Robbie Lumpkin

Robbie Lumpkin has dedicated his life to the dance floor for over a decade. He got his first taste of electronic music from the now defunct music video channel “The Box” in the late 90s, and growing up in Chicago allowed him to explore the genre at Energy, Crobar and Vision. While studying Economics at the University of Toledo, Robbie took his passion for music to the next step and began teaching himself to DJ. After graduating in 2011, he moved to New York City and pursued formal training at Dubspot for Ableton, Maschine and Sound Design.

Now an emerging DJ in New York City, Robbie is known for his charismatic personality, dancing and his ability to bring the same energy to his sets that first hooked him when he was younger. Robbie is influenced by elements of every genre of electronic music, but most closely draws his sound from artists like Adam Beyer, Christian Smith, Shadow Child and Dusky. Robbie crosses genres to bring the darker elements of techno with the groovy nature of house and deep house. He and longtime friend Christian Voldstad are the founders and residents of T-Rex Thursday’s at local venues in New York, and Robbie has also played gigs at Open Air and Fight Klub.
