It&#8217;s been awesome to reconnect with that genre, which I&#8217;d kind of stopped listening to for a while there, so when DJ Meke got in touch and asked if I would like to contribute a freeform\/trancecore mix to DI.fm&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2012\/01\/old-school-mix-marathon-iv\/\">Old School Mix Marathon IV<\/a> I didn&#8217;t need to think twice before saying yes.<\/p>\n<p>In all honesty, this mix is not too dissimilar to Rampage Turbo 8 &#8230; not that that&#8217;s a bad thing! Again, it&#8217;s a selection of some of my favorite early freeform tunes, with an emphasis of covering the key labels and producers with a balance between anthems and more obscure tunes. I was pretty excited to contribute this mix, and get some of the sounds heard by a wider audience, so I even went out and bought a bunch of tunes specifically for this mix from Discogs, including a few from hardcore legend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/seller\/BillyDanielBunter\">Billy Bunter<\/a>, such as Resin-8, the In My Mind remix, and Paradise.<\/p>\n<p>One of the exciting things about getting asked to participate in the Mix Marathon is having the opportunity to introduce myself as a dj to a new audience. For me, therefore, it was very important that the mix be a good representation of my style as a dj &#8211; that it encapsulate in an hour my approach to mixing and building a set. Which means that the tunes selected had to cover different facets of the genre, as well as showing a clear progression from start to finish, and the mixing had to be more dynamic than just a faded segue every six minutes or so, with lots of long, deep mixes with plenty of cuts along the way. This is not necessarily to everyone&#8217;s taste, I recognize, because from time to time I&#8217;ve had complaints that my mixes have too much chopping and changing, but mostly people seem to enjoy the style, and I know I do, so it&#8217;s what I&#8217;m sticking with. <\/p>\n<p>In any case, consider this the first salvo in a year of freeform from myself. First up will be Rampage Turbo 10 in either February or March, which will be an all-vinyl two hour Finrg special in honor of the <a href=\"http:\/\/anniversary.finrg.com\/\">Finrg crew&#8217;s 10th anniversary<\/a>; complete with pics and an essay about the two weeks I spent hanging out with them and getting drunk back in the summer of 2003. I&#8217;ve also been asked to contribute to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/freeformaniacs\">Freeformaniacs<\/a> show on the online station Krafty Radio, and my first mix will appear on the 5th of April. Later in the year I&#8217;ve been asked to play a classic freeform set in the main room at a London-based hardcore party, but the guy who asked me hasn&#8217;t been in touch for a while, so I dunno what the status is of that &#8230; hopefully that will still happen!<\/p>\n<p>It looks like it&#8217;s going to be an exciting year! And what a way to start it &#8230; enjoy the mix!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An hour of classic UK trancecore\/freeform, originally smashed together for DI.fm&#8217;s Old School Mix Marathon IV.
