Ben Keen, aka BK, is recognised the world over as one of the most successful and prolific Hard House producers of all time. He conquered the world of dance with his own unique sound; tracks stacked full of energy and brimming with infusions trance and techno that redefined the Hard House style.

“IF ONE MAN HAS SINGLE-HANDEDLY SHAPED WHAT OUR WORLD IS DANCING TO, THEN IT’S HE.”

Growing up on the rave scene, he fell hard and fast for DJs and acts such as Carl Cox and The Prodigy, making him resolute on forging a career path in music. The determined 16-year-old began learning his trade as a trainee engineer at Carnaby Street Studios, London, where he was writing music for film and television. But, after discovering clubbing at the legendary Trade — The birthplace of Hard House and where he would later become resident — he began utilising his spare time (and the studio’s equipment) to experiment with his own sounds. He took his early influences from watching legends play at Trade play; Tony de Vit, Steve Thomas and the Sharp Boys playing tough US House and Techno through to Hard House in its early form. Later, returning to the club with a DJ bag slung over his shoulder, his own music in hand, he destroyed the dancefloor and thus a legend was born.

Continuing to cut his teeth in the world of producing, he honed his craft releasing music under several aliases, such as Razor Babes, Cortina. Whatever the artist name, BK’s music was irresistible to both clubbers and critics alike. He went on to storm the Global Dance Charts with standout tracks ‘Music
Is Moving’ and ‘Revolution’, and his acclaimed Nukleuz ‘Hard Beat’ series propelled Nukleuz into becoming the biggest selling independent record label for two years in a row. One of the most talented DJs / producers on the scene, he has gone on to produce literally hundreds of releases and remixes, spanning a career that has seen him travel the world, creating celebrated spin off parties / labels Riot and Slam in his wake.
2020 onwards has seen BKs vast back catalogue gain renewed traction with some of the World’s top techno DJs. With plenty of new releases on the horizon, including an epic 20th anniversary re-work of ‘Revolution’ due to drop on Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are the Brave label, BK shows absolutely no sign of stopping.

Everybody should know who Ben Stevens & Adam M are by now. They have both established themselves in Hardhouse scene over the last decade as 2 of the Hardest solo acts on the circuit.

But then 1 cold winters day in Manchester 2009....

Adam & Ben spent a day in the studio together, some sort of chemical reaction or phenomenon must have happened in there that day (investigations are still on-going) The outcome of their studio collaboration together was the massive track "BAD MAN" This was the start of a very special studio relationship that continued to create various modern day Hardhouse anthems such Why Can't You See/ Mind Bender/ My F-Ing House/ Massiveness/ It Began In Rotherham & Covonia (Winner of 2011 Hardhouse Awards Best Track) They have also done some huge remix projects since 2009, Their massive remix of Chris C - Freefall for Tidy Trax & Their updates of the 2 rave anthems N-Trance - Set You Free & Cenith X - Feel.

What next... An idea sparked for a new LIVE show & the name A vs B was born. They decided that the best possible way for them both to showcase their music & to take things to the next level would be to do a LIVE show. This would not only give them total control over every element in each set but also the ability to add almost anything they wanted, including the ability to do live editing & remixing on the fly. The possibilities are endless....

Now in 2012 with the release of the 1st A vs B Album around the corner, every A vs B set is jam packed full of brand new & unheard music, these guys are most definitely the hottest thing on the Hardhouse scene right now!

ilogik started dj'ing around 1989 after seeing a dj called dj herbie at an acid house club club in Sunny old Bradford. He wondered how on earth the dj was mixing and the speed was staying the same so i went over and looked and saw that he had a pitch control on the turntable. The rest is history. He got his first set of 1210's and then got a 3rd one and then a 4th and now here he is.. 

He started out playing hip hop and Italian House and then got into early hardcore (whats known now as oldskool now) playing stuff on labels such as suburban base, impact , reinforced , moving shadow. From here he got into happy hardcore under the name E-logic and this is where he stayed for a few years. He produced hardcore tracks for a number of years for Essential Platinum which is Dougals label and his first hit was called "kick your legs" which samples the strike "your sure do" vocal with great affect. Ilogik Secured a residency at the legendary Asylum club at Bowlers in Manchester and found himself playing all over the country and all the top rave events.

Ilogik then made the switch from happy hardcore to hardhouse. This happend at the legendary Sundissential club. He went with some friends and loved the music and found it very similar to hardcore in many ways. From here on he knew hei wanted to play hardhouse so thats what he did. He started making hardhouse tracks and his first one was "Make it happen" which launched his Elasticman Label to great success
As one of the most consistant and in demand Hard Dance djs and producers in the world ilogiks success owes much to his innovative and uncomprimixing syle not only with his music but also with his turntablism skills. He is an inspiration to many.

Ilogik is one of very few djs in the world to push the boundries of mixing and do as much as posssilbe behind the decks, untilise every knob on the mixer but at the same time be as seemless as possible in the mix as most of you know who have seen ilogik dj.While so many djs and producers have got loast saturating themselves in current styles and trends ilogik has kept his defining sound and style of mixing. He always endevours to push the boundaries in search of new unique sounds and constantly welcomes new technology and as a result of this is 2 steps ahead of the pack.

Not content with mixing cds and vinyl ilogik again emraced technology and pioneered a whole new concept of entertainment which only a few are doing worldwide in all scenes, ilogik is the only harddance dvj and was the first hardance dj to do so. Using the revolutionare Pioneer dvj-x1's he manipulates video images and syncronises them to the music giving the clubber the ultimate experience so rather than the fosus on just dj'ing its on a full performance.

More recently since the emmergance of the pioneer djm800 mixer ilogik shows why he has been labeled the most technical harddance dj on the circuit showcaseing the mixer and utilising it with the cdj1000 to its full potential. What will the future bring to this ever evolving dj?

Very soon im going to be slowing down the release of my own tracks and using them purley for my dj sets and mix albums and Soundcloud will be one of the only places that i will be posting samples of tracks up. I will still be doing remixes and these will come out but no more original tracks!
