I don't find the full version youtube link, but it's the first time I heard alb's ruins of jade, it's really massive track and heard it many times these days.
It took me a long time to realize that this wasn't a promo, but was released on Sound Ave.
The version played in Plasmadancer's mix (or other sets) seems to be slightly different from the released version. Many DJs speed it up, to match the bpm of freeform.
The melody synth sounds like a crystal, when it comes with alb's heavy chainsaw I'm satisfied

Taking a quick break from the set prep to confirm that TYFTH Live 011 will be happening tomorrow (25th) from 19:00 JST.
There's way more going on in the set this time around (using 3 decks here and there), which'll hopefully make up for the false start last week. It's still freeform on the psychedelic side, and pretty dark, even if I'm saving some recent tracks (you know the ones) for the FINRG set.
Been listening to a lot of SaGa lately (thanks in part to CDR), and since all roads lead to Betwixt, I had the best remix of one of my favorites already. This is one I'd have binge-listened in 2004 if I knew about it; it's exactly what I'd have gone for back then and it'd be nice to think he and I searched for a MIDI around the same time. Extra points for a fitting new title: Desperate!!
I'm back in Tokyo for a few days, so that means a weekday TYFTH Live! It'll be happening tomorrow (19th) at 19:30 JST. I've settled on the tracklist and it'll be on the longer side - a three-deck set of goa trance with a bit of NRG.
I've also been tinkering with the studio set for FINRG, as well as sorting out some ideas for 014 (which'll be freeform).
In the meantime, same place as usual for tomorrow's set!
Looking back to when I first got into freeform, Alabaster's Santuario remains the most uplifting track I've heard at this tempo. With the restrained high end and never sounding overproduced, it makes me curious to discover (or create) more like it.
A rare freeform track from umbrella, some acid & twisted elements surprise me a lot, If anyone want to know his style more, I think this track is a good choice.

Should have added the link yesterday! Will be going live in about 25mins with a set of (mostly) melodic freeform and some newer releases here and there: https://www.twitch.tv/plasmadancer

Constantly radiating confidence with its ominous pads and forceful chord progressions, The Brinicle by Cyrez is the western hemisphere's track of the week. (It's great that he's still active, huh? I almost picked a newer one.)
Madness, Dark & NRG, Someone mix them and then we get Re-form.
It's hard to choose my best Re-form track, but it's easy to choose one to be my weekly favotite.
Re-form's tracks in Electronica Exposed (and sublabels) are all energetic

Sticking with classic Epyx & Cyrez for this week's track, this has to be one of their darkest:
Dig UK oldskool Freeform Labels' tracks is a interesting thing, but today I want to make my memory back to the JP style, BTW's Skybreak is my no.1 this week. It's also my favorite from all xtreme hard compilations (although I forget too many tracks which were released after VOL.3 ).

like this CB track, although I never found this track released in other labels.
How many tracks are there that these freeform / Hard NRG producers haven't released a unmixed edit? IDK

That set I mentioned is on YT now, and it's a special one - a Betwixt & Between Live PA that's up there as one of his very best:
I'm behind on TYFTH tracks right now, so this might be the first of a couple this week. The perfect Proteus track, and quite possibly the one I've played most...
Let's at least get a track here to start the week off on the right foot - it's a hard one to fit into modern sets, so Starfall is often a standalone track for me these days. A favourite of Zio's, I have some lovely memories of hearing him play this one at Studio Cube:
Standalone tracks are overdue? Okay, full Crurifragium is kind of cheating, but...what, it's still not released? Fine, then! I will share his...Maruuk! This is everything FINRG is about, or at least should be about. Simple but strange sounds overlapping to create a particular unique feeling within the perpetual motion, then taking that feeling further with harmonies. Be careful clicking links in public...this is powerful stuff.
There are rumors of a "Thank You For The Gopher net radio hijacking" this coming weekend. They're all completely true. More details to come as they are made known to me. #SHRK #TYFTG #hardNRG #freeformhardcore #ShibilantRekordings
Something I forgot to mention recently - I finally sorted out the copyright trouble with Proteus' NRGetic Romancer set and it's listenable again. It first went online years ago so this might be the first chance for many to hear it!
There was no freeform last week, but back this week.
FCD's acid is really unique, I like what these guys show, it's really long but not makes me feel boring
Except for their own lives, I seldom found DJs use their tracks,It's a shame

I was at Mogra in Akihabara yesterday to finally meet and see @Ri_nergy play for the first time - lovely to hear one of the new generation bring such a well-mixed and selected Finnish/Japanese set to a club in 2024.
Not sure of the whole tracklist, but it ranged from Harder Than You Think to some unreleased Ri-nergy, via Nomic and Astraia. Good going in 40 minutes!

Check it out again again! It's exciting that Thanatos comes back and remix a classic from him & BTW!

This is a BTW favourite! I rarely share tracks from the UK, but it got my love and my mind started to go back to the world of 90- 00s Nu Energy freeform and tried to find something interesting!

More posts on TYFTH tomorrow, but for now an early TYFTH Live announcement - planning a 'best of 2024' set for Sunday evening, 21:00 JST. Might not be as smooth as usual so I can fit everything in, but there'll be at least a few that haven't been mentioned on TYFTH yet!
In the last two or three days, it feels like it's going to get very busy with somethings, and I gave myself a break for a while.
I always could't stop listening Full Circle DJs, such as their 'Psychedelic New Rose' & 'Big Kisses And Darkness' in the past.
Just like a sedative.
These days I tried to mashup some tracks to keep my mind calm. I chose the 'Digital Torment' by qygen & wyrm, and orbit 1 remix of Buzzmasta's 'shoreline'.
Actually I have mixed them at my earlier set already.They are both peaceful freeform tracks, I wanna create a world of serenity and peace, the world the buzzmasta shows to me.
You could download it in here, it's free.
