We know, we know—halloween is for kids, so sorry in advance for the tenuously spooky links you're about to read. As children, some of us weren't allowed to watch scary films or partake in trick or treating, so the whole "let's celebrate halloween!" thing only came to us in later life, and by then it was too late to be actively entertained by the thought of spending a night in a pub wearing a Scream mask or heading to a club as a sexy skeleton or a sexy cat or a sexy chiropodist or whatever.Two guys who probably understand the appeal of it more than we do are Irish production duo Torso. Comprised of George Earnest and Sean McTiernan—who interviewed Alan Howarth for us this week and is currently hosting a horror movie themed podcast—they seem like guys who clearly know the ins and outs of abject fear. That mastery of the macabre is evident in this taut and terrifying guest mix they've put together for us ahead of the weekend's festivities.We'd recommend turning the lights off and the headphones up and spending a spooked-out hour in the company of this relentless run through acid-soaked italo, bludgeoning house, and the kind of techno that sounds like the world ending.Torso's Halloween Guest Mix for THUMP by Thump on MixcloudAnd once you've recovered from that all out assault, we've got another treat for you. As a seasonal gift, Torso have also made their remix of Tessier-Ashpool Recordings artist Mutual Friend's track "Evolve" available for download, which you can stream and then download below:Follow Torso on Soundcloud and follow both the Torso boys on Twitter here and here
