CTM 2027: Initialising

This night explores different facets of hardcore and trance through various perspectives. Riding a line between mainstream and the underground, unspooling in the grey zone between functionality and creativity, both genres are subject to mutation and revisioning.
Performing their new album »Syysma« with a new live show, NZIRIA takes Neapolitan neomelodic songs into the pressure chamber of hardcore, the rich melodrama of Southern Italian pop music fragmented through punishing beats. Naples is evoked as an audible fault line where hard rhythms grind beneath intimate melodies, the rough textures and sudden ruptures giving the unstable sensation of a perpetually shifting city. French producer and Casual Gabberz co-founder Evil Grimace dubs his particular strain of audio aggression »frapcore«, a Frankensteined rave genre wherein French rap samples and vocals ground into gabber and hardcore, propagating fast and filthy body-crunchers.
Berlin-born A.N.I. drives hard techno in a high-speed collision with acid, gabber, hard trance and hardstyle, thriving on relentless rhythmic pressure and sharply cut transitions. Going B2B in a deep exploration of hardcore and trance within the Brazilian and Latinx continuum, Debit is a pro at yanking regional musical lineages taffylike into strange new shapes. Kontronatura has hyper-refined his own flavours of percussive power and club reconfigurations—marvel as they collide and metamorphose.
Further artists TBA.
