Hangars Liquides

Hangars Liquides is without question the pioneering concept of experimental electronic music our ears have been exposed to for over a decade!

Laurent Mialon aka La Peste's vision and now legacy has left a monumental aural trademark on observers all over the galaxy.

From the early harsh industrial hardcore/speedcore of an 18 year old from Brittany called EPC on Hangars Liquides 001 to La Peste's own works of genius! the liquid, mesmerising, Psychedelic hardcore/speedcore/ambient masterpeiece's on HL003, HL005(pam anderson on acid) and HL 013 still remain along with the works of Poka Michelson the most incredible mindbending psychedelic experimental hardcore/speedcore in my collection.

Highly experimental concept records by Attila HL014, the compilation on HL09 from various artists kept with the savage and unpredictable nature of a label with no barriers, no threshold, no mercy , only sheer passion and relentless ambition to not only showcase but shape forever the course music for our generation.

Then there was Hangars Liquides 010 by Fist of Fury named " The Exorcist EP". Arguably the best record Fist of fury (Eric Lauvaud of "Art is Anal") has ever written along with S.O.D.O.M 005.
This is an uncompromising ep of relentless kick drum brutality effortlessly blended with sickening backwashed samples, cries and screams from the cinematic spine chiller "the Exorcist".
A rare collectors item like most HL records.

Outings by Senical aka Lasse Steen, Cytochrome & Korrigan aka Helius Zhamiq further penetrated the psyche of followers and diversed the spectrum of HL releases.

Many People now know I:GOR from his latest Drum & bass crossover and dancefloor hardcore but when he made records for Hangars Liquides they were brutal and disturbing speedcore! its a shame he seems to have dis-owned what put him where he is now.

One of the most iconic Hangars Liquides records came in the form of " Malaria" ! a devastatingly haunting & sickening collaboration courtesy of Fist of Fury & Helius Zhamiq. Stand out track "Deviance Mentale" an all time fave of mine and described beautifully by Fishead on the release page along with his other descriptions of hangars liquides records as eloquent as they are spot on!

For me the record that took Hangars Liquides into Hyperspace was the creation of a good friend of mine, none other than the immense and astounding Christophe Neurocore! Hangars Liquides 018 is a record of cybercore genius and complexity bordering on the paradoxical stratosphere of beautiful & ferocious! Crystal clear futuristical speedcore that leaves all others behind!

La Peste's Flashcore concept has became more substantial in the last few releases of the label graced by La Peste and Atomhead. HL 24&26 by La Peste are the ambient soundtrack to life outside our own galaxy where Atomheads HL028 is an enigmatic thunderous tyrade of Mighty Hangars Liquides wonderfulnes.

Prob the only thing missing form this label were the Lyserging master works and acuteness of the Toulouse sisters Poka & Stella Michelson, the later " MOUSE" scheduled release on HL004 was never released.

In conclusion Hangars Liquides is Flair and originality, its captivating and perplexing, it is an innovator and an explorer of electronic psychedelic industrial soundscapes!

HANGARS LIQUIDES FOR LIFE !

Darryn Phonofrantic reporting for duty sir! :)

Hangars Liquides is a legendary label. Over the last 10 years it has spawned some of the most abstract hardcore & speedcore records ever know to man. Some brilliant producers have appeared on this label over the years, from the sheer brutality of XKV8 to the brillance of Neurocore to the craziness of La Peste's soundscapes, its all here.

Always a label that pushed things forward, there is a lot of ground covered on Hangars, from straight forward 4/4 speedcore to breakcore to abstract sounds and loads (and loads) of weirdness.

One of the best labels around if you're a hardcore fan who loves to test their mind and ears.
