Logic Hardcore: School Is Out!
The Rainbow Rooms, Gorseinon, Swansea
Sat 9 June
Calling all Hippo Club lovers and Escape megafans! Dust those glowsticks off and dig those mixtapes out, as Logic Hardcore: School Is Out is coming west to Gorseinon this month. Brought to you by the organisers of Swansea’s Logic Festival, the night promises the best of old-skool hardcore, with a leap into nu-skool too.
Featuring sets from some serious old-skool titans – including Dougal [pictured], best known for compilation series Bonkers, and the scratchmaster DJ Sy – this promises to be a night of euphoric hardcore, and one not for the faint-hearted. Representing the nu-skool sound is Ben Manic (of the Tryed N Tested label), Studioslave and Travis, fusing the older, 1990s-vintage sound of the hardcore movement to with their own newer, updated style.
MCs including Wotsee and Energy will be spitting rhymes and keeping spirits high, something which might be needed given the marathon 12-hour duration of this event. New talent is also being introduced, with winners of the local MCing competition to be featured on the night. Additionally, school uniform dress is greatly encouraged for the evening, so if you’re a cheerleader, geek or teacher, get your tickets now. If hardcore is your thing, this is not to be missed.
