2HC is an experimental musical project conceived by Irene Di Rosa and Manuele Milani, born from a shared passion for pushing sonic boundaries. The duo ventures into sharp auditory territories, weaving industrial soundscapes with raw, hardcore elements. The project’s essence lies in its ability to blur the lines between structured rhythms and chaotic, freeform expressions. 2HC’s sound is deeply rooted in industrial music’s gritty, mechanical tones, but it doesn’t stop there. They dive headfirst into the heavy, aggressive energy of hardcore, creating an intense listening experience that is both immersive and challenging.
What sets 2HC apart is their embrace of deconstructed post-club aesthetics. They dismantle traditional club music tropes, stripping away predictable patterns and replacing them with a sense of fluidity and unpredictability. The usual constraints of BPM do not confine their mixes, instead, they flow organically, morphing and evolving in unexpected ways. This approach results in a sound that feels like a living, breathing entity—shapeless yet cohesive, chaotic yet deliberate. We hope you enjoy 2HC’s contribution to our GUESTMIX series reaching today its 97th episode!

We are a non-profit organization registered in December 2018, operating since late 2015 as a webzine and media website. In early 2017, we started our own event series focused on arts, experimental, and dancefloor-oriented music. We reject every invocation to “the Future” meant as the signifier for capitalistic “progress” and “innovation”, fully embracing the Present instead; we renounce any reckless and ultimately arbitrary division between “high” and “low”, respectable and not respectable, “mind” and “body”; we support and invite musicians, artists, and performers having diverse backgrounds and expressing themselves via variegated artistic practices.
