Shocking news as Roberto Rosa from Italian synthpopduo Babylonia passed away.
On Side-Line Magazine other member Massimo Giunta told :
"Robbie Rox, aka Roberto Rosa, was a very talented guy. We formed together Babylonia in the 2003 when we released the first single "Without Asking Me". Over the years, we found a unique way to work together and there always was a great respect between us. We wrote all the Babylonia songs together, actually he was my musical soulmate. He played keyboards and guitar but he loved to focus on the lyrics, thanks to his very poetic soul. Robbie inspired me in many ways: he was a music lover, with a very huge collection of records of all genres. He helped me to discover a lot of artists and this was an important step for the band, especially for me. We were starting to work on the third Babylonia album, after "Motel La Solitude" that gave us a lot of satisfaction.Moreover, he really was a good man and everybody loved him for his smile and the kindness he used to put in everything with everyone.May his pure soul rest in peace."
Babylonia was formed in 2003 and have released two studio albums to date with one on Infacted.
At Dark Dimensions Label Group, there new releases are scheduled for September 16: NOISUF-X, AUTODFEH and STRAFTANZ.
"Dead End District³ is the title for the new NOISUF-X longplayer that will be release as strictly limited DVD-Digipak including Bonus-CD.
