I’m late posting this one up, but it deserves some promotion – TYFTH is the perfect place to give J-Mx’s newest mix a shout. Made up of mostly Japanese tracks, it’s a very melodic set with some great selections. It’s obvious that J-Mx spent a lot of time on finding good connections between tracks, which is how it should be for a mixtape/studio mix, and he’s definitely made strides since his first uploaded set earlier this year.

Selection-wise, there’s an inspired opening from Nachi Sakaue’s Eternal Dream into Mood Music, as well as a couple of my favourite Alabaster tracks in a really excellent first half. After Betwixt & Between’s Nemesis, the set morphs into the kind of ‘happy Japanese freeform’ that I’m not so keen on, but that’s just me – the mixing is still very good, and fans of the Tano*C sound etc should really enjoy it. Overall, it’s a very nice set indeed, and a good showcase for a slightly different sort of Japanese freeform.
