| 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. |

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. :) |

, 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 ing 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. :wtf: 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. |
