A: Live edge, live wire

Q: Describe the story behind Razrbark's Specific Heat.

A: Specific Heat measures how resistant (or not) substances are to temperature changes, specifically how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of something by one degree. This concept from chemistry has always stuck with me and is something I thought of after listening to the finished product of this mix/let's be real I just think it sounds cool.

When I first started prepping for this mix, I went in a very different direction and had a rough draft, but it felt tedious, trying to force ideas and tracks in a way that required a lot of energy with little output. Sometimes, things pour out of you and sometimes, they don't. 

One day, a very exciting booking came through (spoiler alert: it was Honcho @ Hot Mass). With the adrenaline rush of the booking, I immediately started mixing tracks from the extremes of my USB, and everything flowed really easily. I decided to hit record, and it came together in a way that felt much more organic. I also unearthed many tracks I had forgotten about that were collecting cobwebs on my stick but that I always loved.

Anyway, all this to say, just like in chemistry, sometimes you need the right conditions for a reaction to truly take off~~~

Q: What is your ideal dancefloor (fictional or real).

The Bronze.

Q: When is the last track that made subs glow for you?

A: Two specific tracks come to mind:
https://snappedankles.bandcamp.com/track/come-play-the-trees-crooked-ankles-2
To me this is the perfect track. I played it at Hot Mass in Pittsburgh sometime after 6am a bit slower than this. I love how it has so much raw power behind it. Big chug NRG. I've always loved this song from the same band. It has a very Iggy Pop/Plastic Bertrand sensibility to it, but I've never been able to play it on a dance floor, so I was happy when I found this edit that is a bit more dance floor friendly and still has the rock/dance vibe that I feel is a hallmark of my sound.

Another track:
I just played this song towards the end of my set at Afterlife in Seattle this weekend. The bass was so intense my drink literally bounced across a table and fell to the floor. I'd say the subs were glowing hard.

Q: What track/artist was a musical game-changer for you?

A: Föllakzoid. It's psych rock, it's techno, it's everything. Each time I've seen them play, it's world-building and expansive. 

Q: If this mix was a book or a movie what would it be? 

A: It would be in Walk Hard Part 2, when Dewey goes through his drum and bass era.

Boomkat w/ Tamus - Radio Alhara [29.07.2025]

HIDD3N HAND’s album is a striking debut that finds its power in duality. Rooted in the rhythmic DNA of UK Garage while drenched in the expansive atmospheres of Wave, the album feels both grounded and dreamlike, equally suited for the dancefloor and late-night headphone sessions.

The UKG influence shows up in the shuffling percussion, swung snares, and basslines that give the record its momentum. But rather than relying on nostalgia, HIDD3N HAND stretches those grooves into widescreen landscapes — pads hang heavy in reverb, ghostly vocal fragments drift in and out, melodies bend and fracture. The result is a sound that pushes Garage forward rather than looking back.

Two tracks highlight this fusion best. “Middle of Night” is a masterclass in groove, its crisp percussion and vaporous synths creating the sensation of moving through a city after dark, carried by rhythm but suspended in atmosphere. By contrast, “Call Me” is the album’s emotional centerpiece — stripped back, spacious, and anchored by a haunting vocal motif that feels more like a memory than a lyric. Where one track moves your body, the other stills you, leaving you in reflection.

Across the tracklist, HIDD3N HAND shows remarkable restraint and vision. It’s not maximalist club music, nor is it purely ambient introspection. Instead, it thrives in the liminal space between. In doing so, HIDD3N HAND delivers a record that honors the past, resonates in the present, and gestures toward the future of electronic music.
