Matt Hart at Spit It Out
Since the early days of Other Voices, one of the first artists I connected with was Matt Hart. That’s why seeing his name on the Spit It Out lineup — and knowing the collective was bringing him to Lennon’s — was genuinely personal. Some paths cross at the very beginning and, over time, return at exactly the right moment. This was one of those nights.
The evening started with a familiar presence who defines Spit It Out: DJ Nocte. Close crowd, familiar faces, people ready to dance from the first minute and zero posturing.
When Matt Hart took over the booth, he delivered a hard-hitting session. Industrial, EBM and hard electronics, tightly connected, without losing focus or slipping into autopilot.
Then came Amy’s turn — the driving force and steady hand behind the night. This time she slightly shifted the direction, moving toward a more guitar-driven territory without losing identity. A measured change that widened the sonic spectrum of the dancefloor. The guitars entered naturally, reinforcing the alternative character of the party and connecting with the part of the audience that appreciates that balance.
The classics that form part of Spit It Out’s DNA were not missing. Apoptygma Berzerk made an appearance, as did the well-executed anthem approach of VNV Nation, with “Control” standing out as one of those moments that has already become tradition. It’s not just about playing recognizable tracks — it’s about knowing when and how to do it. The dancefloor was fully under control, without falling into easy nostalgia or breaking the session’s flow.
Then came Matt Hart’s live set. His performance delivered the post-apocalyptic industrial sound he has been refining for years: solid, forceful rhythms that kept the energy high and the dancefloor moving.
For Other Voices, the night carried extra meaning. Seeing Matt Hart in this context, years after that first connection, and within a party like Spit It Out, closed a small circle. Credit also goes to Amy, who continues to back projects with personality, balancing risk and experience.
