Written by Getinpublicity on 18-10-06 20:19 (5924 views)
(26 comments)
Kate Hammond and Kelly Dayus-Cook are no strangers to HarderFaster, and certainly not to the dance music fraternity on the whole. Most of us will know Kate from Vicious Circle and Kelly of course from tidy. Well, as with anything in life, certain vocations have their life spans and both Kate and Kelly have reached a point in their careers where it’s all change please, all change.

The Elevate interview — Phil York & Kevin Energy get ready to take you higher
Written by Allan@Nu Energy on 18-10-06 20:09 (6671 views)

Anyone else reckon hard dance is going through a bit of a purple patch lately? Is anyone else finding themselves stood grin plastered, rushing like a demon, in the middle of a big shiny dancefloor thinking, “this is what’s it’s all about?” Finding those lost rushes that made us fall in love with this scene to start with come flooding back, wave after wave? Or listening to tracks like M.D.A. & Spherical’s futuristic head-twister ‘Dutch Courage’ and being blown back by its boundary smashing ideas and euphoric energy?

Euphoria — the king of dance music compilations
Written by benz on 18-10-06 11:56 (6926 views)
(15 comments)
There was a time when commercially-orientated dance music compilations consisted of little more than ‘Dance Zone’, ‘Now That’s What I Call Dance’, ‘Club Zone’ and ‘The Best Dance Album In The World... Ever!’ OK, they are clearly all awesome and there was also the slightly more underground effort — ‘Energy Rush’ (more on that later) and ‘The Annual’ made impressive dents on the compilation charts — but credible, commercially successful dance music collections were somewhat of a rarity. The long-running, massively popular Euphoria series was one of the turning points in this timeline, deftly pleasing commercial audiences as well as die-hard clubbing ones.

Mark Rawson’s last Thirsty Thursday: will it be the thirstiest yet?
Written by HarderFaster on 17-10-06 22:47 (6176 views)
(8 comments)
Mark Rawson first hit the decks in 2003, picking up the basic principles of mixing within just three hours after a night out. Buying his own decks shortly afterwards, he played out for the first time only one week later at a house party and knew he’d found his calling. Totally self-taught, he’s yet to have the basic concepts of mixing explained to him technically: “I watched my friends play, watched them twitch these knobs and then worked out what they were doing!”

They call him “the clean living Dutchman.” Marco V is the most unassuming dj and superstar on the planet, yet his popularity is undeniably huge. His driving ambition, acknowledgement of change, and all round positive approach to what he does lies at the heart of his continued success.

Protect humans with jam
Written by Adam Symbiosis on 16-10-06 15:14 (9158 views)

Being a promoter is an interesting and exciting job from the outside, promoting excitement, great times and great parties. Some promoters though have to promote themselves 24–7 even if they have nothing to talk about other than how great they are, thinking people forget they’re talking it up just to line their own pockets. Sometimes, however, there are people who put on parties for all together more altruistic reasons. With this in mind I went to meet two lovely ladies to talk about suffering, doing something you love and jam.

Welcome to the colourful world of Wid & Ben
Written by HarderFaster on 13-10-06 12:37 (7444 views)

Given the current state of the hard dance scene, with even some of the top names packing it in to jump on the electro bandwagon and once dependable big name promotions resorting to running events every six months, those that go the extra mile are few and far between. It’s no wonder then that the few who do successfully put their all into dj’ing, producing and promoting hard dance are making a name for themselves. Two of the most hard-working and talented individuals around right now are Kettering-based Andy Widdop & Ben Thomas aka Wid & Ben.

Back to Bedrock with John Digweed
Written by benz on 12-10-06 10:37 (6123 views)
(10 comments)
With Bedrock’s Anniversary round the corner, we thought it was high time that someone tracked down hand honcho John Digweed to trace back the club/record label/brand’s history and construct some sort of Bedrock timeline. It has been one of the most influential names in dance music for the past decade, making and breaking new djs and artists with its high-quality series of single and compilation releases, and global events. If it’s cool, quality, underground house music that you’re after, Bedrock is always one of the first places to look.

Knowwhere WeAre5 reviewed
Written by Adam Symbiosis on 11-10-06 20:47 (6496 views)

It’s interesting the different sounds, colours and thoughts you experience pre party. Tonight as I made my way to the Knowwhere 5th birthday party, it was a rendition of ‘Under The Boardwalk’ outside the Embankment tube station. Beautifully sung by a female vocalist I decided to listen for a while, but was it a taste of the vocal bliss that was to come down at London’s Heaven?

Brazilian minimal duo Ung & Bastos
Written by Kiko on 11-10-06 20:11 (8893 views)

Breno Ungierowicz and Renato Pires Bastos became friends in a very peculiar way. Picture the scene: they went clubbing to Rio de Janeiro’s Bunker in 2000. There, found out they were pulling the same girl at the night, so started an argument. After solving the embarrassing situation, Breno stayed with Alessandra and — believe it or not — they still stayed friends. More than that, from that night Breno and Renato had become musical partners, without even knowing.
