It&#8217;s also time to stop the Nomic comparisons now that Ri-nergy has developed such a strong style of his own &#8211; taking plenty from the master himself of course, but sounding very &#8216;modern Japanese freeform&#8217; in the best possible way. There are lots here that I&#8217;ve already had in mind for a set, and others that I&#8217;ll be checking out asap, thanks to an extremely useful tracklist with links to various compilations.<\/p>\n<p>The mix itself has a few more uncomfy moments in transition than <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/risanrg\/promo-mix\">the first promo set<\/a>, but they don&#8217;t stick around for too long. As always, it&#8217;s a lot easier to forgive them in an artist set, and it does avoid the other tedious extreme of trundling though the DJ-friendly intro and outro section of every track. The tracks themselves are superb, with some genuinely standout emotional moments that match anything we&#8217;ve heard in the last decade. I&#8217;ve even noticed Ri-nergy&#8217;s releases popping up in the occasional UK freeform set, so he&#8217;s probably doing more than anyone right now to nudge both listers and DJs back towards the sounds of the golden era. A special mention too for Ende&#8217;s wonderful visuals that accompany the YT version of the set &#8211; I hope we see more of this in the future.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve plenty more sets to mention, so stay tuned, and there&#8217;ll be at least one new one from me pretty soon &#8211; more about that on Mastodon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone pining for emotional pianos and filtery leads has to check out Ri-nergy&#8217;s second promo set, as they don&#8217;t get any better than this in the current freeform scene.
