Robert Babicz releases A Cheerful Temper

Cologne-based DJ and producer Robert Babicz, aka Rob Acid, will release his new artist album titled "A Cheerful Temper" through Marc Romboy's imprint, Systematic Recordings, in May.

After a cycle of influential techno records in the late '90s, the last couple of years have seen a series of quality releases for Babicz on such labels as Punkt, Treibstoff, Steve Bug's Audiomatique, and Kompakt's offshot K2. Despite the fact he's been making music for almost two decades, Babicz is a classic example of an older and already established producer that has managed to stay relevant by constantly reinventing his sound.

"A Cheerful Temper" sees Robert moving between the genres of electronica, techno and classic house. Answering the question why he is choosing this specific album name, Babicz explains that he feels caught between two worlds: "The real world of everyday life and a surreal dream world comparable to the backdrop of a fairy tale."

The first single from the album, "Sin," will be released on April 4 with a remix from Brazilian producer Gui Boratto alongside the original version.
