Interests

  • General

    Music, music and music. When there's no music there's friends, food and wine. I also have mean powerpoint skills and apparently an interest in consulting to the healthcare sector during the day.
  • Music

    Electronic dance music of all sorts, but anything with percussion is especially my thing. Tribal, funkin' house and weird synths that take you someplace else. That concept of losing yourself in the music is what it's always been for me when I'm out - not running away from anything, but running into the music because you must. And I'm also partial to a little progressive house - how old fashioned of me. The Blog sums up what I've been playing lately.
  • Movies

    Most movies by Woody Allen up to Manhattan Murder Mystery; The Royal Tenembaums; Auntie Mame; Alfred Hitchcock; All About My Mother, Babel; Thank God It's Friday.
  • Television

    Well I'm as up to date with Family Guy as I can be in Australia. It's now Mary Tyler Moore time - be afraid, be very afraid. I'm doing it my way. My way. Oh and I can also be caught watching "At the Movies" with David & Margaret. There's also a lot of Buffy in my closet and Doctor Who of recent times. Are you my mummy? And let's not talk about Lifestyle Food.
  • Books

    Modern Fiction - Margaret Atwood, Jeffrey Eugenides, Jasper Fforde and Patrick Gale.
  • Heroes

    Anybody who's gone out and done what they set out to do - particularly those very few and select promotors of dance music with vision.

About me:

Rob is a Melbourne-based DJ playing tribal / progressive / underground house. .. When Rob plays, he plays to get the hips grinding, and the darker the room, the darker the music. Think percussive, twisted, dirty house, distorted vocals and filthy bass. Rob has been playing for over seven years to a variety of crowds in Melbourne and Sydney and most recently in Singapore. Rob is best known for his residency in Melbourne at Beyond where Rob plays six hour sets taking the crowd on journeys from deep and minimal house through tribal rhythms and dirty classics. Beyond is Australia's leading leather & festish party and Rob has played at Beyond since its inception in 2000. Rob is also known for his residency at Dirty at Phoenix (Sydney) and extra Dirty. Sydney's best monthly underground club night. .. .. In fact, Rob has carved a niche in the leather and fetish community where he has residencies at Dirty at Phoenix (including back to back sets with DJ Mandy Rollins) and Indulgence at the Midnight Shift. Rob has also played: .. Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras 2006 and 2009 .. Sleaze Ball 2006 (back to back with DJ Sveta). .. Inquisition XIII, XIV and XV, Australia's largest leather & fetish party run by Sydney Leather Pride .. Taboo, Singapore (June 2007) .. Rubber Ball 2 .. Woof Club and .. Fantasy NYE (2005-06) .. Other past gigs include Go Underground, Slide, Magnitude, Bimbo Deluxe, The Peel and Bar 44 demonstrating Rob's versatility and skill in targetting music to shake the asses of very diverse crowds. .. There's a history of playlists, current fav music and more at www.djrobgilbert.com - and you'll find newer content here in my blog. .. Rob's latest project is EASY with Miss Eleni - bringing Melbourne an underground house night for everybody - boys and girls together on the dancefloor. ... .. ..
..
And for a sample of what I've been playing, here's my podcast. ENjoy.

    OMG you guys were playing the best music at beyond…it was sensational! I have to say, I haven’t heard Adam (one of my Sydney boys) grunt on the dance floor for quite some time (he grunts when the music is going off…it’s like he is having sex on the dance floor) and he couldn’t stop!
    Thanks for showing us, and all our interstate guests, one hell of a great night, not to mention the girls that joined us as well…who will definitely be back for more!
    Thank you thank you thank you…you both are legendary!!!!
    Love kisses and all things naughty
