STL are a fresh, forward thinking, breakbeat obssessed, dance music act from the South East of England and comprises of , Daniel Taylor, Luciano Taiani and Richard Andrews . All three are long established within the dance music industry, collectively having well over 100 releases on vinyl and CD in their various solo and collaborative production guises. STL have worked alongside a plethora of cutting edge dance music pioneers including AC Slater, Calvertron, Jim from The Wideboys, Harry Diamond from My Digital Enemy, and Austin Reynolds aka Soul Hooligan to name but a few. 

First collaborating in 1998 on seminal trancecore works, over the years the trio have remained firm friends both in and out of the studio. In 2009, inspired by The Prodigy's immense album 'Invaders Must Die', the trio formed STL to showcase the monster breakbeat slammers they've been busy concocting in the studio. Taking influences from each dance music genre they've previously written, early 1990's old school hardcore, drum & bass, as well as everything breaks, STL's musical weaponry speaks for itself on the dance floor.

Oi Oi I’m Ryan (HDSN). Welcome to my page. 

Here’s a little bio. 

I bought my first set of turntables at the age of 14 when I was already collecting Happy Hardcore records. DJing was one of those things that just come naturally to me. My friends were always over at my house for mixing sessions. At 16 I started playing alongside my brother and friends every fortnight at a local bar for an under 18’s night playing Happy Hardcore. Two years later, out of a thousand entrants my mix tape came top five in the ‘Ministry Of Sound DJ Of The Year’. I played a live vinyl set in Topshop situated in London’s Oxford Street, on a busy Saturday afternoon. I continued entering DJ competitions and talent nights along with a mid-week slot at a local bar. At 20, I was given full weekend residency at my local nightclub Steam, playing Old-Skool, House and Trance. In the next two years I reached the final of the ‘Young DJ Of The Year’ competitions, which were run by the Staffordshire & Cheshire’s number one radio station, Signal 1. I came out as overall winner of the competition in 2002. My prize was my first ever pair of Technics 1210’s (which I still use), mixer, flight cases and the opportunity to play a live set at Café Mambo in Ibiza. The win also landed me a set at the opening night of the Stoke club, Lomax, for the ‘Youth Upfront Awards’. I then tried to further my career by signing onto the internet DJ agencies, 'Topjox' and 'Club Dreams', sending out demos to gain recognition. In the early summer of 2004 I decide to try my luck by booking a one way ticket to Ibiza for the season. It was tough at first, but by the end of July I had a residency at the brilliant Plastik Lounge in San Antonio. After a few weeks playing with some of San An’s finest house DJ’s, I was given the chance to warm up the decks in Es Paradis funky lounge. But best of all, after weeks of trying, Alex Ellenger, who with Judge Jules ran the funky room in Eden, give me the finest two hours of my DJ career by asking me to play a set. The next year I returned to Ibiza and became one of the residents in the swanky new Hush bar in San Antonio's west end. When I came back to England I started my own night in a local bar. I then became one of the Tech-House/Hard House residents for my brother's local club night ‘Euphonic Fuzion’. 

Even though I enjoy playing many styles of dance music, I've never lost my passion for Happy Hardcore. It will forever be the biggest part of me musically and that's why I created this page. To share the love for this incredible music. 

I seriously didn’t expect quite the following on here but you guys have been absolutely amazing and I genuinely appreciate all your support, whether it be messages, comments, likes & shares. Thank you so much! 

I play Happy Hardcore, Jungle/Drum & Bass, Trance, Hard House, House, Electro & Techno and have since 1994. Expect lots of vinyl classic mixes, live sets on Twitch, mix compilations and upfront sets from these genres. Enjoy!!! 

All my mixes and ones which I have permission are available for download.
