Rob Turner - Apologies

...for being a stressy dick who hasn't been able to put out anything he's really happy with and taking out the frustrations and stress of school, and life in general, on the TA's... Here are my apologies:

1. Ada - MAPS (Michael Mayer & Tobias Thomas Mix)
2. Far East Coast - Moreish (Relay Dub)
3. Swich - A Bit Patchy (Eric Prydz Mix)
4. Tom Mangan - Chutney
5. James Talk - Love That Acid (Paul Woolford Mix)
6. Petter - Modern Eternity
7. The Vanisher - The Tic-Tac Tactic (Original Mix)
8. 16 Bit Lolitas - Sedna
9. Layo & Bushwacka - Love Story (Bushwacka Mix)
10. Moonface - U Get So You Give

Positive and negative criticism welcome - Feedback has been mixed so far, some really dig it, some not so much, but all in all, I'm happy with myself for the first time in a while, so I hope you enjoy.

This will be it for me for a while, as with a lot of finals, projects, and live shows coming up in the next couple months I most likely won't be trying to put the effort into putting "more" out there just for the sake of "more" being out there, and focusing more on live performance as well as finding some new music and producers out there to provide some inspiration, but I did want to get at least one set out there that I was happy with prior to taking a little recording break.

PS: I won't be deleting/removing this mix. Sorry about the last one, but I was really unhappy and embarrassed with how it turned out...

Recording information: 2 x CDJ800 --> Allen & Heath Xone 62 --> Pioneer EFX 500 --> M-Audio Firewire Audiophile -> Felttip SS 2.2.2 via iBook G4

That was kind of my intention

The fact is that this mix IS a bit eclectic, with bits of acid, tech, deep, prog, electro, and funky house spiced throughout the sets. Alongside that, a lot of the tune appearing in here aren't exactly new or perhaps have been canned to death by other DJ's (e.g. Sedna), but when it comes down to it, in my opinion the set has a pretty solid flow, and the eclectic nature of it gives it some personality that I feel perhaps has been lacking not only from my own work, but also from a lot of house and trance DJ's as of late.

In any event, there's always going to be mixed opinions... All I ask is honesty, and beyond that I just have to accept that I can't please everyone, every time, and just have the balls to stand behind work that I believe in.

/another long winded post.

Sorry, I forgot to read the jibba jabba, just looked at the tl...

I would download your mix for the sole fact that you included :Layo & Bushwacka - Love Story (Bushwacka Mix)".

You seem to be searching for your style/sound and listening to this mix will be interesting.

^^ Have you listened to my psy set yet??

hey man! great mix man. just finished listening to the whole set. nice vibe, the mixing is good. i love the housey tracks towards the beginning of the set. and sedna is fucking amazing track too.! loved it

i like. as far as the tracklist goes, it could have been better. not that the tracks are bad, far from it. some of them just don't fit imo. though modern eternity & love story.. wow, they fit everywhere great great songs
good mixing and a good mix overall. it was fun listening to

Posted by Allied Nations on Apr-25-2006 05:24:

It's solid. I liked it.

BUT...

I want to see your really deep side.. A lot of the tracks as you said yourself were somewhat dated and many have been played a LOT. It was a much more "commercial" side of you. Not that that's a bad thing, I wanna see the deeper side of RJT. If that makes any sense.

i haven't heard it yet, but you included Petter - Modern Etternity, and that's enough to get positive feedback from me. awesome awesome awesome.
