Since their inception in 2000, the dynamic duo HardWired has been a relentless force in the local electronic music scene. Originally diving deep into the hypnotic realms of techno, HardWired captivated audiences with their innovative beats and pulsating rhythms.

In their quest for sonic exploration, HardWired reinvented themselves as NeuroKrem, marking a bold transition into the breakbeat scene. Under this alias, they pushed the boundaries of breakbeat production, infusing their tracks with intricate drum patterns and heavy basslines. NeuroKrem's work was celebrated for its complexity and energy, further solidifying their reputation as versatile producers.

Today, HardWired continues to evolve, now producing electrifying tracks in the drum and bass subgenre, specifically focusing on the intense and fast-paced world of 170 BPM. Their latest productions are a testament to their ability to adapt and innovate, blending hard-hitting beats with atmospheric soundscapes that keep listeners on the edge of their seats.

Whether you're a techno purist, a breakbeat enthusiast, or a drum and bass aficionado, HardWired's ever-evolving sound promises to deliver an unparalleled auditory experience. Join HardWired on their journey through the electronic music landscape and witness the evolution of true musical mastery.

INK : The story so far......

An architect first visualizes then realises, making something out of nothing, making sure that not only the object itself shines but also the space around it. The sound is moulding, shaping and morphing at the hands of Dj Ink... 

The year is 1990 and a young Dj Ink has solidified his love for the culture known as hip hop- as the years move on so does UK street music, there are new genres forming and Ink begins to hear what is familiar to him, but there is a new twist-It is the UK passing by the USA, with a huge dose of African and Jamaican influence, This is music to a budding Dj Ink's ears, he naturally becomes involved and it doesn’t take too long before he begins to make his mark. 

First begins the Pirate radio circuit. Working hard at his craft and allowing the followers to get familiar with the roll, steadily bookings began to build up and soon it would be time for Ink to become associated with three names that changed the landscape of British electronic music-Basement Records, and slightly later Metalheadz and Renegade Hardware. Ink would go onto form his own imprint- Architecture Recordings, releasing anthems from himself and various crew members, bringing through new talent and the cream of the heavy hitters within drum n bass. If you're familiar with drum n bass/jungle you’ll know instantly the weight these labels carry, and if you're not by just scratching the surface you’ll become aware of the impact they have had. Renegade Hardware & Metalheadz are two commitments Dj Ink has upheld to this day, through thick and thin, engraved in the wall of time.

Essential work includes 'The 50th (Blueprint)' (1st Drum and Bass/Jungle tune selected live by a dj (LTJ Bukem) on BBC Radio 1 essential DnB show ever!) and "Altitude" on Basement Records, ‘Feel da heat’ taken from the LP ‘Can u draw sound?’ on Architecture Recordings, ‘Kaos Theory EP’ on Renegade Hardware, ‘Shine’ on Metalheadz, and the now infamous posse cut ‘Instinct’ also on Architecture, this is just a small fraction by Ink that has made waves. 

The now famous "Horsemen" project was a concept headed up by Ink, Loxy, Dylan & Keaton. Originally formed due to the affinities amongst the original four, the crew went onto bring together producers from all over the globe under the "Horsemen" banner- beat makers who have been inspired by the foundations laid down by The Four Horsemen went on to receive acclaim from critics and music buyers alike.

Ink has a number of long players under his belt, to select a few In chronological order these are - Incision and Can You Draw Sound for Architecture Recordings, Hard Soul w/ Perpetuum for Colours Audio and: The Last Scroll for Renegade Hardware. In more recent events we have "The Tree & The Wind" by INK & SIN also on Architecture Recordings.  With these credits to his name it is fair to say INK continues to make his mark on DnB.

From an early age Sharanya has had a distinct connection and curiosity with music, in particular with musical patterns and their intricate melodic properties. Growing up in Malaysia her attentions were diverted to a number of musical scenes as varied as classical Indian and Western music which eventually lead to electronic music. Moving to Australia in 2009, she soon started attending local parties in Perth and Melbourne. Collecting music most of her life, she soon found herself immersed with this new electronic sound she discovered. It wouldn't be long before she realised that she really desired to be on the other side of the DJ booth. Her DJ career began in earnest and over the following years she started playing at after parties, small clubs and gatherings, establishing her name and her sound of minimal techno and micro house. She’s played in Melbourne, Sydney, Berlin, Barcelona, Romania and Lithuania. Her sound invites you to go on a journey with her in her spaceship.
