Regarded by many of his peers as a technical genius on the wheels of steel, beatmaster Ben has become one of the most in-demand hard house DJs in Britain, with regular slots at high-profile events such as Frantic, Storm, Creamfields and the Tidy Weekenders.

Ben has enjoyed many bookings in Ireland and Europe, including arguably the best festival on the continent – Dance Valley in Amsterdam.

The Mixmag Future Hero winner has tackled tours of Australia (Adelaide, Perth & Brisbane), Canada (Edmonton, Calgary & Winnipeg) and New Zealand (Auckland and Christchurch) and the acclaimed DJ’s international profile is consistently growing.

There are two superb albums which best illustrate the talented mix maestro’s skills. In 2005 he effectively filled Andy Farley’s shoes on the seminal I Love VC set, and from his awesome Fireball Recordings their first compilation Firebox – Volume 1. Other compilations include the Hardbox Strikes Back series from Vicious Circle and the Tidy Music Library from Tidy Trax.

Djing is just a small part of Ben’s repertoire and with over 100 tracks now commercially released he is one of hard dance’s leading producers.. Spending most of the week in the studio engineering music for other artists and writing his own blend of high energy dance music Ben is a one stop shop for all things hard.

Some of the UK’s other leading labels have also secured his services: Tidy, Toolbox, Flashpoint & Tripoli Trax but to name a few as well as being the label manager for Vicious Circle & his own Fireball Recordings imprint Ben also runs the Toolbox Digital download site so constantly has his finger on the pulse of the hard dance scene

Ben spent much of 2007 laying the foundations for the next phase of his career – his own Fireball Recordings and by 2010 the label has become one of the biggest players with huge releases each week. Merging releases from the superstars and up and coming artists Fireball has gained an awesome reputation for quality hard dance music from across the genre.

If that wasn’t enough Ben and Rodi Style have paired up to unleash the awesome ‘Chaos Theory’ project on clubland utilizing 8 virtual decks from Traktor pro and various midi controllers to offer an awesome show. Tracks, vocals, loops and effects are all layered over each other to create an amazing audio experience that sets any dancefloor alight!

The abilities and talents of Ben Stevens are without question: whether producing tunes or playing them, he knows exactly how to work a dancefloor and raise the roof off a club.

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.”
Mixmag

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.

ALEX M.O.R.P.H.: “Music is the Key. Melodies are the Path. 
Beats are Universal”.

Since the mid 90s Alex M.O.R.P.H has set out to shapeshift within the dance scene as per his alias, leaving no facet of trance unturned and showing the top of the tree is a position that he’s grown rather fond of. Even in a time where stats and streams, followers and figures are pushed to the front, the maths behind M.O.R.P.H’s staying power are frankly mind-boggling. ‘Not All Superheroes Wear Capes’ said the man on his 2016 album – but M.O.R.P.H. is deserving of honours fit for a king. “Passion, discipline, a lot of hard work, and most importantly the love for music”, ensure his crown never slips.

From collaborations with Paul van Dyk and Armin van Buuren (both of whom have always repped M.O.R.P.H. to the fullest), to remixes of Dash Berlin, Gareth Emery, Aly & Fila and Faithless, M.O.R.P.H. is the epitome of can’t stop-won’t stop, earning VIP entry to the globe’s most in-demand clubs and arenas as he continues with the energy and passion of his 1996 self when the Seelenlandschaften imprint came calling. It’s telling that M.O.R.P.H. being the first and only German DJ to play New York’s legendary Madison Square Garden, puts his touring and gig commitments in a different league considering his knocking-out-the-park performances at Cream Ibiza, Mayday, Ultra Music Festival and the ubiquitous A State of Trance spectaculars. Godskitchen, Ushuaia Ibiza, Space Miami, his own HeavensGate takeovers – all mega-scale spaces the German has commanded with ease and never taken for granted, delivering shows and sets living long in the memory while leaving you fiending for his next throb of beats. 

With M.O.R.P.H. still on a high-riding rollercoaster after all these years, cruising through ‘Sunset Boulevard’ while keeping the vibe at ‘Maximum Overdrive’, he has never lost sight of the true goal in life: “find your personal balance, keep things in line – and don’t risk your health!” A true exponent of knowing the scene never sits still, M.O.R.P.H.’s longevity and get-up-and-go overlaps into his handling of the Universal Nation label and podcast series: the man eats, sleeps and breathes music. Global lockdown may have forced a temporary timeout, but it only stirred creativity and tapped into other production processes, ready for when the world was good to go again.

Anyone with a keen ear for the High Contrast label over the last 18 months or so will have heard M.O.R.P.H. hiding in plain sight with a surefire supply of thrills and spills, adding to his reputation as a master of sounds under multiple names maintaining both melodic and attacking instincts. Again it’s all about balance and the right way of going about keeping things simple: “it’s just so important that all elements fit together well: that’s how you keep the atmosphere instead of just adding some big and loud synths in the break that rips the audience in two. It might work fine on the dancefloor, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not how I do things”. Always an in-demand remixer, if you’re given the keys to take on hall-of-famers such as ‘Madagascar’ by Art of Trance and ‘Carte Blanche’ by Veracocha, you know you’ve been doing something right. “One thing has never changed – a heart beating for music”.
 
Back to those statistics. M.O.R.P.H. is an all-time trance bestseller on Beatport and has twice entered the fabled DJ Mag Top 100 list. With a calculator-smashing amount of productions, remixes, compilation mixes and single of the year awards, M.O.R.P.H. has proved time and again his music is for the masses, with streams for favourites such as ‘An Angel’s Love’ and ‘The Reason’ racing into the millions upon millions. On top of being A State of Trance go-to guy and a Vandit Records MVP, he has released on major movers such as Ministry of Sound and Armada. And M.O.R.P.H. isn’t done yet. “I want to get trance back there where it belongs - to the main stages, to more people, sharing with them how gorgeous our music is, and how essential it is to experience it together”. With two new singles reflecting his worldwide adventures - ‘Calling Berlin’ and ‘Calling San Francisco’ – and another album in the pipeline, you believe Alex M.O.R.P.H. is still the man to make all these things happen.

Reverse Bass Hardstyle artist from Sydney, Australia

The majority of my mixes have been moved to https://www.mixcloud.com/nikimport/

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!
