I'll be adding a freeform or NRG track here each week that I think is a good unmixed, stand-alone listen.
First one is Mother, an unreleased track by The Machinist & Rika. Beautiful, gritty, late 2000s style here:
@Sherkel Ah this is great, hadn't heard it before either! A strong kick is usually enough to keep the older Kretrix stuff playable even with a wonky mixdown.
@thankyouforthehorse "Mother", or in other words, "kreatrix"...clever!
Scrolling through that channel I found another I hadn't heard before, Martyrdom:

Damn, that is an intense ride, and an instant favorite. That rougher percussion and bass bring out the emotion in his style perfectly. Mixdown is weird in places, but done right I know it could get a crowd bleeding from their necks!
