CRUD0 PRESENTS: THC 15 YEARS WITH Lars Huismann & LEGA

THC 15 YEARS A STORY WRITTEN ON THE DANCEFLOOR.

BOGOTÁ’S THC COLLECTIVE TAKES OVER THE CRUD0 DANCE FLOOR TO MARK 15 YEARS OF HISTORY, MUSIC AND RESISTANCE. FOUNDED IN BOGOTÁ IN 2011 BY TWO FRIENDS WITH A SHARED PASSION FOR ELECTRONIC MUSIC, THC HAS SPENT FIFTEEN YEARS HELPING SHAPE COLOMBIA’S TECHNO CULTURE THROUGH INDEPENDENT EVENTS, ARTIST DEVELOPMENT AND A CONTINUOUS EXPLORATION OF SOUND.

FOR YEARS, CRUD0 HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO BRINGING COLOMBIAN TECHNO TO NEW YORK, WITH ITS HISTORY, ARTISTS AND CULTURAL ROOTS REMAINING CENTRAL TO OUR IDENTITY. THIS ANNIVERSARY BRINGS TOGETHER TWO COLLECTIVES CONNECTED BY A SHARED UNDERSTANDING OF TECHNO, INDEPENDENT CULTURE AND AN UNCOMPROMISING COMMITMENT TO THE DANCE FLOOR.

SELECTORS

LARS HUISMANN
MAKES HIS CRUD0 DEBUT WITH AN INTENSE FIVE-HOUR SET, BRINGING HIS DISTINCT APPROACH TO RHYTHM, PERCUSSION AND RAW TECHNO TO OUR DANCE FLOOR.

BERLIN-BASED PRODUCER AND DJ LARS HUISMANN BEGAN HIS TECHNO JOURNEY IN 2011. A TRAINED DRUMMER SINCE THE AGE OF ELEVEN, HIS BACKGROUND IN JAZZ, FUSION AND PROGRESSIVE METAL CONTINUES TO SHAPE HIS PERCUSSIVE APPROACH TO ELECTRONIC MUSIC. IN 2015, HE FOUNDED HIS LABEL LHR, MARKING ITS LAUNCH WITH A RELEASE PARTY AT BERLIN’S TRESOR. HIS RELEASES ON SOMA, INCLUDING INFINITE DIMENSION (2019) AND EMBRACED BY SHADOWS (2020), ESTABLISHED HIS DISTINCT APPROACH TO HARD-HITTING, FUTURISTIC TECHNO.

HIS THREE-PART SOUNDS FROM THE PAST SERIES ON MUTUAL RYTM (2022–2023) REVISITED EARLY-2000S TECHNO THROUGH TAPE RECORDING, HARDWARE FILTERING AND SAMPLING, FOLLOWED BY THE DARKER, MORE INTENSE CATHARSIS (2024). WITH MECHANIZED (MONNOM BLACK, 2024), HIS DEBUT ON DAX J’S LABEL, HUISMANN EXPLORED THE DEEPER ROOTS OF DUB AND TRIBAL TECHNO, RECONNECTING WITH THE PERCUSSIVE FOUNDATIONS OF HIS MUSICAL BACKGROUND. TRACKS SUCH AS DOMINION AND ORBITAL REFLECT HIS ABILITY TO REWORK CLASSIC TECHNO STRUCTURES INTO SOMETHING DISTINCTLY HIS OWN, WITH A SECOND MONNOM BLACK EP FOLLOWING IN SUMMER 2026.

LEGA
RETURNS TO THE CRUD0 DANCE FLOOR FOR THE THIRD TIME IN NEW YORK, A LONGTIME FRIEND OF THE HOUSE AND A KEY FIGURE IN COLOMBIA’S ELECTRONIC MUSIC CULTURE.

KNOWN ALSO AS NO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, THE BOGOTÁ-BASED DJ, PRODUCER AND PROMOTER HAS SPENT FIFTEEN YEARS SHAPING THE COUNTRY’S INDEPENDENT ELECTRONIC MUSIC SCENE, BRINGING MORE THAN 410 INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS TO COLOMBIA. AS FOUNDER OF THE HINDIE CORPORATION (THC), RAW QUARTER AND AMB AGENCY, HIS WORK EXTENDS ACROSS EVENT PRODUCTION, ARTIST BOOKING AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN COLOMBIA AND THE GLOBAL TECHNO COMMUNITY.

HIS DISCOGRAPHY INCLUDES TWO ALBUMS ON DIFFUSE REALITY AND RELEASES ACROSS TRUNCATE, VOXNOX, PLANET X, MOTECH, ILLEGAL ALIEN AND NEW YORK HAUNTED, AMONG OTHERS. MORE RECENT WORK INCLUDES A 2025 EP ON PLANET X AND COMPILATION APPEARANCES ON CODEIN AND ANØAH, REFLECTING AN ONGOING COMMITMENT TO RAW, EXPERIMENTAL AND FUNCTIONAL TECHNO.

BVS9
RETURNS TO THE CRUD0 DANCE FLOOR, TAKING CHARGE OF THE OPENING HOURS FOR THC’S 15TH ANNIVERSARY. A LONGTIME FRIEND OF THE HOUSE, THE COLOMBIAN-BORN, NEW YORK-BASED DJ AND PRODUCER HAS DEVELOPED A DISTINCT APPROACH TO SELECTION, ROOTED IN HYPNOTIC REPETITION, RESTRAINT AND A PRECISE SENSE OF TIMING.

HIS MUSICAL LANGUAGE MOVES BETWEEN AMBIENT TEXTURES, DEEP RHYTHMIC STRUCTURES AND SUSTAINED TENSION, ALLOWING EACH ELEMENT TO UNFOLD WITH PATIENCE AND PURPOSE. RATHER THAN RELYING ON IMMEDIATE IMPACT, BSV9 BUILDS THROUGH SUBTLE TRANSITIONS AND GRADUAL SHIFTS IN INTENSITY, EXPLORING THE SPACE BETWEEN ATMOSPHERE AND FUNCTIONAL TECHNO. HIS STRIPPED-BACK, CALCULATED APPROACH TO MIXING MAKES HIM A NATURAL CHOICE TO SET THE FOUNDATION FOR A LONG MORNING ON THE CRUD0 DANCE FLOOR.
