We’re going to the techno shire for episode 39 of Life In Arpeggio’s 15-Min Flash Mix, and the ringmaster of this particular expedition is GTHB, the stylised pronunciation of Goth Hobbit.
The DJ alias of Isabelle Ee who recently moved to Melbourne, GTHB has been popping up in the gig circuit in recent years, having her start at underground techno events like the now-defunct Horizon99 parties. Her craft eventually led her to play at other venues like Moonstone and Intermission Bar, and she also evolved to become a fixture at North East Social Club gigs.

For the 15-Min Flash Mix, GTHB showcases a wide range of sounds that swings back and forth in intensity like a pendulum. You’ll catch galloping club remixes of Tamil samples, industrial breakbeats with accelerated tempos, and harsh blistering techno that takes no prisoners. But just wait till you hear how she ends this mix; I’m not gonna spoil it for you, but let’s just say it’s a major wild card. Brace yourself for this barrage. Your journey now begins with GTHB.
