"Casting his net far and wide, from feeling instrumental hip-hop onto mind-expanding downtempo, via webs of lushly textured electronics and spacious, kosmische-informed excursions, Roberto Fa dishes out his extended debut mixtape, 'BREAK THE SPELL'. Featuring 47 unheard joints of his own signature, including a few refixes and covers, the DC-based vibist’s maiden flight is a melancholia-drenched ode to the shape-shifting nature of sound and its healing, cathartic power. Spanning the broadest palette of emotions and using every interval to get its feelgood message across, this two-hour shy voyage into Fa’s deep, genre-unbound headspace flings every possible bit of his wide array of influences in one ebullient cauldron of sample-heavy wares and multi-strain blends. True to his all-embracing approach towards styles and tune-making, Roberto Fa cuts a path of versatile beauty through your system, pouring down the circuits with both feverish precision and undeniable flair."

Blurb written by Baptiste Girou (former Inverted Audio), after listening to the first BREAK THE SPELL mixtape.

all of that fire im seeing
crashing and shooting a million
like guns was a toy
u are tripping
u get stoned for they care about you
you laughing till the jokes on you baby
while they be cashing on dead bodies
u smash your head front on the tv
i don’t need your school to study me
i am studying my own body 
favela ghetto and my city
have nothing to prove
we are somebody
this money never loved no one back

i been smokin' a lil bit 
yes i been drinkin' a lil bit
been on the bish for a lil bit
yes i been sinnin' a lil bit 
i been grindin a lil bit
be on that cash for a lil bit
i might be broke just a lil bit
don’t tell the mama im doing it
