Max HeyraudLocal Selection 316 is soundtracked by Dublin duo Heftie, who share a one-hour journey through high-octane, warped-out hypnotism and heavy low-end pressure.
Heftie are an underground electronic music duo from Dublin, crafting a raw, euphoric sound driven by heavy bass, hard-hitting drums and restless energy. Drawing from garage, house, electro and dubstep, their productions sit within a buckled UK hardcore continuum, constantly shifting between influences while looking firmly towards the future.
For this mix, the duo draw inspiration from recent time spent in Barcelona and the UK, weaving together dark textures, heavyweight bass and Latin-infused rhythms. Rather than following a fixed formula, the set evolves organically, building a dynamic atmosphere from the pair’s wide-ranging influences. There’s a physicality to their approach.
Low frequencies sit at the centre, while tough drums, warped textures and euphoric melodies create a sense of constant forward momentum. The result is a juxtaposed, unpredictable journey that moves between pressure, euphoria and hypnotism, one that asks you to leave your expectations at the door.
