ye, rob, finally had a chance of giving this a proper listen, good stuff as usual, you built up the mix really good to the last 15minutes which was so awesome that i rewound those last 15 like a solid 8 times. mr templar -> love story was gorgeous.
and btw some tiny nitpick, the version of templar isn't the original mix, it the b2 on that ep. it's because svek didn't put a proper labeling on lords on svek 2 and beatport went with it.

I forgot this was posted here as well. Rob already got the scope from me in person but this is a very solid, drummy, techy mix. Check it out people if you haven't already.

(B2 Mix) I'm just having a really hard time tracking down proper info on the original release, as I'm pretty sure Discogs has all the tracks on the initial release labeled as "Untitled" - but I might just be missing something. Either way, again, thanks for the thoughts and for helping me get my ID's straight. |

Massive set. 
great fucking mix, awesome tracklist. love it!
Fucking awesome.
Top notch stuff man. Tracks 1 - 4 really set the whole thing up for me, don't know what it was but those 4 tracks and the mixing between them gave me goosebumps. I had a hard time even determining when you were making transitions. I'd chalk that up to my untrained ears and some pretty impeccable mixing.
I honestly enjoyed this set a bit more than the previous ones I've listened too, mainly because there were some lush melodic sections that I'm a complete sucker for. Your Maraud Your Ears edit was ace, and from then on to the end of the set had me rockin pretty hard. That Layo & Bushwacka track may be a classic but I'd never heard it before and it blew me away, great closer.
Fantastic job overall, loopy type stuff like the majority of this mix is definitely something I'm slowly learning to appreciate more and more. You, and everyone else on this forum who put up quality stuff for us to enjoy, keep inspiring me to actually get my finances in order and get some gear of my own.

I listened to it again yesterday riding around the city with some friends and like it even more now. WERD.

I put everything on hold to give this a listen after telling you I would get round to it. Just finished it now and I enjoyed it a lot. Technically it was outstanding- the first couple of transitions were the only ones that I actually noticed in a "oh, the track's changing" way. The rest were as smooth as you like. The highlights were the opener, which was a touch of class, and whichever tracks were playing at around 36 and then 47 minutes respectively. I lost touch with the tracklist due to the tightness of the mixing and my lack of expertise in this genre, but those two put big smiles on my face.
Nice touch to close on a classic too. Just about the only thing I felt you could have done differently was introduce Love Story a bit better. It sounds let you let it run into the break when the hook first kicks in (unless I just didn't notice it coming in sooner), which would have done damage on a dancefloor but felt a little abrupt through the headphones, compared to the rock-solid transitions that had built up to it. That's probably just nit-picking though because you're a much better DJ than me- I'd have been happy if I'd made that transition in the same way.
Overall, a very nice little set. It has a good groove running through it peppered with some gorgeous stand-out moments.

brilliant mix rob, not entirely sure on the melody as an opener, but from then on it everything was fucking fantastic, definately gonna have to get the album mix of ass to mouth, don't remember the club mix being that good
and I'd forgotten all about Maraud your Ears. For Shame.
ok i put it on this morning while i got ready but i haven't finished yet. i gotta be honest...i didn't start dancing around and saying, "fuck yea" until that track about 18 min into it. the intro and first couple songs didn't really do it for me. maybe it's just a totally diff genre i haven't accquired a taste for yet. usually if my attention isn't grabbed by the end of the 2nd song i just skip through the rest of the set to see if it's any good or i turn it off...but it's you rob and i wanna give it a chance so i shall continue listening with some wine tonight when i get home.
Just had this on again after Clovda's Headband Techno... still doing it for me!!
Looks pretty slick Rob, giving it a go. I'll get back to you with comments; I'm sure it will be lovely.
ok...100% honest. it was ok listening...but it didn't make me think OMG WOW. the only part that really stuck out for me and made me turn it up was from about 18:00 - 35:00...then i dunno. the rest of the tracks didn't really do it for me.
i have a hard time following the REALLY repetative stuff that doesn't seem to have a flowey melody...i found that a lot of the tracks in this set were like that. like just random spurts of piano keys being hit on a keyboard with a beat. not my cup of tea.
sorry i wish i liked it more. of course the mixing was perfect though. track selection not so much for me. but i won't give up on u just yet
You never have to apologize for being honest, Jamie.
Thank you for listening and taking some time talk about it a bit.
dled this, will listen wen i get da chance
Oh. Forgot to give feedback on this one.
First of all, let me say that this mix and 'Between The Lines 000' has been in heavy rotation for me these last couple weeks. Both are extraordinary.
Where shall I begin with this? The flow is wonderful throughout this, and the mixing is as tight as ever. You have real talent, Rob.
The mix from 'Funk That' into 'Maraud Your Ears' was perfect! You nailed it. And you know how much trouble I've had with that particular track, so it definately impressed the hell outta me to hear it mixed so well (especially mixing in at the very beginning of the track with the not-so-dj-friendly stabbing synths).
On top of it all, there are just some really fuckin' awesome tunes in this.
Keep up the great work, man. I look forward to your next mix.
Okay, I know I'm way late on this, but I finally gave it a critical listening today.
Altogether I really really liked this one. The first transition was a bit abrupt, but after than that it was smooth sailing the rest of the way. You pretty much described it aptly in your post: drummy and loopy, no dicking around. Good selections, and good flow. Props.
My only real critique is that Love Song came a bit too quickly after the main course of chunky techno. If I were you I'd have put a few tracks between Mr Templar and Love Song so that things would flow into the closer more smoothly. But I assume you had a reason to cap things off at the 60 minute mark instead of going the full 80.
All in all, well done.
