Robert Miles, born Roberto Concina on November 3, 1969, in Fleurier, Switzerland, was an influential DJ, composer, and record producer who became a prominent figure in the electronic music scene during the 1990s. Miles was most renowned for his groundbreaking track "Children," a dreamy, piano-driven piece that catapulted the genre known as dream house to international acclaim. Its distinctive melodic approach and trance-like ambiance saw "Children" reach number one in multiple countries and helped in defining a moment in electronic music history.

Over the years, Robert Miles continued to solidify his status as a pioneer in the dance music world, fusing together elements of trance, ambient, and techno. His discography boasts a series of releases that expanded upon his initial success, including anthems like "One and One" featuring Maria Nayler, which became another chart-topping hit, and albums like "Dreamland," a seminal work in the realm of electronic music. While "Children" has seen numerous remixes and iterations, such as the Undercatt Remix and the more recent "BIMBI PER STRADA (CHILDREN)" resample, Miles' legacy remains rooted in his originality and the emotional resonance of his compositions. Robert Miles tragically passed away on May 9, 2017, but his music continues to inspire and influence artists and fans alike.
