Kaiser Belial Mix by GULDJP

I’ve been looking forward to Guld’s new set for a while now, and in all honesty it’s one of the best mixes I’ve heard for a long time. Full-on NRG from start to finish (with a couple of freeform tracks for good measure), this is just the kind of dark, aggressive sound we don’t hear enough of these days. The selection is spot on, but Guld has also done a quality job with the mixing, with some very nicely thought-out connections here and there. There are one or two tracks that I’ve been planning to use in my next set too, but mine’ll be 170-175bpm, I think.

No tracklist at the moment, but this one easily gets a golden TYFTH seal of approval. Take a deep breath before downloading though, as the wav file weighs in at around 500mb..

Thanks to kuilin/eirik for adding it to the comments section, but here’s Guld’s tracklist for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet:

  1. Seileen – Lamento della Sirena (Guld remix)
  2. Beliar – Jigsaw (Alchemiist & Decion Fuckin’ Filth Mix)
  3. Betwixt & Between – Paradoxical Silence
  4. Beati Mortui – Let the Funeral Begin (Proteus remix)
  5. ADAM Lab 4 – Infernal Desire (Lab 4 Psycho Surgery remix)
  6. DJ Manik – Lucid (Guld remix)
  7. Alek Szahala – Sunray (Android Lime remix)
  8. Einhander – Fourbeast
  9. Epyx & Cyrez meets Heathen – All of Us
  10. Stereo Junks – Chemistry (Proteus remix)
  11. Hase – Bionac
  12. Guld – Hannya X
  13. RR-ThermalForce – Rockin’ (Phosphorescence mix)
  14. Boot

 Here’s another set, this time via Pearsall’s Sonicrampage blog. Mixed by Flip back in 2005, it’s a nice reminder of how things used to sound and features some excellent selections, including a couple of older Twisted Freq tracks. Listening in 2011 it seems like the set is a bit short on interesting transitions, but it’s definitely refreshing to hear tunes like Tlaloc and Underworld Species again.

01. Twisted Freq – Martyrdom (Volatile Digital Audio)
02. Carbon Based – Fatal Flashback (Electronic)
03. Pain On Creation – Adaptation (Finrg Digital)
04. AMS – God Of Hell Fire (Nu Energy)
05. Oli G & Dodgee – Heh (Nu Energy)
06. Invader & Oli G – Living Hell (Digital Beatz)
07. Alek Szahala – Tlaloc (Electronic)
08. Cynista vs Safe n’ Sound – Chemical Warfare (Nu Energy)
09. Carbon Based – Anger Ball (Nu Energy)
10. Kevin Energy – Crescendos Of Ecstasy (Nu Energy)
11. Twisted Freq – Burnin’ Up (Volatile Digital Audio)
12. Pain On Creation – Mortality (Electronic)
13. Carbon Based – Underworld Species (Electroplates)

NRGetic Romancer, 7th May

Finally it’s time to post a quick review of the last Romancer. With all the guest artists and the ever free 4th floor, it ended up being one of the best for a long time, with a pretty high turnout of ravers from different scenes. Guld put in a huge amount of work for this one, so well done to him, and all of us were pretty busy for the whole night. That means that there might be a few gaps when it comes to photos/video…

Before the event it was great to meet up with Jody 6 again, and we ended up giving Bootek a quick tour of the crazier corners of Harajuku. Bootek was another genuinely nice guy, and it was pretty educational talking to him about the hard dance scene in the UK…the scale of events/what labels get up to is like something from another planet for us here.

A slower set this time from Australia’s DJ Fez – it’s actually a re-recording of his FUNERAL set though, and well worth a listen. It starts off with hard trance, but you’ll notice how the tunes get harder towards the end as Fez sets up for ConfigSys PROJECT.

1] Hypernox – To The Moon
2] Lab 4 – Concept of Love (SQ Remix)
3] Manik & Future Resonance – Response (Rob.O.T.T. Remix)
4] Scott Genetik – Higher
5] Hypernox – Desire
6] Steve Hill & Technikal – Can You Dig It?
7] PSR & Scott Genetik – Turn the Heat Up (Jody 6 Remix)
8] Sebastien – Implosive State
9] Hypernox – Shock To The System
10] Hypernox – My Command
11] GULD – Hannya X (Android Lime Remix)
12] Psycho Keaton – Hell Night (Android Lime Remix)

New releases from ConfigSys PROJECT

ConfigSys PROJECT – Ode To Charli by FINRG Recordings

Check the FINRG SoundCloud now and you should find three new releases from Australia’s ConfigSys PROJECT. All of them were big hits at FUNERAL, and are definitely up there as some of my favourite ConfigSys tunes so far. The three tracks are the vocal/guitar driven LUST, the dark and twisty Sinews of thy Heart and Ode to Charli (above), a great track that did some serious damage in Nagoya.

Just a quick commercial break to draw your attention to the FINRG Recordings page on Facebook, too – become a fan there and you’ll get a link to SoundCloud the moment a new track is released.

ConfigSys PROJECT (This is…)

ConfigSys PROJECT has just released an awesome promo video, with dark and moody semi-apocalyptic scenes segueing scarily well into footage from FUNERAL in Nagoya and other events. Playing in the background is one of my favourites from CFS, Pariahs Son.

Fans of ConfigSys should keep watching this space during the next day or two for more good news…
