It’s admirable when a DJ does not cage him or herself within one genre. The 2026 Fall Mixtape shows, once again, that Daniel is able to blend different styles of EDM beautifully. It adds strong contrast to a set, for example, when groovy techno transitions into melodic deep.
Also, fun to discover Robag Wruhme this way. Here’s the full version of the ‘mixtape filler’ Fumaxohn.
The official website mentions ‘town growth featuring dynamic districts (…)’. What do you think that means?
In TF2, we already had districts (industrial, commercial, residential), each with their own demand. When the town grew, the districts grew, but these ‘demand hubs’ mostly remained in the same corner of town. In other words, I think it was impossible for new industrial to spawn on the polar opposite of town, for example. Your station placement basically needed to follow the map generation and its fixed district locations.
Is it perhaps the other way around in TF3? Does ‘dynamic districts’ mean that district development, and maybe even district spawning, follows your station placement? Will a main train station built on the outskirts of a city slowly trigger new demand around that station, with downtown gradually moving toward it? Would a new settlement emerge when you’d add a small passenger train station in the middle of nowhere, on an existing line between two cities? That would be so cool.
Such a well-made, groovy tune! It’s on Lane 8’s Summer 2024 Mixtape. Should’ve been released by now, wouldn’t you say?
