It&#8217;ll be coming asap then, along with my Top 3 mixes (I have a couple I want to check out before I make my final choice).<\/p>\n<p>The next apology is <em>In Praise of Shadows <\/em>related &#8211; I&#8217;m now all too understanding of the Watchtower crew and their perpetually delayed third release (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thankyouforthehorse.net\/?p=1416\" target=\"_blank\">out now<\/a> though, of course). The design side is taking far longer than expected, and the lack of logo means 2015 won&#8217;t be ending with the triumphant &#8216;real announcement&#8217; I had in mind. On the positive side, pretty much all aspects of the release are in the works or already complete, and it&#8217;ll just need a few weeks of concerted effort for the compilation to reach its final state.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime there has been a nice development on the licensing front, meaning that a bootleg track will be appearing on the mixed CD as a fully licensed tune. Wish I could say more, but there&#8217;ll be more on that and some CD1 track previews next month.<\/p>\n<p>As a little expression of thanks for the support over the past year, then, I&#8217;ve decided to upload a promo set I put together last year at the request of an event in Asia. It was enough to get me a booking, but Bureaucratic Sod&#8217;s Law struck &#8211; a delayed Japanese visa renewal meant I was unable to leave the country on that very weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the set is intentionally a very short one, to show how NRG and slowed-down freeform could easily find a home at Industrial or Goth events. Among my own sets it has been one of my most-played for a while now, possibly thanks to the presence of a few tunes I don&#8217;t often get the chance to hear\/use. More apologies in advance for the pitched-down Alek tracks, but personally I think they fit in quite nicely as a more demented finale (which in hindsight I could\/should have used to bump up the bpm).<\/p>\n<p>The tracklist looks like this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>01. Beati Mortui &#8211; Let the Funeral Begin (Proteus remix)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>02. Lab 4 &#8211; Requiem (Metatron Hard mix)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>03. Epyx &amp; Cyrez &#8211; Risk Addiction (Substanced remix)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>04. Hase &#8211; Brionac<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>05. Lab 4 &#8211; Hellboy<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>06. Inugami, Lunch, Betwixt &amp; Between &#8211; Reverend Recital<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>07. Alek Szahala &#8211; Maruuk<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>08. Alek Szahala &#8211; Voices of Babylon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finally, special thanks to everyone for the huge support this year. It&#8217;s been pretty special to see the response to the label news so far, and I think we can safely say that 2016 is going to be an exciting one for TYFTH. Happy New Year to all, and I&#8217;ll be back with a vengeance next month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Right then, some apologies are in order &#8211; the traditional &#8216;Top 3 Tracks&#8217; is on its way, but what with one thing and another I haven&#8217;t given those involved anywhere near enough time to make their choices.
