The Stranger

(RECHERCHÉ) For years, the most ferocious and thrilling hard techno came from Sweden. Producers like Cari Lekebusch, Adam Beyer, and Joel Mull laid down girthful grooves at breakneck tempos, embellished them with myriad hand percussion and bells, and made listeners feel as if they were in a war zone—or at some club run by Nietzschean Übermenschen. Mull has been delivering high-impact, uptempo beatdowns since 1996; this rare Seattle date should be a dazzler. (Des Amis, 1013 E Pike St, 322-0703. 9 pm, $10, 21+.) by Dave Segal
