Planet Mu's The Teknoist was brought over to these shores last Thursday to a relatively frustrated Ice Bar crowd that was anxiously wondering wheter or not it would be subjected to the same closing time as the rest of the city. Turned out we were. The Teknoist delivered a blistering fast paced straight ahead gabber hardcore that sailed across the heads of a tightly packed crowd that punched the air before having to leap out of the way for every punter that wanted to go to the toilets - The Ice Bar having its own quirks is by no means an ideal venue. His music really is a traditionalist straight ahead asortment of gabber kicks, with ragga vocal tingles very low in the mix on one occasion, and some of his own tunes making the most of 10 second long Prodigy samples to get the crowd going before pumping them up with the snares again.

Also: You can get a relatively good taste of exactly the sort of stuff the Teknoist mix delivered in this download over here. Kaboogie are also going to be regularly hosting a club in the Ice Bar every second thursday, being the heads that brought over Aaron Spectre not so long ago, it'll be well worth keeping on eye on their line ups.
