Welcome to Episode 16 of The Hard Files and may I introduce you to the UK’s Reverse Bass King, MKN. Pretty much playing at every corner of the globe in recent years it’s kind of hard dispute his status. With many of his productions coming from Kutski’s “Keeping The Rave Alive” label, he’s also heavily involved in the ever growing HDUK brand. Alongside the productions comes one of the most popular Podcasts there is for hard music and that’s “The 100% Reverse Bass Podcast” It’s safe to say he’s more than doing his part for the scene and I’m a massive fan of his work, it’s an honour to have him feature. Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 17 of The Hard Files and may I introduce to you one of Hard Trance’s finest artists, Nick The Kid. He’s no stranger to the scene as he’s been around for more than 20 years, playing up and down the country at every event you can think of including Goodgreef, Gods Kitchen, Ministry Of Sound, Bionic and his own promotion Hindsight, he’s also played Ibiza on regular basis and has had successful tours in Asia and Australia. His most recent project is his successful label HTE (Hard Trance Europe) which features some of the best artists around at this time.

The Hard Files Ep17 (Nick The Kid Guest Mix)

My first ever set for Dioxide at the iconic Doncaster Warehouse after having a 12 year hiatus from music. It took Joe 3 years solid to get me to agree to doing just 1 set but after my mum passed away I knew I needed to get back to doing what I love the most and I was made permanent resident for this beloved Yorkshire brand. This event was originally planned for 2020 but as you all know, Covid happened and it was set back after set back but we got there in the end haha. I hope you enjoy this set as much as I did, it’s filled with both new (at the time) hardstyle and the early reverse bass that we all love (if you don’t then are you a real person?). The sets complimented by one of my favourite MC’s, E-LL and cameo appearances by Natz & JD Walker.. it wouldn’t be a Yorkshire rave without these. 🎱😎

Welcome back to The Hard Files! It's been a whole year since the last episode and what a way to kick things off again. On this episode we have a guest mix from currently one of the most sought after Hard artists in the UK, D-Willz! from only starting out a mere few years ago, he's gone from playing in his bedroom and streaming regularly to recently performing at the iconic Creamfields Festival and what a story that is. I compliment this guest mix with a selection of some of my favourite Early Hardstyle tracks as I celebrate 20 years this month since I first ever played out to an audience.
