John Robie
John Robie is an American musician and record producer, widely credited as the driving force behind many of the most successful songs from the early 80's electro boom and is best known for his work with the New York record producer Arthur Baker.
Early years
Robie's first role in the world of music was as a remixer for the remix service Disconet, providing professionally selected and remixed music for discotheque Dj's.
Break Through
Robie's first real production came in 1982 with the album Extra Extra by London based dance music artist John Rocca. In 1984 he co produced Planet Patrol's break through hit Play at your own risk, a band which he played the majority of instruments for and collaborated with Baker on. He also produced the seminal Lost in Space by Jonzun Crew and Freestyle's Don't stop the rock. Not a success but interesting for its use of the E-mu Emulator, one of the first digital sampling keyboards, was his production on Cuba Gooding, Sr.'s 1983 track "Happiness Is Just Around the Bend,".
Mainstream
John Robie also recorded a track as the band C-Bank called One more shot a song which would later resurface (albeit in a reworked form) as Shellshock the non album track by New Order on which he produced, this song is best known from the Pretty in Pink soundtrack. This followed his work with Arthur Baker and Jellybean Benitez on the New Order song Confusion in 1983.
