Founding member of
Thievery Corporation

Rob Garza
, who’s informed the musical taste of generations, will come to Budapest! The
nu-disco pioneer
has been
invited by Petőfi Rádió BACKSTAGE
, one of Budapest’s most exciting musical-cultural events, to take the stage at
Akvárium Klub
on Thursday, February 12.
Rob Garza
has been an intriguing figure of the music industry for decades: having started his career in Washington DC, he is a master of blending electronic music with dub, trip-hop, and reggae. Since moving to San Francisco his sound has also changed, which has resulted in his DJ sets wandering into the most exciting territories of deep house and nu disco. He is eager to fulfil as many remix requests as possible – his 2013 album called “Remixes” features his interpretations of works by
Tycho, Blondie, Gogol Bordello and Afrolicious
. He was not idle last year either:
Thievery Corporation
put out several killer releases, and he also collaborate on a single with Canadian deep house producer Neighbour.




Garza, who has played at
VOLT
and the 
Balaton Sound Festival
, will be preceded by a special Backstage edition to get the audience in the true summer party mood. This time we’ll take a trip literally behind the scenes, as at 20:30
Kultúrfitnesz live
will feature
Zoltán Fülöp and Norbert Lobenwein, who'll reveal all there is to know about the backstage operations of Hungary’s biggest festivals
. They’ll also have a few spare tickets for
VOLT
and
Strand Festival
on them, which will be distributed based on a draw among members of the audience.




At 21:00 a guest who’s an indispensible part of the Hungarian club scene will arrive at
VOLT Music Bar
:
DJ Palotai
will bring his favorite tracks to present to the audience. After the necessary cultural and musical warm-up, Rob Garza, Kovary and Spilerz will take center stage and provide quality entertainment until dawn.




The first 50 guests arriving at the 20:30 event will get a free ticket for the party at 22:00.
