Robbie Rivera began his DJing career at the tender age of 13, playing commercial house, but it wasn’t until 1992 with his move to Miami that he began his rise to become one of Miami’s most creative producers and remixers. Robbie plays the keyboard and is happiest in the studio, but has made his presence felt in clubland too. He’s renowned for his funky, vocal, tribal style, and uplifting house energy. Robbie can also lay claim to being one of the original purveyors of filtered house, a sound which spread like wildfire from the gay scene to clubland at large. Discography Robbie Rivera pres.

I've heard he's Puerto Rican, but I'm not sure. I love his stuff, very funky latin tribal.

he used to be good. he has hit a new low with "the hum melody" and "funk-a-tron"

I personally like Funk-A-Tron. I know it's kinda basic but it gets stuck in my head.

I just picked up his remix of Perpetuos Dreamer a few days ago =)

I also picked up another track the isn't on the above list:

Robbie Rivera- I Got A Track For You (Juicy)

he is very good..i personally am going through an olav basoski phase. this guy is fuckin genious

robbie rivera is from the us, has been around forever, and his tracks, like most dance music, are best heard on the dancefloor in a club with a big sound system.

at home i'll listen to james holden's "solstice", but at a club, i wanna hear erick morillo pumping out "funk-a-tron" while i sweat trying to keep up...

He's from the US right now, but he's Puerto Rican and he grew up in the island . Just like Roger Sanchez is Dominican from NYC, Junior Sanchez Brazilian from Jersey, and Eric Morillo Colombian. Latinos rule house!

check this track out.. have been addicted to it forever:
Robbie Rivera - Sex heaven
yum
