The techno pioneers bring the rave to Halifax’s Georgian Piece Hall.
Karl Hyde and Rick Smith’s 45-year musical odyssey has encompassed many genres, from Kraftwerk meets reggae to arty new wave and frilly-shirted funk with synthesisers , but it’s as pioneers of techno, progressive house and ambient they’ve made a much deeper impression on British music.
Behind a bank of gadgetry, Smith’s basslines and dancebeats intensify with the 2022 remix of Juanita and they rattle the ribcage in the pounding Tin There reworking of Pearl’s Girl. After a half-hour breather, while a lighting rig is hung from the stage gantry, they return. Hyde might have swapped his T-shirt for a black shirt, but the mood is anything but sombre.
