１２月１５日にまたエナロマです！参加できる方にBetwixt & BetweenのPROMOミックスをプレゼントしてくれて、楽しみですよ！だから、もしかしたらこのイベントでBetwixt & Betweenは新しい曲をかけたかもしれませんね。
So, almost time for the next NRGetic Romancer. This time, anyone who makes it to the event will receive a live Promo CD, mixed by Betwixt & Between (possibly the August 3rd Anniversary set?). The timing of this would suggest that Betwixt will be playing a few newer tracks this time around – we can but hope, I haven’t heard Surendrajit live yet!
１１月２１日にZIOさんはまたDJやりますよ！「Hell’s Gate」というイベント渋谷で今月始まって、今回のゲストDJはMuneticとYoshimasaです。もしかしたらFreeformじゃなくて、Hard Trance/NRG見たいかもしれませんが、すごく楽しみです！でも、イベントは水曜日ですので、参加できるかな〜
On the 21st of this month, DJ ZIO will be playing again at a new event in Shibuya called ‘Hell’s Gate’, and Guest DJs this time are Munetica and Yoshimasa. For that reason, I’m assuming that this event will be more about Hard Trance/NRG than Freeform – but I’m still definitely looking forward to it. The slight problem is that it’s on a Wednesday (!), leaving me wondering if I can make it or not…
Regardless, it’s great news that another NRG event is starting up in Tokyo.
This month’s NRGetic Romancer lacked any special guests, and it was always going to be difficult to follow August’s event (where Proteus, Adam Lab 4 and Guld all headlined), but Cogi and KA->NA in particular played a couple of incredible sets this time. As always, the event was friendly, inclusive, and everyone attending was also presented with a promo copy of Proteus’ August mix – a fantastic set.
This was the first time for me to hear KA->NA play live, and it’s a shame that she played so early – her track selection and mixing were both spot on. The floor was still farly empty at that point (most people simply hadn’t arrived yet, Tamachi is pretty out of the way, after all), but Cogi followed immediately with a classic Hard/Nu Nrg set – opening up with an awesome edit of The Prodigy’s Break and Enter. [update: It seems that it was a stand-alone track, rather than an edit – Tres chic by Nexus 6. Thanks Cogi!]
DJ Yousuke started slowly, but his set soon built up into his trademark style, an excellent mix of NRG, UK Hardcore, Freeform and Hard Trance, with tracks from Lab 4, Lost Soul, Infected Mushroom, Yoji Biomehanica…
もうすぐエナロマですね。八月のイベントに出席できませんでしたから、すごく楽しみしています。そしてコギさんは一人でHard NRGのセットをかけるらしい。今回は出席する人に先のエナロマでProteusがかけたミックスPROMO CDをプレゼントしてくれます！
So, it’s soon time for the next NRGetic Romancer. I wasn’t able to make it to the event of events in August (where Guld, Proteus and Adam Lab 4 all played), so I’m definitely looking forward to this one – I hear that Cogi will be playing a solo Hard NRG set this time, which should be excellent. Those who make an appearance also get a Promo CD of Proteus’ August live mix. By all accounts it was quite something.
The timetable for Saturday has now been announced, with 1hr 20min sets for both Cogi and Full Circle DJs, and Guld in his usual slot around 3.30. No Zio though (given his semi-retirement from DJing) which is a real disappointment – I only got the chance to see ‘The Japanese Alek Szahala’ play a couple of times.
