Surely everyone’s heard this set by now, but anyone who somehow missed it is in for a real treat. Substanced and Aryx are two artists who’ve really come into their own over the past year, and the guys’ tracks work fantastically well together, maybe even better than I expected.

There’s a great flow to the tracklist too (including some great new material), and it must have done all sorts of damage when heard live. Thank the gods that this is a clean recording though, without the MC who was apparently present during the set – how an MC could add anything of value to a freeform set is absolutely beyond me, but particularly when the tracks are as emotional and aggressive as these. I’d imagine the last thing most people need is a ‘host’ telling them when to dance, and if it was a case of the MC rhyming over the tunes…well, no comment.

Anyway, congratulations to both Substanced and Aryx on an excellent set – it was Aryx’s first gig abroad, but more are sure to follow if he keeps up the momentum that has placed him in the front rank of producers these days.

Thanks to Chip we’re finally able to get our hands on two more sets from last month’s Munted! Monthly! Midas went a bit Duracell bunny at the end of the night, playing an epic 3 hour session of freeform, hardcore and more, but sadly the recording didn’t manage to capture it all.

Instead, sit back and enjoy Chip/Dyzphazia and Nomic, a fitting end to what has been a brilliant series of events. The M!M! shows have done a superb job of bringing together freeform fans from across the world, and giving freeformers the chance to exchange a bit of banter while hearing DJs they might not otherwise have listened to has been a real highlight of the project, I reckon.

Of course, M!M! has also played a massive part in promoting Finnish and Japanese sounds, leading to releases and bookings for more than a few of the artists featured. As we often say, it’s just a case of exposing listeners to our kind of freeform – but it has obviously taken a massive amount of work by both Chip and Midas, who deserve massive kudos (and perhaps some kind of engraved horse trophy) for all their efforts behind the scenes.

Congratulations to Munted! – and of course if you haven’t already, be sure to check out their page for a heady cocktail of freeform news, egg-related puns and badger references.
