I have to support those that support Rob. I think he is one of the best
DJs out of Detroit, always playing things LIVE, spontaneous, and just
plain however he wants. I don't think I've seen him out of form. This is
a DJ that doesn't hesitate to go from hard techno to deep house to old
acid to Classic Detroit Trax, and back and forth. I LOVE hearing him mix
records...
