１２月１５日にまたエナロマです！参加できる方にBetwixt & BetweenのPROMOミックスをプレゼントしてくれて、楽しみですよ！だから、もしかしたらこのイベントでBetwixt & Betweenは新しい曲をかけたかもしれませんね。

So, almost time for the next NRGetic Romancer. This time, anyone who makes it to the event will receive a live Promo CD, mixed by Betwixt & Between (possibly the August 3rd Anniversary set?). The timing of this would suggest that Betwixt will be playing a few newer tracks this time around - we can but hope, I haven’t heard Surendrajit live yet!

１１月２１日にZIOさんはまたDJやりますよ！「Hell’s Gate」というイベント渋谷で今月始まって、今回のゲストDJはMuneticとYoshimasaです。もしかしたらFreeformじゃなくて、Hard Trance/NRG見たいかもしれませんが、すごく楽しみです！でも、イベントは水曜日ですので、参加できるかな〜

On the 21st of this month, DJ ZIO will be playing again at a new event in Shibuya called ‘Hell’s Gate’, and Guest DJs this time are Munetica and Yoshimasa. For that reason, I’m assuming that this event will be more about Hard Trance/NRG than Freeform - but I’m still definitely looking forward to it. The slight problem is that it’s on a Wednesday (!), leaving me wondering if I can make it or not…

Regardless, it’s great news that another NRG event is starting up in Tokyo.

Twisted Freq’s most recent mix has been downloadable for the last week or so, and it’s a real stormer, featuring a fair few tracks from the upcoming Kreatrix Evilution Vol 3 and Vol 4. Channel[l]er could be the best Micken track I’ve heard in a long while, and The Ghost of Jupiter is a great track (and a great name). The newest remix of Innocence (this time by Nu-Energy’s A.M.S) is very nicely done, and is far enough removed from the original to be listened to on its own terms, if you see what I mean (a problem I sometimes have with remixes). TF’s remix of Epyx & Cyrez’s Unohdetut is also an excellent tune.

Perhaps most interesting are the two inclusions from Betwixt & Between, Phaedra and Surendrajit. It turns out that I’ve heard both tracks before, although Surendrajit went by the name of Garuda back then. Both tracks have been Kreatrixed since I last heard them, and really fit nicely into the typical Twisted Freq atmosphere - while losing some of the Betwixt & Between uniqueness, it must be said. Anyway, Surendrajit in particular is an absolute belter of a track, and quite possibly the best that he’s managed so far (and definitely the most Szahala-like of his tunes). I’m definitely looking forward to the next few Kreatrix releases - with Epyx & Cyrez/Betwixt on board, things are going to be very interesting, for sure.
