Fresh Kicks 152: Moving Still

This is HMT’s Final Form. HMT going Goblin Mode. An HMT Swansong. HMT: The Last Dance*
 
🧯 So here we are: The Greatest Festival Set Of All Time™, recorded at Horst Arts & Music Festival 2022, during a volcanic Saturday night in the Rotunda stage.

🕊️ Yes, HMT Hard Cru — the Spinal Tap of speed / Two Shell's uncles / 2manydjs' spiritual successor / "reigning class clowns of the UK scene" (thanks Mixmag) — feigned a split, but no! It was all a ruse! What cheeky chappies.

 🧠 We wrapped our 2022 schedule in front of 2000 bouncing Beneluxians with 2hrs of pure unrefined HMT smoothbrain mixing and smartdumb selections. Declassified tracklist below. Peek at your own risk

🫨 Hated, debated, yet widely imitated — who needs enemies when you have blends like these?

HMT Hard Classics

HMT: The Last Dance

Recorded live at Waterworks Festival 2021, Gunnersbury Park, London on 25 September 2021

Pressure stage

Live at Waterworks Festival 2021 - London

The UK has a long history of talented bass manipulators, and Joe Cowton has proven himself worthy of being included amongst their ranks. Both solo as Kowton, and with Bristol luminaries Peverelist and Asusu as Livity Sound, he’s had a string of releases showcasing a talent for inventive rhythms. In many ways, the music he creates is techno, albeit a raw, stripped-down variant of the genre: influenced by the low-end-heavy mutations of the UK hardcore continuum. He’s contributed floor-smashing tunes to imprints like Idle Hands, All Caps, Naked Lunch, Hessle Audio and Keysound, but his collaborations with Peverelist have proved particularly potent, setting the stage for his own move toward a more focused sound palette. Now based in London, he’s prepared to make a full-length statement with his debut solo album, Utility, this April.

Originally broadcast on Red Bull Radio in 2016.

No Bad Days with Hollick & Gabriel Szatan - August 2019

Been going to Glasto since I was 11 years old so to finally play there, age 55, was a real nice thing. The rules for daytime sets at the notorious Maceo’s arrive in an email proclaiming “NO BANGERS” under pain of death, so I did just that: low, slow and mellow, with a handful of acts playing the main fest that weekend thrown in and one for Philippe Zdar too.

No Bad Days with Gabriel Szatan - Best of 2019

The booth for HMT Hard Cru's micro-rave propped open a lift with walls plastered in memes, and the DJs donned boiler suits reading "WITCH HOUSE" and "BLOG HOUSE." That was only the beginning of the fun. Just when you think this ride couldn't get any more wild, keep listening for the next ridiculous (maybe better: ridonkulous) edit or unthinkable mashup.
