Here’s a new mix from one of the regulars at TYFTH, Dyzphazia (aka Chip when he’s commenting here), and it’s very refreshing to hear a set that starts off at 175bpm. Opening with the classic Sunfire, this one is a really nice mix of old and new, just how it should be. He’s been quick off the mark to include Airwave, as well as Genshi Kurage and Hell’s Gate from TYFTH. Other nice selections include Alek’s Lagash and Pain on Creation’s Ironworks, making a set that’s well worth checking out.
On the constructive criticism side, personally I might have changed the order of a few tracks to get some smoother connections here and there – but Genshi Kurage>Iron Works>Unhola works especially well, and I was smiling like a fool while listening to the teasing in of Hell’s Gate over Icy Clouds.
The mix is now up on Dyzphazia’s SoundCloud – and I’d recommend his previous set too, a lot of my favourites are in there.
DL’ing right now. I certainly like the tracklist… :3
Its the same as all my sets really. Something has to inspire them… This one was inspired especially by my new friends over here at TYFTH. Survival of the Fittest was inspired by DJ RX’s Codex series, as you may be able to tell.
I’m a huge fan of Plasmadancer, his tunes and his style. Infact i would go as far as saying its Plasmadancer’s style and selection which had the biggest impact on the way i mix at the moment. I’ve started using tracks i wouldn’t use normally because i’ve found something to mix them with. TYFTH is a major inspiration to me.
This is my Thank You For The Inspiration 😉
Thanks a lot Chip! I know just what you mean about needing inspiration for a mix – it’s genuinely great to hear that TYFTH might have helped with that, and to see new people joining in with the group of NRG fans we’ve got here 🙂
It’s been way too long since I did a Monogatari-style high bpm set, but once NRGetic Romancer (and maybe an event next month) are over the next 170/175bpm mix will be on the go!
