The world and her husband must have heard this news by now, but it’s worth repeating anyway – Alek Szahala will be making his first appearance at a Japanese event for 7 (!) years, headlining the next edition of CODEX.
10 Years of FINRG was the last time I saw an Alek set, while for most of the Japanese crew this will be the first chance since 2008’s NRGetic Romancer. Once again, enormous respect to Raqhow for all his hard work – if anything was going to bring more Romancer ravers back to the world of NRG and freeform it’s a booking of this quality.
There’s already a massive buzz around the scene here, and I can’t wait for what’s sure to be an amazing event. Keep an eye on the Facebook event page for more news, but for now here’s the lineup information:
“Twisted synth x Acid x Hoover”

Holy shit. Going to Japan so soon was not in my plans, but this leaves me no other option. Have to start checking those flight tickets!
Nice to see things like this happen. π
Fine fine fiiiiiiiiiine. I’ll be the one to say what’s on everyones mind….f’ing record the sets!
Bern
Now that’s a response! Not sure about ‘no other option’, but make sure to drop me an email if you’re really thinking along those lines π

Couldn’t agree more π Freeform will never die etc.

Good call, and I say there’s a pretty high chance of that happening – a couple of events ago they were all recorded, so let’s see…
Sigh…Definitely considering going.
UPDATE: I found a 400β¬ return flight ticket a couple of weeks ago, and was waiting to get my paycheck so I could buy it. In the mean time, I realized I cannot buy online with my debit card because none of the numbers and information are visible (due to overuse and me never using a wallet), and I’m not currently living in Portugal so there was no fast way to solve this. The flight ticket is now at 550β¬, and I still have no method of buying it.
I COULD ask someone to buy it for me here, but I don’t feel good asking people I barely know to trust me with 550β¬. Another option would be to go to the nearest airport (which is in another city lol), and buy the flight tickets directly there. I’ll keep you updated fellow horsers.
GET HYPE
Ordered my tickets a couple of days ago. Get hype indeed… :p
@Bern: Go for it!
Wow , Will You come to CODEX5 from oversea? It surprised me! π
I remember Bern travelling all the way to the tiny Finnish town for a freeform party, so he may just mean business when he says that! π Wish you luck in getting the tickets. _b
Thanks Juhana! I’m hoping Jon will have saved a ticket for me in case they’re sold out already.
Tomorrow I’m finally going to buy the damn flight ticket (ended up having to ask someone to do it for me). Staying in Tokyo for at least a month so it should be fun. π
Bern, this is fabulous news! You’re on the guest list for sure, and we’ll have to catch up away from the event if you’re staying for that long. Speak soon, I dare say π
