Of course I was mainly there to see Guld, and almost everyone from the NRG scene was there too, from the NRGetic Romancer crew to producers\/DJs like Alabaster and Asahi.<\/p>\n<p>I was a bit late arriving, and Guld was already on his third tune, a truly brutal new track from him that I&#8217;d heard before, but sounds incredible through a big PA (there&#8217;s a release forthcoming, so stay tuned). The rest of his set was dark, aggressive and heavy on the vocals, with Nomic&#8217;s <em>New Shit <\/em>remix and Einhander&#8217;s excellent <em>One Immortal <\/em>both making it in. As usual I was dancing through most of it, but stopped to take a video during the Einhander remix of <em>Sagittarius<\/em>, another Guld favourite of the past year. The whole set went down surprisingly well with the mostly tech-dance and cheery UK Hardcore crowd, but just goes to show once again that if people have the chance to listen to our genre it&#8217;ll make them move.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a big if these days though, and a few of us were chatting about freeform&#8217;s worrying recent decline in Tokyo. The DJs and producers are (mostly) still around though, so hopefully we&#8217;ll be able to build things back up again during the rest of this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having been back a month now, I&#8217;m unfortunately remembering the many things I dislike about this city &#8211; thank the heavens for today&#8217;s event at Club Asia then, which turned out to be the perfect escape and a great gathering of ravers from the various sub-scenes around Tokyo.
