Here’s a very interesting next release in the Kreatrix series, the ‘Japanese Edition’. This time a few of the newer artists on the Finnish scene are featured, as well as Twisted Freq himself. Although some might conceivably complain about the number of remixes and originals on one CD, I actually think this isn’t a bad idea at all – it’s always interesting to hear how an artist has messed around with/improved on the original, and my experiences of freeform remixes so far are that most artists are creative enough not to simply slap a breakbeat on top of everything, and then call it a day.
One of the tracks here is effectively a ‘remix of a remix’, Exaltation Reborn (Cyrez and Sam One remix). The original Exaltation (by Level 13) is an absolute classic, so this and Twisted Freq’s new version are probably the tunes I’m looking forward to most. Having said that, I’ve been waiting for Usurper for a very long while now, and Reboot the System and Acid World are also great tracks… An honourable mention to Horzi too, what with Still Alive and Life For Freedom (with Alchemiist) being his first Kreatrix releases.
Better Tomorrow is being absolutely caned by freeform DJs at the moment, so I’ve got high hopes for these, too.
