It seems to be that Freeform is making some kind of 'comeback' on Soundcloud, because I keep seeing more and more Freeform mixes, with old and new stuff, by well known names and new names. Only a few days ago did someone called Lone Raver upload a mix, with 15 Freeform records in it. You know I had to jump on it, right? I wouldn't say I'm a Freeform expert, but I am surely an enthusiast, and love to hear more mixes like this one. So I had to jump on it, and here's what I think of it.
Lone Raver, not a name I do recognise, but it's certainly one I will look out for. Maybe the reason why I've never encountered the name, because he's a lone raver. Like me, perhaps. But thankfully because of the Lone Raver's mix, I now know the name, and will see if there's more out there. As the mix not only contains Freeform records by some of the biggest names in the scene, but also a few of Lone Raver's own records!
As said, the name didn't ring a bell, but after hearing a few of Lone Raver's records, I am intrigued. What's behind this lone raver? Where did the lone raver come from? What's the deal, basically? Does anyone know?
OK, now back to the mix. It's a nice hour long, and it's got, according to the Lone Raver, 15 Freeform weapons! That's certainly a statement, and I'll be the judge of that!

Wow, a lot of 'new' stuff in here I've not heard before. And also the Lone Raver's own stuff, it's really a great mix. If you love Freeform and you want to hear something new and refreshing, give this Twisted Freeform mix a go.
I think it's linked to the Lone Raver's new EP, released on Brutal Kuts. That's an achievement itself, but to then use your own songs to compose this mix, is great. But are the tracks great?
Well, the first one annoys me. The original is crap. Radio overkill. So I would just skip that record, unless you like it. Certainly give it a go. But to me it all goes bonkers when 'Afterlight' is played, one of Lone Raver's records. What an insane record! Reminds me of Stamina Records and the music they released back in the day. A wicked Freeform anthem and a half, that's for sure.
But besides the first song in this mix, they are all solid as a rock. Nothing to complain about. Normally I would, but not today. Freeform always makes me slightly happier, and now I am happy, so there you go. A happy Dutchman is always good.
A wicked introduction into the world of the Lone Raver. Not alone anymore.
