“THC’s sets are kinetic, propulsive in this way.”
their own biography
the whole biography
THC’s sets are kinetic, propulsive in this way. High-energy without a loss of soul, hard-hitting and still very playful and very gay. We are reminded that techno need not be a gloomy, rumbling march, and that house has a whole range of attitudes at the same time ruthless and smiling. She blazes, to put it simply. Having heated Berlin dancefloors and airwaves for a few years, THC is one of the founders and resident at La Noche. She has her own show HOT BOX on Rinse FM, and has released mixes via Crack Magazine, DJ Mag, Fact Mag and NTS. The last year has also seen her playing alongside her sibling DHC as the duo unit S-candalo. Regardless of format, there are always those THC-signatures: punch; euphoria; and streaks of vocal samples intoning the classic dancefloor theme of unity, be it political, sexual, spiritual or some sweaty mixture of it all.often with Disk Cartel, Byron Yeates, S-candalo, none of them here that night
“He mostly plays records and aims to always be musically one step ahead of the scene.”

the whole biography
He mostly plays records and aims to always be musically one step ahead of the scene. With his unmistakable sense for trends and quality, he keeps discovering genres or tracks from the 90s and early 2000s that have been forgotten or previously underestimated. The typical HiHat sound emerges from his creative, high-class mixing skills, and is clearly designed for the world's dance floors: captivating, energetic and in constant development. No matter whether fast or slow, 4/4 or breakbeat - his presence at the DJ booth and his diverse style draw in every crowd and create an unforgettable rave. You can feel in every moment: HiHat loves what he does and gives his best for the music, his audience and an outstanding atmosphere. Over time, many younger DJs have been inspired by HiHat's style and artistic courage, giving the scene a fresh, colourful look that has invigorated Cologne's club landscape.often with Pavelo Promillo, DJ Buona Sara, Krash Cora, none of them here that night
