By Hard Thursday: A weekly space for hard scene
long we had the intention to highlight a weekly meeting that has become a place where new friendships are born and where they all share two things in common; beer and hard dance music.
Thursday Hard is the name of the event which is held every Thursday in Santiago de Chile at the local Bellavista space located in the epicenter of the bars of the capital and stands out as a very large place but above all, give space to Thursdays is filled only with fans of this music and high bpms sharing a good conversation with old and new friends over a beer.
Hard on Thursday in recent years there have been about 850 acts, and there have been about 280 djs.
We spoke to Jose Reyes, better known as Piscola which was the founder of these meetings that already has many years of stories, anecdotes and even visits from various international artists. We asked about the beginnings and how slowly this place became known Thursday Hard.
It all started in 2013, with 15 to 20 people
So Joseph tells us who notes that gathered in bars until they found Bellavista Bellavista space and its large terrace, decided to move to that speaker accompanied by a small bar and good beer.
In 2014 he was given the opportunity to make official meetings on Wednesday and then called Juntas Hard where local djs had the opportunity to play live and no longer a small speaker as in the beginning. In 2015, it became popular, the only bar that had hard during Wednesday evenings reaching an audience between 80 and 100 people. That same year, was when I was changed the day to Thursday in order to shorten the week and give comfort to workers and students attend.
The record is about 600 attendees and was in summer!
Between 2015 and 2018, he has comvocado hundreds of fans on all summer even to 600 attendees and seeing the great call, local became increasingly authorizing more and more so the space for raw djs, hardcore expanded, local authorities to have a place to showcase their talent live frenchcore.
In regions they are replicating the same initiative!
This place has become the official headquarters of the harder every Thursday and even more prior to an event because it is very common that you can find international artists has already been with Deetox, Radical Redemption, Chain Reaction, synthax, Warface , The Pitcher, Thera, Hellsystem and Kevin Kaos. Even so fans all over the world have come to this headquarters hard.
"According to this, the idea is to continue growing, generate more moments to remember and more special Thursdays that will be remembered forever around Hard Dance Music week by week." Jose Reyes-Piscola
