Rob Overseer (who publishes his music under just his last name) is a British DJ/producer, born in Leeds probably most well known from his works for soundtracks like Animatrix, Snatch and Any Given Sunday, or video games like Need for Speed: Underground and Stuntman. His songs are also frequently used in TV commercials such as Hairdo for Vodafone which featured his song Velocity Shift or the Endeavor commercial for Mitsubishi, which featured Horndog.
Wreckage
Wreckage was released in the US in 2003 to great critical, if not popular, acclaim. The UK release of this album was plagued with many difficulties that led to a 6 month delay in it's release, prompting Rob to move to new management at the end of 2005.
2006
2006 is set to bring a new Overseer album according to this forum post by Rob. The album is as of yet untitled, but it is expected to contain Skylight, a track that featured on the Blade: Trinity soundtrack.
Genre
Overseer's style is most frequently described as Big Beat or Chemical Breaks, although Never on Wreckage is distinctly Gangsta Rap in style. Overall, Wreckage is a showpiece album that exhibits a wide variety of styles and cannot be bracketed in one single genre.
