So after months of hard work, the results are finally here.
First of all, "Behind the iron curtain" EP came out on Elevated Press Records and is available on all major digital music retailers. It is 6 tracks deep balanced between a heavier sound and more chill-out vibes. You can check the previews below:

Ha, I haven't been maintaining this page for some time so I decided I need to put some fresh info here. First check some new tunes on the soundcloud page:
http://www.soundcloud.com/robustus

There are quite a few of them since last time I wrote here. A few banging collabs with my buddy Phil Beat70 and some other interesting ones.

About releases:
Thoughts Fly Off/Hopes for Romance Single will be available in the online stores in mid-december. Coming out on Elevated Press Records. Previews available on soundcloud... Look for it on Juno and Itunes.

I am also preparing a new EP that is supposed to come out, again on EPR, sometime next year. If everything goes as planned this one would be a killer!

And a little treat, a free release you can download from soundcloud. A deep & dark minimal tune that as someone said is "creepy as f@$k" and "makes you faint" :)
Check it out:

2010-02-11T11:43:00.004-05:00

something ive been workin on for some time now and
its still work in progress. this current version was
inspired by the two day snow storm we got in NY this week.
im usually not into dark sounds like that but i guess i was
in a similar mood while i was making it.
comments n suggestions are welcome

COMMENCING

2009-07-14T09:44:00.009-04:00

Hi everyone, i'm back in the game!
As you can see I have a new blog and a new name (which should not bother any of you).
After months of procrastination I finally uploaded it and I am now working on my first set mixed on vynil... It's called 'After Sunset' and features a nice selection of tracks from 2009 and 2008 as well as some older classics.

I am also going to update frequently my top 10 atm and post reviews of local parties in the city area of New York. Updates on labels/releases are also going ot be included.

Peace out and stay tuned for updates!
