Sasha Live @ Melbourne, Prince Of Wales 2014

Well this is the 3rd instalment of the Northern Breaksposure series and I thought I would treat you to an almost 4 hour music feast as per the trend.

However there is a twist with this mix, I have decided to pay tribute and respect to my current favourite DJ's from USA and Russia. This mix includes a monty of original productions and remixes by the following kings of dopeness: Jayson Butera, Rick Tedesco, Digital Department, Dave Gluskin and Trukers. The focus is on my preferred material of theirs with a cherry picked selection of my own all time favourite tracks too. The final track by the way is an epic little production by 'Not Forgotten' which deserves top credit and recognition. It's a very clever remix of Togethers - Hardcore Uproar which has an excellent proggy intro with plenty of news reporter samples etc. Well done 'Not Forgotten'. Check out his brilliant old skool mixes one of which features over 70 tracks: https://soundcloud.com/not-forgotten/not-forgotton-vol-3-classic

It took me a while to put this together as I treated it as a careful project which hopefully portrays a journey of musical magic for your ears.

All feedback is massively appreciated, especially from the big guns featured on this mix!

Reshaping Reality

This is the 2nd mix in my 'Variations On A' tribute series paying attention to (The Man Like) Sasha.

With this mix my intention was to mirror not only just Sasha's track selection but his mixing style also.

The mix kicks off with the Loquai remix of his belting track 'Cut Me Down' which immediately invokes the atmosphere of what is to follow. Namely a blend of serious driving proggy, breaks and deep dopeness. Big respect to Abdomen Burst also, I have included a couple of my favourite tracks of his including the last epic finale.

There are old tracks and brand new tracks to keep it varied and I hope it is enjoyed by the people that take the time to listen to it.

Comments and feedback are greatly appreciated by all you peeps who share a similar passion for fantastic ground breaking music ;O)

The theme of this mix was inspired by my early clubbing days at a dingy dive of a night called Tangled @ Club Phoenix in Manchester.

The venue was small and claustrophobic but it still remains to have been one of the most successful underground house and trance nights in the North West, similar to the Hacienda in many respects. This night had some brilliant resident Dj's including Phil Morse, Terry Pointon, Steve Thorpe, Herbie Saccini and also pulled in regular big name guest Dj's like Hybrid, Hyper and Nick Warren to name but a few.

Many of the tracks on this were played in the club regularly and this mix will give you an insight into the magic that was generated by a 'one off' of a club.

This mix highlights a load of my favourite remixes of fantastic tracks, especially the Cotton Club remix of Children which has always been one of my signature intro tunes when playing out. The Major Minor mix of Take Me Away by Sweet Mercy is also a big fav of mine, think you will agree it sounds mint with the 'Touch Me' acapella over the top - it just seems to build in sync like they were made for each other. Bit of a proggy mix going down of Sarasota too which is quite scarce.

Remix of Afrika Bambaataa's Epic track "Just Get Up And Dance"


Just Get Up And Dance (Security Mix)

I Was at the Tour i Bought the Album!! Now I'm sharing my youth!!

Sasha & Digweed- Northern Exposure (North-Disc 1)

Rob started getting passionate about house music from his early teens. He was initially tuning into Stu Allan's mix show at weekends where he would begin to educate his virgin ears with what i would describe as audible magic. Rob had a DJ's ethos from day one as he would live record the tunes he liked onto cassette whilst doing on the fly edits to remove the advert breaks.
 
As his knowledge and experience of music increased, he found himself becoming naturally inquisitive about the technical side of mixing and was fascinated at how an atmosphere can be manipulated, altered and changed just by spinning plastic and tweaking a few nobs and faders. This eventually lead him to getting a pair of Technics 1210's about 15 years ago and the rest is history.
 
In the beginning his main passion was for old skool and classic house from early 90's, however his musical taste has since matured to genres including progressive house, electro and breakbeat.
 
Plenty of DJ's and producers have been a huge influence on Rob and you will hear a lot of their material featured on his mixes. Rob would like to take this opportunity to drop a few names and pay his respects to the following:-
 
Sasha, John Digweed, Dave Seamen, Nick Warren, Steve Lawler, Hybrid, Trafik, U.N.K.L.E and especially Dj Faskil (Frisky Radio) who is absolutely brilliant and inspiring. Rob highly recommends his free Silly Waffles and Artist of the Week mixes which are free to download from his site www.faskil.com.
 
Rob's Two-Pence:

"I hope my mixes will be enjoyed and appreciated by all who take the time to listen to them. Each and every mix has been treated as a structured project which should take you on a journey from start to finish."
 
"I have always been told that being a good DJ is 90% track selection and only 10% mixing capability. However i personally feel that tight, intricate mixing is the cherry on the cake so to speak and is what separates the DJ's who are in it for the passion from the money grabbing spiky haired funky house promoters."
