Rob Pearson

Rob Pearson is a DJ, producer and label owner from the UK.

He came up in the mid-to-late 1990s as part of London's early tech house scene, and that Croydon-rooted, functional underground sound has remained the core of everything he does. His music moves across tech house, techno, minimal and acid, covering ground from deep, dark and tripped-out house to slick, groovy techno.

In 1999 he founded Evasive Records, a South London-based tech house imprint that he continues to run today, with releases still appearing under the catalogue into the mid-2020s. The label operated out of Online Studios in Croydon, where much of his production work was developed alongside collaborators including Simon Copleston and, most durably, Paul Donton.

The Evasive catalogue has drawn in artists such as Jay Tripwire, David Gtronic and Robin Ball, and helped define a distinctly South London take on the genre.

His own tracks have appeared on an array of labels including Fabric, Toolroom, Wiggle, Plastic City, Reverberations and Swag Records, placing him firmly within the serious end of UK underground club music. More recently his work has been released on Guti and David Gtronic's Personality Disorder imprint, as well as Real Deal, Bosh, Cue and Woodwork. Working alongside studio partner Paul Donton, he has released four artist albums on Bombis Records and Orlando Voorn's Triangle imprint. His music has been remixed by artists including The Timewriter, Demarkus Lewis, Inland Knights and Alexi Delano. He has also collaborated with vocalist Robert Owens.
