This is episode 12 of The Hard Files and I welcome you to Scoot, who is one of the most in demand DJ's right now in the UK Hardcore circuit. Having a residency with the mighty Ravers Reunited & Clubland events plus releases on multiple labels, Scott's sound stands out from other producers and for a Hardcore fan there'll not be a track that he plays that you won't love.

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.

Welcome to Episode 18. The first Bounce guest of the series (after all I’d like to cover all Hard Dance genres) and it’s none other than TFI legend & Yorkshire’s number one Bounce DJ… Holty. If you like those vocal anthems then you’re going to love this. I try to compliment his guest mix with something a little different to what I’d usually play but I hope you enjoy it regardless.

Episode 20 of The Hard Files featuring the ever growing Serotonez. They made their respected names on their own then decided to join forces and what a force they’ve created and essentially carving out their own sounds “Welchcore” with hard and relentless beats along with singalong anthems at boundary pushing BPM’s. They have releases on multiple established labels and they are definitely an act to look out for if you haven’t seen them already.
