Robert DeLong

Robert Charles Edward DeLong (born February 18, 1986)[3] is an American electronic musician from Bothell, Washington and currently residing in Los Angeles, California.

[4] With a background in percussion and influences from a number of indie rock bands, DeLong's primary genres include house, dubstep, and moombahton.

DeLong started as a drummer for indie rock bands[1] but added more electronic elements to his compositions following his exposure to their use at raves.

[2] DeLong is notable for using video-game peripherals, such as a Wii remote and a joystick, connected to a MIDI interface, to modify his sound.

His sound has been described by Wired Magazine as a merger of "electronic dance music, alt rock, and vocals into tracks that are poppy enough to make you move but dissonant enough to be interesting.
