Amini – Lost Elegy (Preview) by DJ-Amini
Amini’s back already with another new track, this time a pacy freeform tune that’s very much in the Substanced mould. I love the filters in this one, especially after the breakbeaty interlude, and the all-round quality really is high enough for it to pass for one of Substanced’s own. Amini’s on a roll now, let’s hope he can keep it going.
Thanks to Technoid for pointing me in the direction of this new interview with Proteus, marking his upcoming double set epic at Sinistry this weekend. The great man always gives a good interview, and this one has some particularly nice info on his industrial group and upcoming gigs. I can only find the interview on Facebook at the moment though, so probably only those who’ve sold their soul to Zuckerberg’s Procrastination Engine will be able to view this link for now.
B.R.K. – Keep on pushing by FINRG Recordings
Massive congratulations to Italian producer/DJ BRK for his new release on FINRG, Keep on Pushing. His production has improved beyond recognition during this past year, and with this and other new material he’s really nailed the Lab 4-style sound.
I thought the Harder.fi Weekender was starting tomorrow, but Tyranoid/Strongstream are midway through their set right now. Check out the stream here, and there’s a brilliant looking lineup for the next couple of days, too.

Congratulations to Sade on its 13th (!) Anniversary, and for a monster of an event recently. There were a few interesting sets for FINRG followers, though sadly there doesn’t seem to be a lot of footage online yet. For now, here are some short but atmospheric clips from Tyranoid/Strongstream, Carbon Based and Substanced.
DJ Taber is responsible for keeping the Finnish sound alive over in Nagoya, and here’s 10-minute segment of his set at ReD ZoNe last weekend. Mad Man, Sucker and the fantastic selection of Awa definitely shows what he’s all about.
By the way, (as you might have guessed) Real Life has interrupted TYFTH for the past few days, and most of the stuff I had planned is on pause right now. Bear with me though, and I’ll be catching up on posts for the rest of the the week, as well as doing a ustream set this weekend.
Another mix to enjoy today, this time from fellow Horser and Freeformaniacs crew member BEEZEE. We’d been warned to expect some darker tunes, and our man definitely doesn’t disappoint, with the kind of consistently nasty/twisted atmosphere that would cause chaos on dancefloors here. After BEEZEE’s excellent past mixes it’s no surprise that the mixing is really top class (that Moonshine>Godd connection is very special), and it’s also interesting to see the tracklist similarities between this and Dyzphazia’s Munted set (previous post). Congratulations to Amini for having Eupraxia played in both!
Once again then, another must listen – download the whole set (with the one like Stray on mic duty) via the Freeform Forum thread.

2. Epyx + Cyrez – Moonshine
3. Marco V – Godd (Tyranoid + Strongstream bootleg)
4. Substanced – Freeform Mercury
5. Alek Szahala – Adagio for Strings
6. Endemic + Solution – Outbreak (rx remix)
7. Substanced – Lost Temple II
8. Epyx + Cyrez – Andromeda
9. Twisted Freq – Dirtier World
10. Amini – Eupraxia
11. Epyx + Cyrez – Kanashibari
12. Rank 1 – Airwave (Betwixt + Between bootleg)
Massive congratulations to Dyzphazia, Midas and the Munted crew for what looked like a really successful online event on Friday/Saturday. I managed to catch 30 minutes or so over breakfast, and it looked like there was a very decent crowd in the Krafty chatroom.
Dyzphazia’s set is now online for download, and it’s an essential listen if you didn’t catch it first time around. This time Chip has gone all out for variety, fitting in some brand new Finnish tracks, Betwixt, Alek and some classic oldies. As you’d expect, the mixing is rock-solid (with Lemonade Raygun>Rock n Load being my favourite, I think), and the plan of coming up with a ‘club-style’ set seems to have worked nicely, with the atmosphere often switching from nasty to trancy, and then back again.
A brutal week is playing havoc with the posts right now, but I’m just in time to give BEEZEE’s Freeformaniacs set a shout. It’ll be broadcast at 10am (UK time) on the 29th, and by all accounts there’ll be some quality, nasty freeform on show. Support a fellow Horser, and be sure to check out Krafty Radio for the stream.
It’s been a while since we last heard from Tyranoid/Strongstream, but they’re back with this awesome music video to promote their new(ish) remix, Massive Line. Complete with footage of the guys playing at events, it’s really well put together and very atmospheric, especially with the trademark acid coming in towards the end. Congratulations to T&S on a very nice project!
