HYBRID @ Academy!

ALLIANCE @ ACADEMY PRESENTS..... HYBRID!

UK duo Hybrid are making their way to Alliance @ Academy on Friday 15 October thanks to Fuzzy touring!

The creative core of Hybrid, Chris Healings and Mike Truman, are known as one of the most forward thinking and technically skilled acts in electronic dance music. 

Hybrid are touring on the back of their new collection Soundsystem 01, which is a ground-breaking double-disc compilation with a mixture of downtempo atmoshpheric beats to the more upfront, club-oriented tracks.

Soundsystem 01 also features some surprises for Hybrid fans. For one, while big room icons like Sasha, Quivver and Elite Force are represented, Soundsystem shifts the duo’s trademark progressive breaks sound into predominantly techier driven groove.

Healings describes the album as... ‘This mix isn’t so much banging as it is a refined journey through today’s clubbing experience. A little bit progressive, a little bit chunky and tech-housey, with some techno and break-beats in the middle. Basically, when we DJ we go everywhere! We’ll throw on whatever works to get people moving and create a real listening experience at the same time.’

Soundsystem’s DJ-mix also features a stripped down club mix of Hybrid’s latest single Formula of Fear, which reflects on how the band’s famous live show – hailed everywhere from festivals spanning Coachella to Glastonbury – has evolved a new creative direction. “It’s the first step to what our next artist album will sound like’, explains Truman.

Defying expectations has been what Hybrid is all about since the beginning: True to its name, the band functions as an umbrella under which Healings and Truman can fuse their different interests. Both Soundsystem’s mixes and Hybrids new material reflect just how diverse and vital the sphere of electronic music has become.

Catch them at Alliance @ Academy this Friday 15 October!
