And the original of Warung is clearly the best version IMO. I won't even touch the remixes this version is so much better. I can't even say I particularly like any of the remixes, even when I'm not comparing them to the original.

Mashtronic also works at times for me, but yes, I'll agree that the others really left me lacking and the original mix is definitely where it's at. The Kiki remix is actually probably one of the worst tunes I've ever heard in my life, absolutely terrible in my opinion.

The Dane Cook track alone makes this worth downloading. I enjoyed the whole mix. Its pretty chill. I like having it on in the back ground at work. Its not something that my boss would tell me to turn down =]

I prefer Centrum Silver. All the vitamins a healthy aged person needs.

Fucking brilliant mix once again RJT (can finally edit that now ). Seriously you are becoming one of my fav DJs period! I don't listen to that much house or electrohouse ( sorry use such a controversial word!) but I do listen to quite a few of these types of sets from a lot of the prog djs that have moved here and as well it seems there are more of these electro/tech/prog house sets right here in the DJ Forum than there are trance sets. Or at least close to equal. But you def stand above the rest. With your excellent balance of light and dark tracks. Your progressive type build, which is something sorely lacking from most of these kinds of house sets. And the care and thoroughness of your trackselection. The best thing I think is through all the sameness of the house stuff you have found your style. Which I would describe as raw, "video-gamey" glitchyness, with an overall epic quality. Lol, Idk. Anyway great stuff man. That Deer in the Headlights track is probably one of the most unique, powerful, haunting, effective tracks I've heard in a while. Simply fell in love with your mix at that point. The next two or three transitions I remember fucking dieing over and remember saying to myself "this is why I love mixes".
Also the dane cook track was so funny and well done.

I didn't really like the 2nd track but it wasn't bad for the build, I see what you were doing. The third track was really not my cup of tea at all. Not into the flute house, lol. It would have ruined the mix if you didn't redeem yourself so well. I appreciate your love for Gui but I felt objectively the track did not fit with your style.

Anyway thanks for you set. Gonna def grab your next. I gotta say I really appreciate the time and effort and thought you put into your mixes. I realize we are from somewhat differen't worlds when it comes to style but talent and quality ascend those things. Cheers.

Jesus i have been in Amsterdam so many times... i live 20 minutes away from it. But i NEVER had any feeling that this sets give. This is really awesome. And you should know i hardly make any comments on dj sets here, most of them are below my picky taste

The highlight of this set is the tune that comes in around 16.47 with the saw stabs/filtering.. really love it.

Great work!

Hahaha... Well I'm glad someone saw it in the same light I did! I cannot wait to get back to the Netherlands... Fingers crossed for the next 6 months

And that tune at 16:00 is Daso - Daybreak (Jona Remix), and it's quite a gem

Finally listening to this. Love the 1st track so far.

Thanks for the listen, hope you dug it

grabbing this, just read your sig

pretty late of me but hey, will give my input when i throw this on the ipod and give it a listen


cheers



Edit: Good stuff, really great mix, overall structure is top notch and the harmonic mixing is great

nice one

Whens your next mix coming out? Doesn't even have to be a promo, just record one of your live gigs! I still listen to Mono, glamorama, omgwtfbbq, and BBC fairly regurlarly.

Agreed! More sets RJT!!

DAMN.

is this the 2nd greatest hit set besides Psy T's?!

loaddowning.

edit/ Rob, i remember you speaking highly of a Spirals track in some MD thread and made a mental note to check it out. Was it 'Permission to Fly?'

edit/ Nope, X.

edit/ Props on the widespread diversity! Reminded me of the mish mesh of a Damian Lazarus set. I agree with what someone had said earlier in regards to it being 'video game' housey. I feared it would be a bit too glitchy/sterile/bleepityblopSNAP for my taste, but was pleasantly surprised. You had the glitch, but it always seemed to be backed up with warm, spacey, atmospheric soundscapes... thank Jesus. In other words, it's a set of substance. Fulfilling. You know, steak and potatoes, not 5 chick peas served on Dior chinaware. Thank you.

Thanks a ton guys - I've really been getting into a lot more glitchy and atmospheric sounding stuff lately, but still have a passion for the melodic bangers. I'm glad to know I'm at least able to keep you guys entertained

And @ Deeedeee: That's probably one of the nicest compliments I've ever received, thank you

I'm working on a collaborative project right now with another TA - It's taking a while because we're both perfectionists and really want it to turn out right. It may be a month or two, but I have a set from last summer I may post up later on today just for the hell of it - So I'll keep you guys posted!

Looking forward to it Will take a listen to Random Summer this arvo!

I haven't reviewed this yet? Fantastic mix here. Not typically the type of music I'd usually listen to, but enjoyable nonetheless. My only qualm was that Deer in the Headlights felt a bit out of place. The mix into Drug Addict is probably my favorite on the set, though. Oh, and Mike Monday - Bhalobashi is an incredible tune.

Nice job here, Rob.

3 tracks in... so far groovin to da beat!

Sweet! Hope you dig the rest of it!

Shit, I totally forgot about writing a review for this one! :O

Alright well this review comes from a fellow crackhead who's always in search of good tripping music. I dled this on the 11th of last month, listened to about 20 minutes of the set, then turned it off. I was really into the first track, but then it just got dull for me. However it usually takes several listens for me to really judge a set, so that in mind, I played it while at work a few days later. I got to about Deer in the Headlights, then turned it off again. I just really can't get into that song, as trippy and different as it sounds. Waited another few days, got stoned to some delicious Snowcap weed, and finally played the set in its entirety. Needless to say, I was quite amazed. The mixing was done rather well throughout the entire thing, and has a good flow and build-up. I still believe Deer in the Headlights sort of veers away from the warm and vibrant electro house sounds prominent throughout the set, but hey, if I can only complain about 1 song in this mix, then that means I enjoyed it very much.

But then I put it to one final test. I was planning on doing acid that Friday night and was rummaging through various psy sets that I wanted to hear, and thus thought that Centrum would be a wonderful set to comedown too. It would be an abrupt change from all the full-on/midnight psy I'm used to hearing while tripping, but it would be a welcome change, hopefully. I ate two tabs, smoked some extremely potent dank, and fucking fried balls a few hours later. I explored a desert inside my friend's spare bedroom, danced with a coyote, escaped from a pack of vicious nomads hiding out inside the hardwood floor, and before I knew it, 6 hours later and bam! Centrum was playing! Now I've never been to this town or even gone to the Netherlands before in my life, but I swear to you, I was there that night. From walking down the streets of this city and hearing tourists talking in a variety of languages, to lounging in coffee shops, bookstores, a train station, and a few other sights I just can't remember. Even for a time I was imagining myself chatting it up with some random Dutch dude in the back porch of his house sharing a joint. And then it all got ruined briefly, when Deer in the Headlights came on. All I could picture for the next 15 minutes was the most psychotic looking deer I've ever seen staring me down before finally disappearing in the label of a Jagermeister bottle. After that I wasn't quite able to get back into the Imaginary Centrum world that I had created, but overall, it was a very good trip and a fitting end to a rather fun and hilarious night. I still play this set about once a week and have given a few friends copies as well. Great work Rob, can't wait for your next one.

now thats what i call a review

I think it's pretty safe to say Zharen's review warrants a

Just had to read it one more time and quote it... to make sure I was reading it I think that's about as close to tripping as I'll ever reach in this lifetime Interesting read regardless!
