Rating: I started to become thoroughly acquainted with Terence Fixmer only in recent months after hearing his tracks in the International Deejay Gigolò Records compilations. On November 25 of this year, the aforementioned holds a live performance at the Kindergarten in Bologna along with Douglas McCarthy, the voice of Nitzer Ebb, a well-known industrial group. The opportunity was too tempting to miss, so the CryingToys (a DJ duo consisting of me and my partner Jam) set off for Bologna.
We arrive at the venue, and already in the warm-up, you can hear music at just the right level, between electro and industrial. Around 2 am, Fixmer and McCarthy take the stage, and McCarthy greets with a Nazi salute @_@. The MC begins to urge the crowd, which is already cheering for the two, and immediately Fixmer kicks off with "Join The Chant",
a great single by Nitzer Ebb, followed by various Terence hits mainly from the album "Between The Devil" produced in collaboration with Douglas, including "Freefall", "Splitter", the powerful "Destroy", "You Want It", just to name a few, and the closing entrusted to another production by Nitzer Ebb, "Control I'm Here".
The French DJ offers a wicked sound, very wicked, dirty, ready to hit you from behind with bone-crushing beats, samples from the hardest techno, synths from the darkest electro, and the relentless rhythm of industrial. All the songs offered by the duo, as my partner Jam commented, have such wicked synths (pardon the crude term) "that scratch your balls...".
The intros of the proposed songs are panic-inducing, with dark atmospheres, it seems like doomsday is about to happen any moment, only to explode into the tracks that the two protagonists have in store for us. The only "critique" I can make regarding the show is its duration, which was only a little over an hour, but apart from this, it was a great show with Fixmer producing wickedness behind his instruments and Douglas writhing on stage and urging the audience for the entire duration of the show without presenting the slightest drop in tension and desire to entertain.
Recommended for all lovers of industrial and dark-electro first and foremost, but also for those who want to have a really wicked night : )
