Hard Attack returns to gabber and early-hardcore roots at Melkweg

Hard Attack will devote the night to gabber, early hardcore and 1990s rave culture with a broad bill led by Hellcreator, Rhose, Paola Nyx, Emma, Gysèle and Akemio Grey. The Amsterdam collective was created around a clear aim: to treat hardcore as active club and community culture rather than retro iconography. The programme combines DJs with performative and scene elements, including Mysterious Creator, Mooshi Angels and Sweetspoons Jewellery. OZ provides a closed, physical environment for distorted kicks, breakbeats and high speeds while keeping the connection visible between rave archive and a current generation actively reclaiming those codes.
