Looking to try and find some more freeform records and have discovered that I really don't know too much about this side of hardcore, so I was wondering if anyone could give some recommendations :) (bonus if it's on vinyl)
few examples of what I've heard / liked:
K Complex - Adagio
Arkitech & Double Decka - Life Is A Construct
Mr-B vs K Complex - World Is Strange
Listening to Sharkey's mixes on Bonkers from around the same time periods would be a great start to see more names that might not pop up on NuEnergy (from Bonkers 9 and up)

No harm in them checking out what freeform sounds like now 😉. If the opening poster does like the freeform recommend jumping on this while there is still copies.

Late 99 to 2002 in my opinion was the best era for freeform
