THE MORPH HARDER PODCAST: EPISODE 16 AKI OCTOBER 2023 Featuring a guest mix from AKI (Released 06/10/2023) EPISODE 16 Today the Morph Harder Podcast goes international, all the way to the far east (from my humble English perspective anyway). This months guest slot is taken up by the wonderful and talented human that is Aki, all the way from Japan. Aki is based in Tokyo and i first came across his work through participation in the Remix Everything Video Game Edition charity album project, where his track Hideaki Shimizu - Old & Gebol (Aki's Hardcore Remix) was voted no.1 by the artists involved. It is killer and I featured it on last month's episode, so go check it out and along with how to buy the album and support the project. Myself and M-Rei are about to embark on an Asian adventure in October travelling to Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan in three weeks, so it only seemed fitting to represent music from that splendid and far away continent. This is going to be an episode of come crazy and varied beats from across the globe all in the hard music sphere, and most increasing in intensity... sounds good to me, although i would say that, you should judge for yourselves. So then, let's kick things into gear and dive right into episode 16!
