TYFTH Tracks reuploaded

I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time, but now there are links for just about all the tracks from the TYFTH SoundCloud that have reached the download limit. Hopefully the Rob.O.T.T tunes will be reupped before long, too. It’s a long and frustrating tale as to why that account is still on pause, but who knows, things might change early next year…

For the time being, be sure to grab any tunes you missed first time around!

RAF World (Journey to Silius – Stage 3 Disorder remix)

RAF World (Journey to Silius – Stage 3 Disorder remix) by _Disorder_

Everyone should be familiar with excellent schranz/NRG duo RAF, but many thanks once again to Meke for pointing me in the direction of offshoot project Disorder. There’s some amazing stuff there, ranging from chiptune to freeform, but it was this fantastic Journey to Silius – Stage 3 remix that caught my eye. Nasty synths and chiptune melodies together? That’s essentially my idea of heaven, so after Alek Szahala and Byproduct’s past sets, it’s great to hear such a full-on freeform version here.

Fraki & Neutron vs Shox – Silent

Fraki & Neutron vs Shox – B1 – Silent by David Shox

Thanks to Meke for letting me know about Spanish Makina producer Shox, who has recently been introducing freeform sounds into some of his productions. After checking the David Shox SoundCloud I particularly liked Silent, a tune with some nice filtered hoovers and weighty percussion. Be warned that some of the other tunes might be painful if you’re not into the cheesier side of hardcore, but Silent alone definitely makes this a project to keep an eye on.

Watchtower Records launched

Yesterday saw the launch of Watchtower, a brand new label with a philosophy on the scene that almost exactly matches TYFTH. Run by Endemic, the label will be aiming to bring deeper, darker, more melancholy freeform to a wider audience, and the upcoming first release is a promising step in that direction.

As well as tunes from UK stalwarts like Lost Soul and Douglas, there are excellent tracks from Aryx (Solar Flare) and Proteus (Get Fire!), while it’s awesome to see Qygen finally recognised by a label. Some of the tunes this time around are heavier on the wobbly basses than I like to play, but overall there’s some really high quality material here and it should prove to be a nice gateway into the deeper sound for some freeform listeners.

Keep an eye on the Watchtower site for more info – preorders are already available for the first release.

Substanced & Alchemiist – Skullcrush

Substanced & Alchemiist – Skullcrush by FINRG Recordings

I recently heard that this tune was under construction, and the preview more than lives up to all expectations. Mixing Substanced’s production and melodies with Alchemiist’s nastiness, this tune has just about everything, including a ferocious DnB section that really adds a lot to the track. Then it’s back to the aggressive filters – what a great tune, and comfortably one of my favourites on the album so far.

Le Dos-on – Experience3 Demo Mix

Experience3 demomix by Le Dos-on

Many thanks to raqhow and Akibakei for introducing me to a very talented freeform producer, Le Dos-on. Quite how I’ve missed his work so far I’m not sure, but it shows all the signs of Betwixt & Between / Finnish influences and some amazingly crisp production. Particular favourites at the moment are INSANE and the very impressive For You (I’m Like Madness remix), and what’s more the tracks are all available for download from Le Dos-on’s SoundCloud.

The top of this post highlights his excellent demo set for Experience 3 – only 30 minutes long, but there’s some genuinely interesting mixing, and a selection that immediately gives you an idea of what he’s all about. Doing a great job of combining darker / older Alek Szahala with Hybridize sounds and the usually impossible-to-mix Lacrima, this is very highly recommended.

  1. Alek Szahala – Man Eaten
  2. Alek Szahala – Ngarnuuk
  3. Digital Anarchy vs Skampy & Mayhem – Illusions of Sound (Horzi & Meke remix)
  4. Substanced – Dream of You
  5. Horzi – Blind Faith
  6. DJ Rx – Lacrima
