I welcome you all again to The Decisive Munich Exclusive Series, hosted by Roberto Q. Ingram.
We have with us today a passionate DJ, music lover & Record Collector and a member of the Decisive Crew, Rob Rangelow aka Jackmaster Rob.
He has been collecting records since the mid nineties. Growing up in with a good childhood and lots of music.
His father had a big record collection with lots of soul ,funk ,jazz and blues, so this style music has been a major influence as so with his fascination of the iconic pop star Michael Jackson, like most of the kids at that time. Then in the start of the nineties, he experienced the sound electronic music.
The love for music with no rules and radical, Rob began reading magazines premiering the music & artists that were leaders in electronic music business and trying to understand the history behind it all. His love became so big, that I decided to buy records along with a dj setup, to learn how to play the records, and passion continues on till this day with no vision of stopping.
Jackmaster Rob`s musical influences now are Chicago and Detroit. Chicago House, Jack Sound, Detroit Techno and House . His main interest is rhythm based sound with lot of soul in it. Sound that makes your body start to react wildly. He notes I am not a purist but I enjoy many different styles of dance music.
Be it House, Techno, Minimal, Electro funk, Breakbeats, there is one thing all these genras have in common. It’s real, heartfelt, dirty and not too clean or even sounds that can be heard in the environment around you or sounds that are created by machines, mechanics, nature "pure life".
"Rob loves analog sounds, he also notes that is why I prefer records rather than files, to touch and to feel what I play, that’s what I need. He is very exited about Derrick May and his way of playing records, mixing style, being always active behind the decks, Mr. May is a inspiration for me and Not only as a dj ,also as a musician".
Rob likes to combine old school and new school together. There are so many stories that have to be told and must not be forgotten. This you will hear in his dj mix today. Again Rob Notes - "I hope everyone can enjoy it and I hope that I can take you on a good journey".
From Rob Himself …..Big shouts to Jan and Philipp ,who gave me a chance to listen to their musical perspective. Those two friends of mine gave me a lot of knowledge . Shouts to my best friend Iwan , my best friend for lifetime. And big shouts to Mr. Ingram who’s doing a great job at the decisive podcast series. And shouts to everyone, who is listening to the mix. I made it just for you.
