Sorry Sush, going to start dropping this bomb in conversation myself.

Amazing mix man, enjoyed it immensely. Will definitely be recommending it to others!

Originally posted by jupiterone i always hate ignoring all the facebook events you invite me too because i really wish i could attend loved this man, thank you for using my track, always get excited to see how someone uses it. although it was one of those more generic things to come from me you really made it work with the track before and after. the tracklist was superb, the flow was fantastic, everything was great dude

I'd hardly call it generic - simple, maybe, but effective beyond belief. I'm glad you liked it bro, because I've been playing it out a great deal since you sent it to me, and it's gotten some of the most interesting responses I've ever seen: people who have never heard it before instantly recognize fever and start singing along almost reflexively. It's unreal - I've rarely had folks "sing along", and to have it come with a tune like that was really something special, so thank you.

You friggin' guys - far too generous. I'm to this day just exceedingly grateful some other people enjoy something I enjoy doing so much. Which leads me to addressing the following...

...so have you guys. You have no idea. It's been an interesting year or so, and while I've been fortunate enough to have earned some bookings for clubs and parties in Wisco, I have really, really missed being a part of a community like TA, and in general, a community where for better or worse, people still liked to talk very seriously about the music I love. I don't get that here, and I really, really miss it.

Even (or, errr, especially?) when that degenerated into c0r shenanigans, I got to know a lot of folks here whose friendships and influence effect me to this day, so for that I say god bless you Trance Addicts, you c0r whores, you princes of England.

Rave on my friends, rave on. I treasure your friendship.

And Stu, I'll boil your potatoes anytime, m8.

call me

Not a deep house man, but I have liked your sets before so I'll have a taste.

Cheers JBJ - know it's outside your realm of preference, but hopefully it's as weird/dirty/not-typical-deep-house enough for you to enjoy a run through.

Lots and lots of jazz influence here, not-so-much of the diva-style-vocal-stuff.

Saw this on FB but forgot to grab it! On it nao!!!

on it buddy

Thanks Max - hope to see you this weekend!

Still need to get around to this...this will be tonight's study music.

Are Jay Tee mickses are my favorite kind. On the D/L for sure.

lol @ boiled potatoes.

I know your thoughts on it, but I wouldn't feel right if I didn't say, "stop being such a stranger".

I'm sure Jay would let you borrow one of his alts.

finally downloaded this last night -.-

will listen shortly

/btw sorry to be completely out of the loop but which track is J1s? /

you gimmmmeee fever

i've listened to this all week rob, love love love it

Alright, here goes!

Starting with the Dinky track, I actually didn't realize this was what this track was when I first glanced at the tracklist. I have played this track out myself a few times. Definitely makes for a nice opener.

Very smooth move into the Murakami track, love the subtle groove in tracks like this. Exactly the sort of thing I wish I could get away with playing more. Also, love the pitched-down vocals coming in before 9 minutes. This is the way we make...tech..no.

Amore has a nice driving bassline groove and subtle percussion that really makes me want to bounce in my office chair. The vocal loop is quite enjoyable.

I can't say that "Wait a Minute" did a whole lot for me as a standalone track initially. Don't get me wrong, I think it's good, it just wasn't a stand-out track to me. As I start typing this, the weird vocal shit starts happening and it is really fucking cool. I totally get it now. The LFO/sidechained pad thing does have an RJT feel to it, I must say. This track would be pretty empty to me without that sweet vocal thing going on, though.

The break in Village Vanguard with the horns is very cool.

The next few minutes are great. It feels so damn... I dunno, housey. There's nothing particularly crazy about it, but it just has a place for everything and everything in its place. And such good use of vocals.

Deep thang is accurately named, and while it doesn't feel quite as groovy/dancey as what has proceeded it, is definitely a feel-good track. Great selection.

Moving into Round & Round... I like it as a song to listen to, but I find myself disappointed as the bouncey dance feeling continues slipping away. I find myself hoping that this is part of a bigger ebb & flow thing, but it might just be because I'm in the mood for something dancey rather than loungey today.

Ah yes, the shakers, clap, and little vocal snips of the incoming Ripperton track are drawing me back in. This is the kind of funk that's scratching me where I itch lately. I like these kind of breakdowns... the kind where there's no kick or big percussion happening, but you still want to keep moving.

Deep Cover adds a nice deep/proggy touch.

At Peace - this is beyond lovely. You have a way of picking great vocal tracks without going over the top... it almost makes me jealous how well you can do this. I will say that I personally would have played this track earlier in the set (or, actually, maybe closed with it).

Bright Star pretty much echoes my sentiments from Round & Round.

The mix into jupiterone's track did have a bit of a "mixtape" feel to it, but I don't think it sounded bad. Reminds me a lot of the Resident Advisor mixes. Jupiter, what a fucking cool track. Nice job, man. (Obligatory Deano comment here.) Rob, nice way to bring back teh ravey oonts, leading this into the Corrie Remix. Then back to some deeper house sounds with Attica.

The ending two tracks are just a nice bit of deep housey goodness and a good note to end the set on. Two well chosen tracks that compliment each other for obvious reasons.

To give some comments on the set as a whole, I really enjoyed the tracks and the mixing. This is great stuff as always, Rob. My only complaint stems from the fact that the fairly random drops in energy seemed to be a bit of a "movement killer" for me. I would start to get a dancey feeling, but then a track like Bright Star would come along and, while being a fantastic track, gave me visions of a clearing dance floor. Let me be clear... EVERY track in this mix is fantastic. I think I would have just ordered them differently. However, keep in mind that this is based on the fact that I know this is a promotional mix, and I have this notion in my head that is hard to shake involving making mixes that essentially build their energy over the span of the entire set. I think that aspect would have been more enjoyable for me, if you started with some of the mellower tracks, moved on to the dancier stuff, and ended with something like At Peace.

Take all of this with a grain of salt, as it's hard for me to think of putting together a promo mix any other way, where I live. Purely judging it as an hour-long piece of music, it's fucking fantastic, and you'd better believe it will stay in my listening rotation for a good while, per usual.

As a side note, I think it's funny that your self-proclaimed "shaky mixing" moments are more buttery smooth (both from a technical and an artistic standpoint) than just about any others that I ever listen to. Great job as always!

Please forgive the long post... it would appear that I'm on a bit of a roll today when it comes to verbosity.

10. Dirt Crew - Deep Cover (Vincenzo Remix) [Mood Music 2010]

Good taste. Used this in my Byron Bay mix as well. Sweet synths.

Will check this mix out.

Wow I picked a good day to check the TA forums... glad to see you're back rjt! I'm only about 13 minutes into your mix and I'm loving it... really enjoying Amore. It's gotten me out of "corporate cubicle zombie" mode and I'm rocking out lol. This has definitely brightened the boring workday.

let's give this a whirl

you aren't too far from us in wisco... come up to mpls some time

good stuff rob

this is bloody superb !!

You can pretty much jam every other commercial dj mix I have listened too in the last year down the toilet after listening to this.

WOW !!

Hmmn........... What a shame.
Just perfect up until the last two tracks.
Just my opinion of course

Gotta make this a quick one, but just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate the thoughts/reviews/comments/shenanigans. I've been dealing with some internet issues at home, so I'm relegated to being Blackberry guy right now, but I do have a couple of responses for a handful of you all that I'd like to share, so hopefully once my issues with the magical, magical internet are resolved, I can get to those.

Cheers fellas.

Oh, but one other quick note: you all have no idea how much it means to me to have basically bailed on this place for entirely selfish reasons and still get the kind of love I get from you all.

In a world that feels so utterly far removed from the world of EDM, it means everything to me. Thank you.
