It was an excellent event that gives me hope that there might be a future for freeform at Tokyo hardcore events after all, especially with producers of the quality of the outstanding Le Dos-on and up-and-coming DJs like raqhow and Nrgray.<\/p>\n<p>It was great to meet both raq and Le Dos-on (as well as ikaruga) for the first time, and their b2b set was just phenomenal. Le Dos-on&#8217;s production is coming on at an amazing rate, and his newest material is sounding like a powerful mix of FINRG, Hybridize and Betwixt &amp; Between. Raqhow also came up with some quality selections &#8211; the combination of an artist playing his own stuff while a DJ responds with tracks from around the scene was amazingly effective, I&#8217;d love to see that happen more often. Here are the two videos from their set, click below for a quick look at what else was going on.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"430\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rkNo6JWTyLw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"430\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/buVX3XMM7jk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Nrgray played one of the standout sets for me of course, heavy on Finnish freeform and Japanese tunes. He started off with the NRGetic Romancer edit of <em>Global Killer, <\/em>before squeezing in a lot of his favourite tracks. The mixing was very impressive (especially while dealing with the lounge speakers), but he actually recorded a studio version that apparently is that bit smoother. Check for yourself, just down below, and hopefully we&#8217;ll be hearing more from him during this year.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F37199010&amp;auto_play=false&amp;show_artwork=true&amp;color=6fa81c\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It was great to see 490 again, and as a fellow digital DJ (with a truly insane collection of gear) we always have some interesting chats about how we&#8217;re getting on\/what we&#8217;re using these days . He was back on the CDJs this time though, playing UK Hardcore that really got the crowd going. I didn&#8217;t remember to take a video, sadly, but here are two more &#8211; some quality hardcore\/speedcore from Ikaruga_nex and high bpm schranz from EXCALiPUR.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"430\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FjRxg_cR9bI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"430\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lqfj-_95PdI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Finally, don&#8217;t forget to check out raqhow&#8217;s excellent promomix for Experience! It&#8217;s a really nice set (especially the danceable melancholy of the first section), and is highly recommended:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F37111881&amp;auto_play=false&amp;show_artwork=true&amp;color=6fa81c\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend I managed to head along to Experience!, and even remembered to take a few videos.
