A couple of days ago I noticed that this month is actually TYFTH’s 5th birthday! That would have been a nice landmark for the next mix, but as it’s a bit late in the day I’ve been thinking instead about a belated session on Ustream to celebrate. It looks as though the Ustream producer software has undergone a makeover since I last used it, but barring any problems I’ll be playing some schranz(!), NRG and freeform on Sunday night (Japan time).
Anyway, I obviously didn’t have a clue what was going to become of the site when I innocently wrote the first post – indeed it was pretty much just a place for top tens and trying out some rudimentary horrendous Japanese (I’m not quite Donald Keene yet, but I hope to the gods I’ve improved since then). Thinking about it, back in August 2007 I was still more than a year away from my Tokyo club debut, had only just finished Yamanote no Oto and was a pretty anonymous presence on the FINRG forums, so there’s definitely been progress on all sorts of fronts.
As always, heartfelt thanks to all the Horsers for their support – it’d be great to see a few people on Sunday for a catch-up.
Happy birthday TYFTH, and congratulations to you Jon!
Oh, and do you happen to know what the time is in Finland when it’s 11pm in Japan? Would love to see and hear the live! 🙂
Awesome. Will definitely try and be there for your Ustream session. 🙂
Should be 6pm in Finland, I think.
And Congratulations to you Plasma.
This is a nostalgic post for me. Although I haven’t been here since the start, this has been my “freeform/finrg” home for a long time.
To the next 5 years then!
Congratulations!
This is a landmark indeed 🙂 It’ll be 3 years for me around now actually, I remember finding the blog after looking for some new Freeform that wasn’t UK… A few months prior to my first ever Freeform set in a club.
Nostalgia indeed… Good times, and here’s to the future!
KAMPAI!
Congratulations Jon and TYFTH! 🙂
Happy birthday tyfth! Still think us lot should all get together and sort a uk tyfth night somewhere. Chip in and get Jon over… Pipe dream maybe but I guess that’s how much this website means to me, I bet you all feel the same! We (the darker side for freeform, in fact freeform in general) are such a tight nit and small group, it’s awesome to be part of such a class genre that is still totally underground. People often slate the rise of dance music, particularly Americas involvement (calling it edm? Fuck off) in mainstream dance, But it really is beneficial for genres like ours as it takes the music we love back underground. Anyway I am rambling like a tramp with a bottle of whiskey in the park. Here’s to the future of freeform! Xx
TYFTH will be an event in Tokyo, possibly in Studio Cube, with PlasmaDancer, Guld and Cogi as DJs and Betwixt & Between, Alek Száhala and Nomic as live acts.
No other option is in any way conceivable; and if there is somewhere and sometime any event labeled “thank you for the horse” we will simply look down on it as a mere copy, an unofficial and “dumbed down” version of the real TYFTH event.
@bernuseqi what the fuck are you going about? Was that you having a go? Don’t really know what you are trying to get at there man. Who the fuck is “we” anyway? I know that a night over here would probably never happen and getting Jon over here to play is a logistical nightmare, but you didn’t have to say you would “simply look down on it as a mere copy, an unofficial and dumbed down version of the real event” sort your self out
it was a joke… lolol? no?
At least I laughed while typing it. :/
Lol I was also joking hehe
Massive Respekt dude.
