Textures

This month I pulled a bunch of B-Side out of the dustbin and weaved them together with some top notch music.  I've always found that when you originally assign a track a certain rating it can be deceiving and so I like to do this from time to time as some real gems pop out.  Not to mention this time I also went back a fair ways and picked up some pretty old music that I think still sounds relevant today.

On a side note, I also decided to plug an upcoming event in this month's artwork so if you are in the Calgary area and like the sounds, please come and join me at Habitat on May 25th.

Cheers!

The name of this game this month is moody, which probably is somewhat influenced by how I've been feeling lately.  I have just come through a couple of months of very intensive work as well as a lot of stress.  I think this month's mix reflects that.  Lots of dark and subby basslines and sparsely melodic hooks.  Feels good to go a bit dark for a change.

Enjoy

Sorry for the delay this month, I've found it difficult to find the time to record this month as work has been exceptionally busy.  Never fear though I do have some great tunes to share this month.  This mix is a bit more agressive at times but settles into a pretty nice groove early on.  Enjoy!

This mix turned out to be a bit more introspective than I anticipated.  I think one of the reasons for this was the serrendipity of the whole thing.  I had not left myself enough time to really think the mix through so i just winged it and I must say I'm very happy with the result.  I don't think I would have selected this set of tracks to play but as I listen to them again, they worked out very well and broke me out of a trend I had been setting for myself over the last several podcasts.  I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I have!

I had a conversation with an old friend over the holidays and we were talking about getting back to our roots musically.  From that conversation I began to pull out some tracks that I had recently bought that I felt really laid out the roots of the kind of music that I love and enjoy to this day.  These are new records, but they embody the spirit of the sound that I grew up listening to and trying to play.  This mix is the outcome of that effort and really brings me back to my progressive roots.  For those of you that have known me for a long time, you will hear the undertones of this mix and think to yourself "That is Rob's Sound".  A new mix for a new year, lets kick things off right!

As the holiday season kicks into high gear, I am preparing for a show that is taking place on December 8th with a good friend Chad Hardcastle to celebrate his Label Vivid North's 5th anniversary.  This month's podcast is the output of several days spent pouring over my music collection to find great tracks for this show specifically.  I have some older stuff in here and some brand new cuts as well.  All in all it is a great cross-section of music that speaks to me these days.  Please enjoy the mix and come down to the show at Habitat on Friday December 8th!

Happy Holidays!

So the last couple of podcasts have been on the slower and mellower side so this month I've decided to pick it up a bit.  Higher tempo and energy are the flavours of the month!

Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Some new tunes to help you while away the time pre and post turkey!

Enjoy!

Here is the opening set I played for the Dave Seaman show in Calgary back at the end of July.  Probably one of my favorite mixes that I have put together of all time.  Starting things off really slow at around 100 BPM and slowly working my way up to 120 over 90 minutes.

Enjoy!

I took a bunch of lower tempo tracks that I had been sitting on for a while and put together this month's set.  We start things off and slowly ramp up over the course of the mix.
