Aryx – Birthday mix (2011) Freeformaniacs show by Aryx

Anyone reading TYFTH will probably have checked out this certified must-listen set already, but here’s a belated post for those who don’t know. After Aryx’s fantastic Chaldea and Aurora, the question was always going to be whether he could possibly match them and keep his inspiration up…

Well the answer’s a big yes – the first half of his Freeformaniacs set is mind-blowingly good, and there’s no doubt that Aryx is now right at the top of the trancy freeform tree, alongside Alek/Paocala. He’s still (understandably) got some work ahead to match Alek’s all-round quality, but the standard here is already amazingly high – among the wonderful new material are little glimmers here and there of the emotional, deeper freeform that we so rarely hear these days, and that’s what makes the set so exciting.

The rest of the set is a nice combination of older tracks, though the more UK freeform-sounding melodies of Transmission can’t quite live with the rest of the quality on show, it might have been nicer to hear something a bit more aggressive/melancholy before Inexistenz.

Anyway, massive congratulations (and Happy Birthday) to Aryx – hopefully this set will get the recognition it deserves!

E-Mantra – Pathfinder

Another non-freeform post, but one of my main inspirations this past year has been Romanian Goa artist E-Mantra, particularly his incredible Arcana. Earlier this month saw the release of his second album through Suntrip, and while on a first listen through the tracks (Metamorphic Resonance is up the top there) Pathfinder doesn’t match the brooding atmosphere of Arcana, there’s some excellent stuff in there, including a couple of fantastic downtempo tunes.

I’ll be ordering a copy asap – check out the Suntrip site for more info (plus a very tasty-looking E-Mantra/Artifact303 showcase set that I haven’t had time to download yet).

Alchemiist – Mechanical Mayhem 2012 (clip) by Alchemiist

I didn’t have time to post about Alchemiist’s newest freeform track at the start of the week, but here it is for anyone who missed it. Stunning stuff this time, building on the excellent original with some properly dark leads and a very original structure. Still under construction, this is really a tune to be on the lookout for…

Destroyed High, 10th December @Tamachi Studio Cube326

Finally a spare moment this week to mention next month’s Destroyed High, where I’ll be playing a guest set on the main floor. Thanks to September’s Sabbath set, more people seem to be aware that I’m still DJing, and it’s fantastic to finally get a booking from another hardcore event.

Although I couldn’t make it to last month’s Destroyed High, it’s turning into a really quality event that has brought back some of the ravers who have been drifting away from the scene over the past year or so. Massive thanks to Dairin and KA-NA for the invitation to play – I’m planning a set heavy on promo/brand-new NRG and freeform, as well as the kind of harder tunes I can’t get away with when opening NRGetic Romancer.

This time there’s an unusual lineup on both floors, with some less-familiar names guesting, while most of the regulars struggle with the horrendous PA on the 4th floor. You’d think that splitting the event might mean that there’s a danger of thinning out the crowd on both floors, but we’ll see…at least I’ll have a chance to catch my first Zio set for a year or so.

10 Years of FINRG – Lineup announced!

Well well…you can imagine how hard it’s been for me not to mention this until Rx’s announcement last night, but the lineups/venue for March’s 10 Years of FINRG are now decided! The main floor is looking utterly fantastic, and although there are three huge absences in Nomic, Re-Form and Epyx & Cyrez, that’s countered by E-NRG, Pain on Creation’s Live PA (!) and a potentially brutal B2B between Heathen and BRK.

I’ll be there too…and not only that, but I’ll be playing a solo set in the second ‘Urban’ room! I’m genuinely honoured to be taking part in such a huge event, and rest assured that I’ll be doing my very best to represent both Hybridize and Romancer.

This could be the event to end all events, and it’s also going to be awesome to finally meet all the wonderful folk I’ve come to know through FINRG and TYFTH. There’s still plenty of planning to be done, but I’ll obviously be in Helsinki, Lahti and possibly elsewhere if time/money allows. Oh, a bit of practical advice for any Horsers planning to attend – apparently there’s a ski event of some kind on at the same time as the event, so despite it still being some way off, most/all of the hotels in Lahti are already fully booked.

Anyway, the countdown begins now – for the time being, massive thanks to DJ Rx, Drumhead (Carbon Based) and the rest of the FINRG crew!

10 Years of FINRG, 3rd March 2012

Early warning, but this is one event that just might be worth selling a limb to get to. Hard to believe, but next year will mark the 10th anniversary of FINRG as a label/organisation, and happily (after the recent fairly quiet spell) there’s something huge under preparation as we speak. DJ Rx will be appearing on DJ Orion’s Finnish radio show this Friday (from 10pm Finnish time?), where he’ll be playing a set and announcing the full lineup for the anniversary event.

[111113] raq’s mix11 “All_of_Kreatrix_Evilution “ by raqhow

Japanese scene regular raqhow is back again with another mix, this time a Kreatrix-only set full of real classics. I haven’t heard a few of these for a long, long time, but they all have that much-missed Kreatrix atmosphere. Once again, the mixing’s fine, and the opening connection between Unleashed and Deep Vibrations is one of the nicest I’ve heard for a while. raqhow’s definitely making progress with his sets, this is another that’s well worth a listen.

  1. Twisted Freq – Unleashed
  2. Anon – Deep Vibrations
  3. Twisted Freq – Dragon Form
  4. Nightforce – Estrogen (feat Twisted Freq)
  5. Horzi – Infernal Psycho
  6. Micken – The Channeler
  7. Substanced – Acid world (Twisted Freq’s party remix)
  8. Twisted Freq – Innocence
