And if you read magazines like FACT, why wouldn’t you be aware? Everything penned about the teenage techno producer refers to his age, and with good reason. Techno – particularly techno of the noisey, industrial variety that Happa leans towards – is so often the pursuit of the old, the bald, and the boring, that it’s great to have some young blood breathing some life into it. Sure, Happa wasn’t the first: Blawan’s DNA is splattered all over his records, for one, but his tracks have a youthful enthusiasm to them that’s impossible to resist – a ‘yes, this is fucking it!‘ grin and clenched fists like the first time you realised that a distorted kick drum could be life-changing. And when you pair that gleeful, wide-eyed quality with chops that are well beyond Happa’s, yes, young years, you get something really special – no wonder the likes of Four Tet and R&S tapped him for remixes at 15. Happa’s FACT mix – recorded ahead of his appearance at April’s Blueprint party, presented by The Hydra with sets also coming from Shed, Trade (Blawan & Surgeon), James Ruskin – starts with Godspeed You! Black Emperor before beating you into sheer sensory nirvana with tracks from J Tijn, Blacknecks and more. Then, after a break for Sonic Youth and Cromagnon – our kind of breather – it’s time for round two, with a brace of unreleased Happa productions. Still bumping Perc’s FACT mix from earlier this year? It’s met its match.
