There are at least two artists using the name Orbitron. (1) Orbitron is a psychedelic and space rock band located in Paderborn, Germany. Their album "Cassini" was released in 2023. (2) Orbitron, a/k/a Orb, is a rapper from the USA West Coast. Orb began his life journey amidst the chaos provided by the legendary streets of South Central Los Angeles. During his youth, which came in the wake of both the collapse of the Black Panther Party and the rapid rise of the drug- gang culture of Crips, Bloods, and the LAPD , Orb’s family made a difficult move to Las Vegas hoping to begin a more stable life for he and his siblings. As a young teen growing up in Vegas, Orb grew to love Hip-Hop music and culture and found inspiration in the golden era of the hip-hop diaspora. The positive messages of resistance, struggle, knowledge of self and having fun communicated throughout the music were like water in the desert for a young Orb trying to understand and overcome his many life challenges. Through his hard work and love for Hip-Hop culture, Orb emerged as one of Seattle’s most celebrated b-boys enjoying opportunities to travel the world representing the 206. Orb has enjoyed international acclaim as a b-boy and freestyle dancer appearing in numerous international events including Lords of the Floor (Seattle), Battle of the Year 2000 (Germany), Dance Delight 2001 (Japan), Armory Cup 2006 (Korea), Juste de bout 2007 (Paris), B-Boy Summit and Freestyle Sessions.
