Thank You For The Horse

About

Thank You For The Horse was created in August 2007, and is dedicated to the dark, hard and melodic freeform and NRG electronic genres. The site’s main focus is the Japanese scene, but will also keep a close eye on tracks, artists and events from across the world.

PlasmaDancer was born in the UK, but is now living in Tokyo, Japan. His interest in electronica began in the early 1990s, listening to trance, house and old-skool hardcore/jungle. The intervening years have seen his tastes encompass early Prodigy tracks, Happy Hardcore, techno, and a decade-long addiction to Intelligent Drum & Bass. His first exposure to Freeform/NRG was a recording of Betwixt & Between’s set at NRGetic Romancer in 2005. The mix included one track by Alek Szahala (Supriya), and was the catalyst for his investigation of the Finnish scene.

PlasmaDancer’s mixes generally aim to promote Japanese artists to the outside world - but any nicely melodic/dark tracks (regardless of country of origin) are sure to find their way in there, too. He first started to DJ at events in Tokyo in 2008 as a member of Hell’s Gate, and also joined Hybridize (a sublabel of FINRG Recordings) as an in-house ‘Hybridize DJ’ in October of 2008. He has since become a member of NRGetic Romancer (Japan’s largest Hard NRG event), where he now plays alongside Guld, Cogi, Betwixt & Between, Full Circle DJs and gokuraku & Yuusuke.
