Robert Yang

Bézier (Dark Entries Records) is the moniker of all-live analog electronic musician Robert Yang from San Francisco. Influenced early on by the Cybernetic Broadcasting System (CBS), Robert started DJing (un)classic underground sounds as Robot Hustle before joining the Honey Soundsystem collective in 2007. Robert writes hooks, patterns and melodies in an automatic, stream of consciousness fashion. Memory and nostalgia play a big part in constructing his music. Influences range from the futuristic landscape of Syd Mead to the melodic energy of Patrick Cowley and the subdued, hidden motifs of My Bloody Valentine’s “Loveless.” Bézier blends elements of Hi-NRG and dark dance that drive mysterious underwater instrumentals that entailed a release through the critically acclaimed Dark Entries label his debut record “Ensconced”.

 

Robert as both DJ and live musician has performed in various parts of the US from his home base of San Francisco to Chicago as well as the far reaches of Shanghai, China. 2014 was a productive year for his live PA. In the summer Robert embarked on an east coast US tour with artists from the Dark Entries roster including: Max & Mara, redredred to celebrate 5 years of output by label owner Josh Cheon. The group performed live shows in Chicago, Detroit Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York and Brooklyn. In the winter of 2014 Robert travelled to Europe to perform in Berlin (with Mannequin records label owner Alessandro Adriani), Madrid, at the acclaimed Moog Club in Barcelona and the punk club La Residencia in Valencia. 2015 sees more live shows from Robert as well as appearances with Honey Soundsystem as scheduled residents for the Smart Bar in Chicago.
