Creative offspring of the musical fantasies of @Tushen_Rai and @CorneliusDoctor, Hard Fist brings together a passionate, supportive and activist party scene. Celebrating a globalized - but far from rootless - dancefloor where Turkish psychedelia, Lithuanian cold wave, Central African percussion and Indonesian polyphonic chants blend, Hard Fist crosses time and borders with a singular attachment to the folk music of trance, the kind that marks spiritual gatherings and festive rituals. Shaping the technological meeting of man and machine, the Hard Fist sound brings the experience as much on the dancefloor as in the calm of a Bedouin tent, always off the beaten track, with a free heart and clenched fists.

There are few as deeply immersed in the Amsterdam scene as Masalo. From running the Brighter Days party series with Kamma to co-establishing Doka Studio and curating pivotal compilations for Rush Hour records, he's been a driving force in the city's nightlife. Drawing on this wealth of experience and his sure-fire status as one of the most talented tastemakers around, Masalo has turned his hands to production with luminous results. Specialising in instant-dance floor igniters – righteous jams that blur the lines between Italo-disco, Afro-boogie, and proto-techno – catch him making a much anticipated LIVE debut at Dekmantel 2024.
