who accompanied COTB whenever they played live. They formed Euphonic and released their debut ep and album on the Different Drummer label. The music is a collaborative affair with various like minded suspects drawn in part from Rob and Nick's friends from the Brooklyn hip hop underground including Dr Israel, Soothsayer, and Trymystic Sound System. Other contributors include vocalists Hedlam and Jennifer Achono (Neech). It was during this period that Raymond Watts, aka PIG, hired Rob’s talents to remix and produce a couple of tracks for his next release and was asked to collaborate on SOW’s 2nd release ‘Sick’. Rob continued to work with Anna Wildsmith (SOW) which took shape as the album ‘Dog’ in which he wrote and produced 5 tracks. Rob’s recent offerings are the output of a long time collaboration with Tony Messenger (The Unlimited Dream Company). Deep City was formed from a mutual love of Funk Electro and House and has started to release some club friendly anthems. They have also collaborated on production for The Thought Criminals.
