The velvet-voiced house music icon discusses his incredible career and new sample pack, The Voice of House Music.
Robert Owens continued to expand his songwriting and production skills in the ensuing years, and experienced further success with singles like “Tears” and a worldwide number one in “I’ll Be Your Friend.” But it was always in the underground clubs that the house music icon’s heart lay, and the proof is in his latest sample pack with Loopmasters; The Voice of House Music. Inside the vocal pack you’ll find full song ideas, acapella loops and spoken phrases, all with the inimitable tone of one of house music’s most legendary vocalists.
We caught up with Robert to discuss his musical origins, the early production techniques behind one of dance music’s most enduring genres, and his vision for how The Voice of House Music can be used by today’s producers.
