Big fan of breaks, house and prog but get into most things out there except; cheesy trance, the angry side of d'n'b and anything that ends in 'core'. Started mixing and collecting vinyl about mid '03 and been addicted ever since.
Please get in touch if you're selling any of the unrated tunes in my wantlist, I will buy it if the price is fair. I try to let people know if I've seen items in their wantlist for sale somewhere, please do the same for me. I'm always up for a chat too.
FOR ANY SHOPPERS OUT THERE:
If I've given a choon 1 or 2 - I'll probably sell it (or swap for something in my wantlist preferrably).
If I've given a choon 3 or more - It's unlikely that I'll part with it. Feel free to make an offer (but it had better be good).
FOR ANY TIGHTARSES OUT THERE:
Don't ask me for rips - there's plenty of sites around for downloading.
FOR ANYONE WHO'S INTERESTED:
I'm slowly adding my CD collection to Discogs under the profile pseudorob-cd.

James Lavelle - Global Underground #026: Romania - 08-May-05 07:15 PM
This is a disgrace.
I've seen James Lavelle several times live and he always delivers an interesting, eclectic and boundary-crossing mix, well reflected by his Fabric Live 01 effort. From that promising start there has been a steady decline which has been bitterly disappointing.
For mine, his subsequent mix (GU:Barcelona) was a moderate disappointment - solid track selection but nothing interesting or inspiring about it. Then we get GU:Romania - less a mix than a shameless vehicle to promote his own label, material and remixes.
Disturbingly, this is becoming all too common in mixes these days. The term 'sell-out' comes to mind...
Girl Nobody - Sirens - 02-May-05 12:20 PM
The Monkz remix on this release has single handedly rekindled my interest in prog house. Admittedly I don't listen to everything that gets released, but this is the first prog track I've heard for over a year that seems to go somewhere. Just the right mix of deep, dirty and groovy with a light bjork-esque vocal that suits the rhythm down to the ground. The Shiloh mix on the flip is a nice proggy-breaks track too - very solid release.
Plump DJs - Soul Vibrates / Bullet Train - 21-Mar-05 02:17 AM
I have to agree with damnage - this is definitely a step in the right direction (in my opinion) from the rather indifferent 'Eargasm', which had a few highlights but didn't blow my socks off. 'Bullet Train' is a cracker of a track and the clear winner on this release. At first I wasn't too sure about the cheesy-ish synthesizer stab breakdowns riddled through it, but hey, it seems to work on crowds. From what I've seen they tend to invoke plenty of finger points and even a bit of air-synth.
Hybrid - Hybrid Present: Y4K (Part Two) - 04-Dec-04 07:50 AM
For those of us lucky enough to catch Hybrid on their recent (2004) tour of Australia, the track Blackout might sound somewhat familiar. That's beacuse they used it with vocals and mandolin samples from REM to form a remix of "The Great Beyond". I imagine this wasn't exactly legal, so they used the track together with vocals from Kirsty Hawkshaw to produce Blackout (a top tune in it's own right).
This situation is reminiscent of when they remixed Alanis Morissette's "So Pure" and were then forced to release it without vocals and labelled "Jaded Little Pill - Accelerator", after legal attention. The remix (with vocals) still made it to a white label release (cat # WM 517 if you're interested) and I'm hoping the REM mix does the same.

Drum-Attic Twins, The* - Tribal Tension - 22-Nov-04 01:15 AM
One of my favourite tracks of all time. Great crossover potential and timeless (I reckon). It was first released back in 2000 as "Lee Coombs & The Drum-Attic Twins Tribal Vocoder Dub Mix" of De-Phazz - The Mambo Craze (Mole12-6 for those interested). One of the first (if not the first) tribal nu-skool breaks tunes - essential!
