Robert De La Gauthier

DJ, author and producer, Robert De La…Gauthier is Montreal DJ monarchy.

Holding a " LENGENDARY " status, his name, which has been heard for 27 years, is a symbol of talent, success and a continuously renewed vision of an irresistible and universal sound. He is one of the Montreal DJs that stand out by having set the trends in the last twenty years or so.

Born Canadian, originally from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, now with an extra portion of German officialy added by mariage and spending nearly 14 years in Europe.

He was the first Canadian, (of the much later wave trend of Djs, Producers) who left because of the exiting Europeen, Germany, Berlin obsessive itch, and just go for an adventure, but also live there long to really experience the difference in the cultures, produce, run labels and play around a lot.

First in lived Maastricht in THE NETHERLANDS (HOLLAND) and then in Köln (Cologne) in GERMANY.

Now based in Montreal.

Robert has 27 years of experience as a dj and always involved in other aspects of the music business like writing for magazines, reviews, interviews, reports, licencing music for mixed cds, running several record labels, doing concept nights and producing events.

Often ahead of his time and avant garde with his approach and the style he plays and developed an art at introducing new music to different types of people. A bridge builder connecting…

Versatile in styles he plays and produces. (House, elektro, minimal, maximal, acid, dreamy techy, Deep, vocal, Tekno, cinematic ambient experimental sound scapes, collages and noises). Immersed daily in listening a sea of new releases, Robert does a lot of research, so the music he plays is fresh and upfront, especially from producer, collegues and labels who sends him music.

He plays either sets of a certain type or concentrates on a specific style for a theme night or venue/crowd. (House Sets, or Elektro sets, Acid or minimal and even classic house or classic tekno sets) depending on the event and venue and concept of the night.

He really excels at playing longer sets making sense mixing the different styles and creating an experience, a voyage for the dancers/listeners. He plays all over the globe in various clubs, raves, parties and special events.

Robert has produced many records, mixed cds and remixes as well as running record labels.

He was amongst and maybe one of the 1st few Canadian dj to play House music regularly in a club in 1986.

(he played and really pushed this style to the point of losing his 6 years residency for playing repetitive beats. Not more than 1 house track allowed at a time, not two in a row…)

Later on, a major player in starting the tekno and rave movement in Canada(going to Berlin in 1992 and bring back lots of crazy tekno music), then being the first Canadian dj to go play abroad and other cities and move to Europe and other countries.
