Gaiaforce – フリーフォーム楽しい by Gaiaforce

Two mixes to post about tonight, the first of which is Gaiaforce’s new J-Core/freeform set, Freeform Tanoshii. A glance at the tracklist will show that this mix is heading deep into Hardcore Tano*C territory, with a Japan-only selection and some tunes that we don’t often (or ever, even) see on TYFTH.

Starting off with Eternal Cannon, Gaia’s set manages to include tracks as varied as Tano*C anthem Moonlives, Tout est Bien and Outer Space. After a really impressive intro, some of the connections are more successful than others (inevitable really, with this much variety), but the lovely sequence of TeB, Alive in the Darkness and Optical Force features a really nice mix at the end. I might not be a huge fan of the Tano*C sound these days, but I enjoyed this a lot, and there’s plenty of potential for a series of ‘J-Core for a freeform audience’ sets. Gaia is definitely on the right track (and technically already very good), so hopefully it won’t be too long before the next installment.
