Minus 8 masters the whole spectrum of Downbeat, Drum & Bass and
Nu-Jazz. There are only a few internationally known DJs, producers
and remixers from Switzerland. Robert Jan Meyer, aka Minus 8, is
one of them. As a leading man in this group, his name is mentioned
together with the names of Alex Attias (aka Beatless / Mustang /
Catalyst / Bel Air Project) and the Straight Ahead label posse.
Robert Jan Meyer is an Architect and the brother of a well-known
Swiss rave promoter. He started to make music at the end of the
80's, first as a bass-player in a Funk-band, but soon his
fascination with Midi-equipment led to experiments with a keyboard
and sampler. At the beginning of the 90's, Robert launched his
Minus 8 project as a slow and peaceful answer to all the Plus 8 (on
a turntable) speed madness that was prevalent in club music at the
time.
snowblind is the song that was chosen by apple CEO steve jobs
himself (out of 200 proposed tracks) for the commercial of the new
apple G4 titanium powerbook.
