About the DVD:
DJ Rob Swift: Live! The Documented Movement
On February 25, 2010 one hundred or so New Yorkers braved through blizzard conditions and gathered at Club Legion in Brooklyn, NY to celebrate the release of Rob Swift's 4th album THE ARCHITECT. As much as that night served as a prelude to his various tour dates throughout the globe, spreading the word of his latest LP, it was also a nostalgic reminder of Rob's humble past as a member of the X - men. "We used to pack small rooms, intimate venues... just like this... and we'd be excited!" Hence, welcome to DJ Rob Swift: Live! The Documented Movement.

Extras:
Fat Beats Farewell Instore - Due to the drastic decline of record sales in recent years, Fat Beats Record Store (NYC) closed it's doors in September of 2010. DJ Rob Swift and Breez Evahflowin say good bye with a performance that will forever be etched in the minds of those who turned out to pay their respect to a New York City Hip Hop landmark.

Rob & Butcher Interview - Here's an intimate look into the relationship Rob has with his mentor, Dr. Butcher. Both converse about their practice habits, approaches to DJing and how they inspired each other to create.

Rabia Music Video - Behind the scenes footage of Rob Swift preparing to shoot the "Rabia - 2nd Movement" music video.

I always look forward to hearing new music from Nick Nack. So when I saw he was featured on Exponential Records Texas Compilation I had to check it out. I was not dissapointed. His track 'Life In The Speaker', is one of fourteen, all from Texas based producers. The compilation is free if you download the whole thing.
