Meet The Artists!

We are delighted to welcome Justin Robertson.

Emerging from behind the counter of the legendary Eastern Bloc records in Manchester Justin soon became a recognised figure in the nascent acid house scene of the city.

His refusal to be categorised musically led him to developing a reputation as an open-minded DJ and fledgling remixer. Regular guest spots around the world followed in short order and his production reputation was cemented with a string of remixes for Erasure, Happy Mondays, Bjork and Talk Talk that were staples in the sets of DJs worldwide. His remix work shows no sign of slowing up. The list is ridiculously long, including Justice, Noel Gallagher, Steve Mason, Andy Bell, New Order, Paul Weller, Andrew Weatherall.

Drawing on his love of Dub, Psychedelia and 1960’s film soundtracks he fused these varied influences in his psych hop beat combo Lionrock. Top 40 hits, Top of the Pops, touring with the Cocteau Twins and regular festival appearances make them still one of the most revered British bands of that era.

Justin’s debut novel, a breathless offering of folk horror and sci-fi, ‘The Tangle’ was published in November 2021 by White Rabbit to great critical acclaim including a Times recommended book of the month. The Tangle has now been optioned as a television series.

Justin’s new book is something of a fictional autobiography called ‘The Trial of Jonah’ and was published by Velocity Press in February 2025.
