Shallou is an electronic music producer, singer and songwriter. Born Joe Boston in Washington D.C., the Shallou project began in a tiny college dorm room in New Orleans and has since grown into an international touring act. Shallou initially gained notoriety for his peaceful, blissed out production with subtle dance elements and his captivating live shows. Shallou has ambitiously presented his music over the years, experimenting with new iterations and maintaining a focus on performing electronic music live. He’s toured as a three-piece band, featured live saxophone and violin at his shows, and recontextualized his softest tracks into energetic live edits. Shallou has played major music festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza and has sold out some of the US’ most iconic venues. He’s collaborated with many artists across the pop and electronic spectrum, including Daya, Elderbrook, Bob Moses, Ashe and many more. With several Billboard Dance charting songs and frequent rotation on Sirius XM, he became one of the leading voices in the “chill” electronic genre. The current sound of Shallou includes his own heart-wrenching vocals atop a distinctive blend of house, ambient and pop elements.

Preston Chin is the humble, inquisitive, and interesting composer and live performer we know as the man behind the Robotaki mask. After leaving behind a masters degree in Cell Biology, he dedicated his love, time, and energy into creating another form of support for the world — music. Over the last decade Robotaki has become a widely recognized and revered musician, known for expertly implementing his delicate touch and sounds to a wide array of genres and styles. From left-field walls of sound and experimental, to retro-styled RnB grooves, all the way to classy indie-pop dance, Preston Chin has carved out a very unique lane for himself in a crowded space.

To-date, Robotaki has released an extensive catalogue of music, spanning genres and styles, receiving critical acclaim across press and streaming platforms. After a breakthrough headline tour in 2018, and directly supporting ODESZA, Madeon, Porter Robinson, Jai Wolf, and Big Wild on tours, in 2020 he reached another turning-point in his career development — writing his debut album, and concepting the live concert experience that would live intimately alongside it. In a world confused and over-saturated with new trends and innovations, and barely any time to think about what is happening, Robotaki’s album is the story of trying to find out what it all means. It dives into the questions of: What truly makes up our identity of self? Are our thoughts, feelings, and sensations a product of what is considered a reality around us, or instead – is it all a mirage? It is time to find out.
