Next up on the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: Hitam

Championing a dancefloor sound as ebulliently driving as it invites us to dip our toes into further hazy sonic grounds, Dutch producer, Rhiza Semar founder and Eerste Communie resident Hitam swings the pendulum betwixt racing 909-fuelled horsepower and more subdued, fearsome climates.

By combining organic and artificial sound sources with ancient and modern approaches to patterns and structure, he sees his productions as a means to reconnect the past and present; guiding the listener through aural fields that are both familiar and unknown.
As ever clinical in his approach and deadly in his execution, Hitam has us tripping out to relentless tech rage and hypnotic sound design laced into one smoldering hodgepodge of whelming, non-stop gusty sonics.

The dynamic and ethereal characteristics of his sound invoke a state of contemplation and receptiveness, by means of which one is invited to form a deeper connection within and between. Mind and body; self and other.

Enjoy! :)

Fast Forward Audio Series #102 - Hitam

“Let's Fucking Go!”

Alex Cordova is a force to be reckoned with in the underground music scene, known for his electrifying catchphrase that ignites the crowd's energy every time he steps up to perform. Hailing from Jackson, Wyoming, with roots in Tlaxcala, Mexico, Alex's journey started in the vibrant atmosphere of small house parties and bars. From those incredible beginnings, he gained prominence at the pre-party for the EDM festival "Holi Fest" in Tlaxcala, Mexico. As he returned to his hometown, he meticulously refined his signature sound, transitioning through Trance, Hardstyle, and House, ultimately embracing Techno and Hard Dance Music—his performances radiate rhythmic intensity that captivates every audience.

Now, Alex is boldly leaving Wyoming for Utah, where he's been making waves in the underground scene, performing at local event holders like “eta.45, V2 presents, Blaq Void, Intricacy, Electronic Continuum, and much more” in Salt Lake City. His standout performances, including a notable gig for the underground collective "eta.45," demonstrate his dedication to reviving rave culture. Recently, he delivered an unforgettable set opening for KLOUD at the iconic Masonic Temple, propelling his career to new heights. Since then, he has been instrumental in nurturing fresh talent within the scene, directly supporting luminaries like A*S*Y*S and Greg Downey, and recently taking the stage alongside DØMINA through Blaq Void.

Alex isn't just participating; he’s leading the charge in the local underground community. He's passionate about introducing niche sounds that deserve more attention and is making waves with his new direction towards "Techno in its purest form" or "Cinematic Techno." His powerful music resonates deeply within the community, solidifying his status in the Utah music landscape. The question is not about what more he can do; it’s about how high he can reach.

This is Alex Cordova, and I’m here to unleash Cinematic Techno and Techno in its purest form, creating a scene where we all belong!

Fast Forward Productions was formed in December 2015 as a new take on DIY rave culture. All events are built from the ground up, focusing on our local scene and collaborating with like-minded crews and concepts from abroad.
With a focus on social engagement, and by using activists from the local community to help make the events come to life, Fast Forward actively focuses on creating safer spaces at the venues we use. Sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia are not tolerated.
