At the age of 11 when he innocently pressed PLAY on a Miss Kittin record. Few knew that this would change his approach to music forever.

Since 2019, Robat has decided to channel the memory of this melancholy Electronic goddess and continue to share and spread her prophecy to the world through from behind the booth.....
