"Fergie (aka Robert Ferguson), a DJ of international standing for the past decade, has never had a stronger and more vibrant aural identity. Playing the kind of music he wants, determined not to be held back by perceptions and tags from the past, he continues to be a global representative for electronic music by consistently breaking down underground barriers and bringing new music to the people, without compromise.
There is no doubt that Fergie has firmly re-established himself as a producer of innovative exciting music that really takes a hold of you. Having dedicated himself to the studio for the past few years, where he totally immersed himself in his passion for music, this has been a true labour of love for Fergie:
I just wanted to go back and take time to rediscover what the music meant to me; how it made me feel, the buzz, the excitement. To find a sound that would reflect my individuality as a DJ and producer and in some way to recapture all of that in my productions (Fergie).
Clearly he has found his sound and the results are very evident in the free flow of original productions and remixes being consistently supported by the likes of Sasha, Digweed, Dubfire, Laurent Garnier, Miss Kitten and Slam. His ever growing Excentric Muzik label has been hailed by Carl Cox as his label of 2008, with Cox going on to license several productions for his forthcoming Space compilation this summer. Underground cuts such as Anon, To The Core and Blackeye-P have helped to instill Fergie and Excentric at the forefront of serious peak time electronica. Excentric off-shoot label Rekluse (launched at the tail end of last year) has got off to a storming start with first release 2nd To None by Umek refusing to leave the Beatport techno charts almost half a year after its release, peaking at the number 1 spot along the way.
A steady stream of new material and remixes on many other labels of distinction have proven the Fergie sound to be one that is in much demand. Ireland and the remix of Namito City Of Gods (on Great Stuff), the remix of King Uniques Hinode (which went down so well they asked him back to rework one of their biggest ever tracks, Dirty) and not forgetting the all conquering remix of Umeks Gatex, these have all firmly established Fergie as a proven seal of production quality for many.
A collaboration project with electronic compatriots Reset Robot & Alan Fitzpatrick is an outlet for a deeper, darker, more twisted side to Fergie, with the recent Gas Mask / Rattlesnake gaining momentum from DJ Hell, Luciano, Adam Beyer and Ivan Smagghe amongst others.
Then theres James Lavelle, who has consistently supported Fergies work and drafted him in to his remix his renowned Unkle Project with devastating results. By the end of 2009 this will have been joined by remixes of Slams seminal classic Positive Education (Soma), Smith & Selway Work it (Tronic), Yousef Letter to No One (Circus Recordings) as well as Reset Robot Softie on Excentric.
2009 will also see Fergie playing clubs Shine, The Stiff Kitten (Belfast), Pressure, Sub Club (Glasgow), Circus (Liverpool), Firefly (Nottingham), MOS (London), Shindig (Newcastle), The Tripod (Dublin), Meganite (Ibiza), Exit (Lithuania) and the Sonar festival (Barcelona), as well as international tours of France, Austria, Germany, Bulgaria, Italy, Brazil and Canada."
