Producing electronic music as okayshades since 2016, Robin Brink (well known as the drummer of South African band Beatenberg) has been patiently refining his signature sound: a mix of house, techno and downtempo. His music has so far been released on such tastemaker labels as Stay True Sounds, Ambious Records and Surreal Sounds Music. After a performance with his band on the Jimmy Fallon Show a backstage conversation led to the opportunity to produce a breakthrough remix (over 1m Spotify streams) for renowned English rock band Mumford & Sons featuring legendary Senegalese singer Baaba Maal. In 2020 after a fruitful period of work coproducing a number of pop and indie projects he decided to enter the 20 Years of Poker Flat Recordings remix contest.
