Minus 8, the moniker of Swiss-born musician and producer Robert Jan Meyer, has made a significant impact in the downtempo and nu jazz music scenes. With a roster of albums and singles that blend jazz, soul, bossa nova, and a host of other influences, Minus 8 has become known for his eclectic and sophisticated sound. His career initially gained traction in the late 90s and early 2000s, with his work often finding a home in the lounges and chill-out rooms of the club scene, as well as featuring on compilations like the renowned "Science Fiction Jazz" series.

In recent years, Minus 8 has continued to explore the boundaries of electronic music with releases such as "Promethazine," demonstrating his skill in dub and instrumental music. His artistic versatility is evident in the variety of his work, including the smooth "Bossanova Feeling (Alternative Version)," the sun-soaked "Girls on the Beach," and the compelling groove of "Shake." Minus 8's commitment to innovation is further showcased in his remixes, such as "Basura (Minus 8 Remix)," where he reinterprets tracks with a unique flair. His musical narrative is one of persistent evolution, bridging the gap between electronic soundscapes and organic instrumentation, thus securing his place in the pantheon of contemporary electronic music creators.
