Rob Hall

Rob Hall is a visionary DJ and selector hailing from Manchester, UK, renowned for his deep and idiosyncratic approach to electronic music. Emerging in the early 1990s, Hall became a pivotal figure in the legendary Skam Records, a label synonymous with forward-thinking techno and experimental electronica. Hall began his career working alongside the late Andy Maddocks as a resident DJ for Skam’s events, where he played a crucial role in shaping the label’s distinct aesthetic.

His close affiliation with Autechre, with whom he has toured extensively across Europe and North America, further establishes his standing in the avant-garde electronic scene. Refusing to be pigeonholed, Rob Hall’s eclecticism and meticulous curation have seen him perform at prestigious venues and festivals worldwide, including Sonar, Berghain, and Unsound, and contribute essential mixes for respected outlets such as NTS Radio.

Despite a low-key public presence, Hall’s impact is felt through his profoundly influential DJ sets and his ongoing support of experimental music communities. His devotion to sonic innovation makes him a revered figure among artists and discerning listeners alike.
