Hyas + Pura Pura
Paris | Miley Serious Presents
Nothing unites and divides a room faster than the opening strains of a UK garage classic at 145 BPM. Hyas + Pura Pura's set for Miley Serious in Paris is a beautifully chaotic love letter to the overlap between trance, hardcore, and bassline, designed to make genre purists weep into their Red Bulls. The vibe is a packed, sweat-drenched loft where the lasers cut through a haze of pure serotonin. Technically, it’s a masterclass in energy management, averaging 145 BPM and harmonically glued together by the pervasive use of key 12A, with 7A and 4B providing contrasting emotional shades.
The mix rides a wave of 68% low-end warmth, allowing the soaring melodies and frantic percussion to hit with maximum impact. Their style is aggressively playful, slamming together eras and BPMs with a punk attitude that somehow feels meticulously planned. The crate digging is exceptional: starting with Youngstar's seminal 'Pulse X' immediately sets a raucous, UKG tone. Their own 'SPEAKERS (VIP MIX)' is a distorted bass monster, while 'Knuckleheadz - House Rocca' delivers pure junglist frenzy.
The inclusion of Cygnus X's 'Superstring (Rank 1 Remix)' is a trance purist's dream deployed as a weapon, and Objekt's 'CLK Recovery' offers a moment of glitchy, techno-focused respite. The journey begins with the garage swing of 'Pulse X,' builds through their own ballistic productions and classic rave edits, and closes on the acidic squelch of 'The Acidpass' by Acid Sisters, leaving no brain cell unchallenged.
