Recently I caught up on all the recent Smiling Corpse podcasts – four sets of excellent quality that no Horser should miss out on.<\/p>\n
Episode 11 features a really interesting, experimental set from Dyzphazia that very skilfully switches between different subgenres to make something very fresh. Making the most of the schranzy-style tracks to bring in new sections, this is one of the best Dyzphazia mixes for a while and a great set to check out if you’re in the mood for something different.<\/p>\n

\n15) Brothers In Techno & ASIN vs. Qygen – Arkhatek Temple (Dyzphazia Bootleg) [CDr]<\/p>\n
Alchemiist’s set from the same podcast is exactly what I hoped for – twisty, solidly mixed and with plenty of older darkness. It’s not always easy to find freeform sets that go for all-out aggression, and with the sprinkling of promos livening things up this is a must-listen.<\/p>\n
01) Pantera – By Demons Be Driven (Alchemiist & Decion Rework) [CDr]
\n02) Alchemiist – Terrible Times [Orrible Noize]

\n11) Lost Soul feat. Dark Angel – Sacrifice (Endemic Remix) [Watchtower]
\n12) Substanced & Alchemiist – Skullcrush [FiNRG]<\/p>\n
Episode 12 keeps things dark with a great set from Olly Addictive that introduces some variety around the basic TYFTH-friendly sound. I often think that mixing other tunes with Alek Szahala tracks is a very risky business, as very little else can match his unique atmosphere and it ends up feeling like a waste (eg. my Lucky Lotus set – Let the Funeral Begin <\/em>works a treat, but Last Glimmer of Hope <\/em>cancels out Sunray’s <\/em>atmosphere and things head off in a different, lighter direction). Anyway, Olly puts the lie to all that with a blinder of a connection, moving straight from Pastor Skinstrom <\/em>into Solar Hive<\/em>. Brilliant stuff, and the rest of the set is melodic but twisted, and definitely recommended.<\/p>\n 01) Unnatural Selection & Cik – Day of Judgement (Ophidian Remix) [Industrial Strength] Finally we have a headline set from Alek Szahala that is hopefully getting the listeners it deserves. The tracklist alone is fantastic, with a few oldies alongside the wonderful Succubus, Raingun <\/em>and Mageslayer<\/em>, but this one also deserves special attention for the mixing style. Maybe the most complex Alek set I’ve heard so far, there’s plenty of mixing before the traditional outro section and a couple of tunes that leap straight into the breakdown, keeping even hardcore Alek fans guessing until the end. A top quality hour then, and the perfect warm up for Alek’s 10th Anniversary set in Helsinki tonight.<\/p>\n 01) Alek Sz\u00e1hala – Intro
