Well, that was a crazy good start for the beginning of the Off Week 2017 in Barcelona! On Tuesday June 13th, This Side up offered to the most experienced clubbers an event worthy of the greatest. To guarantee an insane night, Kindcrime has booked two of the most respected British artists of the electronic sphere, pioneers of the Industrial sound made in UK: Slam & Perc. Throwing some of the best industrial techno, they took us on a trip… one that we will remember for a long time.
In the very intimate room of the club This Side Up, the underground atmosphere bewitched the crazy dancers and offered them a unique techno experience. The venue is actually the perfect place for techno lovers who appreciate simplicity. Those who only need a good sound system to enjoy their night were brilliantly served that night: nothing superfluous, no violent lighting, but simply a raw and powerful music.
During the first part of the night, Revolt, then Alessandro Nero, the founder of Kindcrime recordings, have clearly set the tone: dark and brutally good. While at 2am the room of the small nightclub began to fill up, the British duo Slam, co-founder of the label Soma Record, took control of the night. Even if their reputation is well established, Tuesday evening has reminded us why the duo remains at the forefront of the current underground movement. The two visionaries have delivered a set rich in thrills with a heavy, acidulated and very energetic sound. My god, it was good!
Around 4am, Perc performed behind the decks to end the night that savagely and perfectly began. Ali Wells aka Perc, played a wicked and delicious set : purring bass, hardcore kicks and high bpm, his sound was a perfect fusion between the “crème de la crème” of the current techno and a more “ancestral” electronic music selection. The producer captured the audience’s attention and closing the evening, he reminded us how much we were in love with techno and why this love is so vibrating.
