Rob D
Rob D, also known as Rob Dougan, is an Australian-born composer and electronic musician best known for his cinematic breakbeat track "Clubbed to Death." The song, originally released in 1995 and later reworked for The Matrix soundtrack in 1999, became a defining piece of electronic music, blending orchestral arrangements with pulsating beats and atmospheric tension. His style is often described as a fusion of trip-hop, classical, and breakbeat, creating emotionally charged, dramatic compositions.
Although Rob Dougan has remained relatively reclusive compared to other electronic artists, his 2002 album Furious Angels showcased his talents as both a composer and a vocalist, featuring grand orchestral scores mixed with electronic elements and gravelly, melancholic vocals. His work has been widely used in film, television, and advertising, ensuring his music continues to resonate even years after its release. While he has largely stepped away from the mainstream music scene, his unique blend of classical and electronic music remains influential.
