Vinyl’s From The Past: 15:47 to 24:46
I am going to take a brief break for Vinyl’s From The Past. In this limited run series, I will be exploring the pioneers that have shaped and influenced the EDM we have today. In this episode I will be featuring “Robert Miles”.
A pioneer of the electronic music scene, “Robert Miles” was a renowned DJ and Producer. He started his career DJ-ing in Italian clubs with his mixes later being played on local radio stations. It wasn’t until 1995 that his name became widely recognized with the release of “Children”. This track quickly gained international success becoming an instant classic. Take a listen to it here.
“Children” contributed to the emergence of dream house and trance by bringing a unique sound to the EDM genre. Robert’s track featured a soothing piano melody coupled with progressive beats, not as intense as many other tracks during that period of time. It was initially released in Europe but its popularity quickly spread worldwide, appealing to a global audience.
The idea behind “Children” came about as a result of a troubling issue in Italy: young people were getting into car accidents after partying and clubbing late. To help prevent such incidents, Miles crafted the track to be slow and serene, so that it could help settle down those who had gone out for the night before driving home. Robert inadvertently created something that not only saved people but touched them emotionally.
That’s it for this week’s Vinyl’s from the past; now let’s get back to more music.
