If u don't know about Rob--here is some info--

Rob Mirage was born and raised in New York City. Growing up around the influence of music it was only obvious that his goal at fifteen was to get a pair of turntables and learn how to DJ. Starting out Djing block partys and sweet sixteens he knew this was the life he wanted to lead. At the age of 17 he met and became good friends with Keith Carter who was at the time opening up for Hex Hector at Palladium NYC. Carter started taking him to Palladium every weekend to help with his set. It didnt take long before Rob had his own Saturday night spot in Brooklyn at UMC. Djing for promoter John Barbera, he found his passion, in underground house music.

After a couple of years, Rob decided that he wanted to see the world. He joined the U.S. Air Force in 1996 at the age of 19. Within the four years of his enlistment, Rob found himself traveling all over the world. Places like Africa, Europe, South America and Central America to say the least. Stationed in Florida, Rob tried as hard as he could to keep Djing. Knowing that the house music scene was not big out there, he knew he could get a name for himself spinning hip-hop and reggae. He finally got a chance spinning at a local hip-hop club. He slowly gained respect from his crowd and started introducing House music into their scene.

His following got big enough and soon enough had a residency at Nightown, FL. Over the next three years he acquired residencies at Zanzibar, the Den, Galaxy and many more. While in Florida, he also spent a lot of his free time teaching himself the basics of midi and learning how to produce. And by the time he left Florida the underground house scene was strong and his passion for music grew stronger.

Rob returned to New York in June of 2000. After settling in and learning a little more about the industry, he got together with an old friend Chris Bartelli and produced Twisting My Brain. Groovalicious signed it shortly after Victor Calderone dropped it at Crobar for the Winter Music Conference. Twisting My Brain had a huge turn out for a debut single. It reached number 35 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music Club Play Chart. The "Mirage E.P." which was released on Referense Recordings has caught the ear of and is being played by such names as Marcelo Castelli, Saeed and Palash, Chus and Ceballos, Peter Bailey, Carlos Fauvrelle, Mike Macaluso, Richie Santana, Mike Morales and Carlos Menaca just to name a few. His latest release will be out in April of 2004, on Carlos Menaca's label Magna Recordings (Spain), It is entitled "Do You Love Me?". This release had a tremendous buzz at the conference this year and will surely be a huge one for him.
