Rob Tissera back on Brixton Academy main stage for HeatUK & The Gallery
Written by benz on 29-12-06 10:59 (3522 views)
(5 comments)
When HarderFaster last spoke with the buoyant superstar DJ Rob Tissera 15 months ago, Hurricane Katrina had just battered America, a new record low was recorded in the amount of sea ice in the Arctic, and Ken Livingstone had just decided that he would be controversially extending London’s congestion zone out to the West. With tornadoes in Kensal Rise, rapid polar ice cap melting and the congestion zone extension coming into play in February, it wouldn’t appear that things have really changed at all! Luckily Rob is as cheerful as ever in spite of all this depressing news — well wouldn’t you be if you were one of the most popular DJs in hard dance, ran one of the most successful new house music promotions in the country, and got to DJ at some of the world’s best parties week in week out?

Amber D gets fired up for the Tidy NYE Weekender!
Written by mostwantedkat on 22-12-06 16:47 (3428 views)

Cut the bullsh*t about Amber D being one of the best female DJs of her generation (and the one before). Amber D is one of the best DJs on the scene period, regardless of whether she’s entitled to wear a skirt or not. Every time someone mentions Amber D, they always make reference to the fact that she’s a girl. Like somehow it separates her from her male counterparts. I bet they wish it did. Without a doubt she gives them a run for their money and then some. From behind the decks she tears through the dancefloor with some of the filthiest, toughest, techiest and at points funkiest hard dance clubbers have been privileged to hear in ages. Innovative, daring, feisty and fearless, right from the start of her career she gave hard dance a much needed lashing, and heralded the start of a new era of DJ superstars.

Written by Tara on 22-12-06 01:08 (7862 views)

Time to come out of the fog my friends and into the bright lights. It’s the festive season and clubs are pulling out all stops to thank their supporters for their fun and frolics throughout the year. Both The Gathering and HarderFaster are doing just that this weekend, with all manner of naughtiness afoot at The Gathering Xmas Party tonight at The Fridge and the HF Vs The Residents Christmas Party on Saturday afternoon from noon til eight at Turnmills. One dj going harder than most and playing at both parties is Gathering resident Toxigen, who’s playing back to back with Never Enough’s Stu Cox in the Techno Tunnel at Turnmills, after doing a b2b with El Greko at the Fridge at The Gathering Xmas Party.

Goodgreef take on Frantic at NYE-NEC
Written by e99 on 21-12-06 21:06 (8538 views)
(1 comment)
Goodgreef is one of those rare success stories in hard dance. Founded in 2000 by then 18 year old Barry Almond, the brand now co-hosts the main arena at Creamfields, has hosted parties at Amnesia in Ibiza with Cream, and hosts regular gigs in Ireland, Holland, Ibiza and Russia as well as all over the North of England. In terms of hard music, it’s one of the most eclectic nights out there, representing the full spectrum of tough dirty music — as Barry points out. “Goodgreef has always been one of the only club nights in the UK that alternates between various genres of hard dance (hard trance, hard house, hardstyle) and trance and techno.” It’s this broad-minded approach that has seen them work with dance music giants like Cream and Slammin’ Vinyl, who have got them on-board at their NYE-NEC event, co-hosting a 2500 capacity arena with Frantic. and has seen everyone from Lady Dana to Marco Bailey play at their events.

Introducing the House Grotto at the HarderFaster Vs Residents Christmas Party
Written by Ilana B on 20-12-06 19:08 (7291 views)
(6 comments)
Deck The Halls, Jingle Bells, Tralalalala and all that... As we approach the season of over-eating, family arguments and getting yet more beige socks as presents, you can’t have helped but notice the build up to the HarderFaster Christmas party at Turnmills this Saturday 23 December. HarderFaster has picked the best of London’s up and coming talents along with resident DJs from promotions that have been rocking the city all year. With house music from funky to down right dirty we’ll keep you grooving all day long, but if you fancy a rest from the dancing join us in all manner of fun and games as we turn Turnmill’s Cinema Room into a House Grotto that would make Santa jealous. I’d like to introduce you to the house residents....

DnB don High Contrast on the blower for Moondance NYE
Written by benz on 20-12-06 17:18 (4190 views)
(3 comments)
Pendulum, Roni Size, Goldie, London Elektricity, Adam F... only a handful of drum 'n' bass artists have managed to achieve serious commercial success outside of the DnB world. The achievement is not so much the number of sales or money made from their classic albums - but rather the fact that all these artists are loved by people who don't particularly have much interest in DnB music. The awesome High Contrast, aka Welsh production wizz Lincoln J. Barrett, can count himself amongst this elite group, following the massive success and critical acclaim of his two albums 'True Colours' and 'High Society' and his hugely popular remixes of Kanye West's 'Golddigger' and The White Stripes' 'Blue Orchid'.

Going back to the Roots of psy trance with Metaphase and Zeus
Written by Tara on 15-12-06 14:57 (6726 views)
(8 comments)
With psychedelic trance having undergone something of a revival lately, a lot of clubs and promotions are jumping on the bandwagon. Fortunately for those with more than a passing interest in good music, there are some dedicated djs, producers and promotions doing their best to keep things real. Two of these talented individuals are Roots promoters and PointZero Records managers Fabry Motta aka Metaphase and Peter Welgemoed aka Zeus. After a year of awesome Roots parties where they’ve been responsible for introducing the likes of Israel’s Solar System to the UK and the launch of PointZero’s ‘Radioactivity Part 2’ compilation, these two are well deserving of their HF debut.

Knowwhere @ Heaven ... reviewed
Written by josie on 15-12-06 00:06 (6459 views)
(24 comments)
Clubland has been a bit reclusive of late — trance has been dominated as usual by The Gallery, and in particular Vaccine, but other big names have kept their heads below the parapet… notwithstanding the Wildchild débâcle. The promised Trancegeneration reunion was sadly not to be, but ElectronicSessions and others have been bubbling along under the surface, and fledgling event Ascendance is taking its first steps in Kingston. I’ve been even more cloistered… and God it feels good to go out! It’s been a while, and there was a manic gleam in the eye, therefore, when we rolled up at Knowwhere’s December shindig chez Heaven.

The world is your oyster, don’t go dancing
Written by Adam Symbiosis on 13-12-06 23:16 (4714 views)

“The world is your oyster” and “One day this will all be yours,” two things most of us heard from our parents. Now cast your minds back to those heady days of youth, what were you doing? Doing homework, tick. Chasing someone for a kiss, tick. Playing footie in the street, tick. These days kids are more likely to be checking out new tracks on MySpace, texting their mates, before heading off to the nearest available venue to have it to nu-rave.
