nightlife

Wall-to-wall aggressive techno here, as Prism Hard's summer Thursdays schedule rumbles on. Star guest this week is DYEN, who was born in Rotterdam and appears to have imbued the spirit and sound of the Netherlands' No.1 rave city in its entirety. 

As he helpfully puts it himself: “Growing up I discovered these incredible kicks, vocals and super-catchy synth lines. I use them, but with more powerful kicks and drops.” Powerful is right – DYEN has the skill and confidence to bring old-school gabber and hardcore influences very audibly into his sound, which he sometimes describes as "neorave". A local doyen of the same type of hard-as-nails techno sound, Hani, takes on warm-up duties.
