Energy Field Vol.2 (2021)


After a nice day out with the wife, I'm back. The computer is switched on immediately because I don't want to miss any new music. The social media aspect doesn't bother me, but music more. I need music to keep me going through each day, and today I've got yet another mix by DJ M@rt!n-J. And I think he does these things on purpose: the amount of mixes he makes and uploads could just keep me busy non stop. I don't even need to review any other mixes, just his. But I'm glad that he does continue providing us with new mixes, life would be a tad boring if we would only hear once from him. And it keeps us constantly on the edge to find new music. And today's mix contains a lot of music from one of the fastest growing Freeform labels, Energy Field, run by DJ Cyrax.

So M@rt!n-J released the second mix, a follow up to his first mix, and if you haven't checked it out yet, make sure you click here, which takes you to the first Energy Field appreciation mix, which you will surely love and like too. But now the focus is on the second mix. And what can we gather from the information written on Soundcloud? Well, it's a label run by Cyrax, run from Manchester, UK, and it's a Youtube channel and record label. And they release fucking awesome Freeform music. A few years ago it was Stamina Records who were at the top, and now they have to share the number 1 spot with Energy Field.


The amount of awesome tracks is ridiculous. All from well established artists such as Cyrax, Transcend, Substanced, Darwin, and more. And they've been very active in pushing Freeform music into the wide world. And the quality is top notch. Cyrax certainly knows what to release. No compromises are made. Only the finest Freeform music. Hence why M@rt!n-J made this appreciation mix. A well deserved tribute mix for this awesome Freeform label.


So which records were selected by M@rt!n-J for this second instalment? Here's the list:


  1. Substanced - Retribution

  2. Cyrax - You Know Where To Find Me

  3. Transcend & Cyrax - Cortisol

  4. Darwin - Circle Of Time

  5. Transcend - Mystic

  6. Transcend - Dreamlab

  7. Transcend & Cyrax - Insight (Matt OD Remix)

  8. Transcend & Cyrax - Double Drop

  9. Darwin - Dark World

  10. Transcend & Cyrax - Breathe Again

  11. JayB - Spectrum (Matt OD Remix)


11 beautiful tracks, carefully selected by M@rt!n-J. And mixed together beautifully. It contains tracks so hot, you need oven gloves to handle the heat. They are seriously impressive anthems, and they make me happy. Freeform is still a hot topic, and the music coming out of the scene still impresses me. And it certainly doesn't sound boring, or ruined by influences from other styles.


Credit where credit is due: Cyrax's label releases wicked anthems. And hopefully one day we will be able to buy an album containing all these anthems. I am an album lover, and really think that Energy Field deserves so much more. More credit, and a bigger stage.


Obviously the big names in this tracklist do know how to make music, but even Matt OD, who I have never heard of, brings good Freeform music to the table. Really impressed with each record, and I'm not lying. I always tell the truth, even when I'm lying (which I am not right now).


A fantastic mix. Another epic mix by M@rt!n-J. No negative comments, only positives. The tracks are good, the mix is good, and it's also a free download. So, what else is there to say?


Best record is 'Mystic' by Transcend. He's just a boss!
