As you might have seen from the last post, I got back from THC on Monday morning, and it was one of the best events I’ve been to for a while, with a great atmosphere and amazing decor once again. As well as the surprise of how good Lala’s selection was, there were particularly great sets from Stanfield, Lunch, Kanon and Betwixt & Between.
Betwixt played a DJ set, rather than his usual Live PAs at NRGetic Romancer, and went for Alek Szahala tracks only! Not only that, the bpm was at least 185, maybe even 190…
From memory, the tracks played were something along the lines of: Afternoon Owl, Darkstar, Vengeance, Unicorn Grove, Man Eaten, one or two that I’ve forgotten, before finishing with Human Flesh Engine (!). All tunes that I haven’t heard live for a long long time, and the mixing was very good too, especially considering the manic bpm.
THC is becoming pretty essential these days, and I imagine the next event’s sometime around March. I’ll definitely be heading to that one too.
Oh daaaamn, with Betwixt doing a set like that THC really must live up to the hardcore part of its name.
