That includes Twitch, as it&#8217;s highlighted there and shouldn&#8217;t disappear anytime soon (if ever?). This was a a very fun set to put together, with many old and new tracks getting a play for the first time. I&#8217;m very happy with the atmosphere, even if (as usual) it was a lot of work to put together.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest Horser-related news from the set was that we had two tracks on show &#8211; my <em>Cyhyraeth <\/em>and Sherkel&#8217;s superb <em>Concealed. <\/em>I&#8217;ve been trying to work out a way to use it in a set for quite a long time now as it has an extremely long, atmospheric breakdown. The opening three tracks of this set (repurposed from a CODEX appearance) are pretty hectic and absolutely set the tone, but are combined in a way that keeps the long breaks to a minimum. That was the perfect platform for <em>Concealed<\/em>, then, and I love the flow of that section.<\/p>\n<p>Of the other transitions <em>Perkele! &#8211; VPN <\/em>is probably my favourite, as they&#8217;re two tracks I&#8217;ve wanted to play for years but are extremely challenging to use well. It was one of those lovely mixing moments when I realised there was potential to combine the two. Another high point was the Twisted Freq section (which needed some 3-deck action to get things working), as I combined the two in that way to reduce the massive breakdowns that you tend to get in Kreatrix tracks. <em>PHASE 6 &#8211; Tigris <\/em>also works really well, linking <em>PHASE 6&#8217;s<\/em> break with <em>Tigris&#8217; <\/em>intro to deepen the atmosphere some more before the dark-but-melodic final part of the set. Oh and <em>Mirage &#8211; Chimaera <\/em>has never been in any of my online\/event sets, but I used a less ambitious version in my first ever freeform mix back in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>I was very happy to see how well the set was received live on Twitch &#8211; a massive thanks goes to Shimo for her raid, and to all the Fairy Forest crew who stayed around to listen. I&#8217;ve played to far fewer people at many club events, and it was a bit overwhelming to try to keep track of the action in the chat. Apologies to those I missed, and I&#8217;ll try to be on top of it next time. It actually crossed my mind to have a mic set up for interacting with everyone listening, but then I&#8217;d need to also record the set through Traktor to get the clean audio. I&#8217;m wary of adding more stress to my overloaded setup, but I&#8217;ll do some tests before deciding one way or the other.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously I missed the March deadline for the next one, but more than ever these days I get the feeling that people expect a certain kind of set from me, and just throwing one together at the last minute wouldn&#8217;t really cut it. With all the newcomers to the scene and the ever-increasing distance between now and the release of those 2000s tracks, hopefully my &#8216;old and new&#8217; style can still hit the sweet spot between introducing the classics to freeform rookies, while pushing the newer tracks and producers that are keeping that spirit alive. On that note, I&#8217;ve put in quite a bit of time to the next mix, with an intro just about decided and another section that has some lovely combinations. I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s pretty likely to appear this month, depending how well I manage the traditionally tricky middle part of the set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last call for TYFTH Live 009, as it&#8217;s been visible in all the usual places since February.
