Re-recorded set from the Feersum night, held on the 29th June 2024 at Phonox in Brixton. Hope you all like?

Feersum Set - 29th June 2024 (Re-Recorded & Expanded)

Live for the ''classics,'' type mixes covering dance music from around that special time of the 1995-2002 era. Hoping for surprise wins from some of the newer stuff too.

A nostalgic late 90's/early noughties raver,  love underground 90’s Hard Trance, Techno, Trance, Deep House, Dark Wave and slammin' Hard House.

Still reminisce fondly about Provocation (run by Frantic/Convergence) -  Office Bar, London, 6am Sunday start! Nothing better than Spencer Freeland and Phil Reynolds B2B, surrounded by the most crazy and broad minded crowd in the world!

My next dj gig is at Meltdarn Reloaded 6th September 2025 Fez Club Sheffield

My name is Steve Ansell, I’ve been DJing since 1995, mainly hardhouse, D&B, jungle, early hardcore, breakbeat, Trance, lounge… you name it… 

i mix on both vinyl and digital.

Lately I have embraced the hard dance scene once again, labels such as Tidy, neukleuz, tripoli, kaktai, VC, Spinball, Flashpoint, Deprivation etc.

concentrating on the harder, darker filthier side of Hard house and NRG
So new mixes will be mainly in this vein.

These are raw, unedited mixes, so please bare that in mind… no polishing here!!

Enjoy!!

All my mixes get uploaded to our DJ Collective page...  https://soundcloud.com/bb4ldjcollective

Hard House lover since 2001 and it never really went away. Was always a raver but dipped my toes in mixing back in 2011 for a couple of years then life got in the way. 

The music has always been there and never stopped listening. I have now well and truly been bitten by the bug again in early 2022 and now mixing non-stop and also beginning to livestream more as well over on Twitch for We ❤️ Hard House, Atomic & Ins@nity.

The classics from the early 2000s will always hold a special place in my heart but I must admit the tracks that have been coming out now and over the last few years have taken over and make up the bulk of my mixes. I've never been one to focus on genres and its quite simple for me, if I think it's a banger it's going in the mix!

Loving the hard but still very energetic sounds being produced these days and really defines the sound I love creating in my mixes. 

Luckily this has coincided with a group of friends, and we are having a collective mid-life crisis/dance music renaissance and we have formed the BB4L DJ collective.

The BB4L DJ Collective is where we can share own mixes as well as highlighting guest mixes across genres and promoting fun dance music. 

Hope you enjoy the sounds happy for you to share them wherever you like and would love to hear from you. 

Cheers, SH... 👊

Ian M is the original hard house DJ and still the best.

For eight years in the ‘90s, the Leicester prodigy played a central role in the success of the most important after-hours club in British dance music history, Trade, the most influential club in the annals of hardness.

Having cut his teeth in his hometown for several years towards the end of the 80s, the DJ world’s God of thunder got his first big break when Trade offered him a slot on a tour date in Birmingham.

The rewarding residency that followed at the London club’s homebase in London gave Ian the challenging task of playing after the lord of the dance Tony de Vit, one that he pulled off successfully week after week.

The fruitful relationship with Trade afforded the Godfather of hard house a number of memorable career highlights. These include playing to an audience of 250,000 at the Love Parade in Leeds, teaming up with Danny Tenaglia at Twilo in New York and playing Dance Valley in Amsterdam alongside Carl Cox.

The punisher’s more recent successes at the epicentre of the hard universe are as notable and widespread, as his much-admired residencies at Sundissential, Insomniacz, Storm, Twist, Sinergy, Fuel and Insekt testify.

Worldwide demand for his dynamic DJ sets has taken Ian everywhere from Ireland, France, Hong Kong, Canada, Ibiza, South Africa, New York, Washington D.C, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

As a creator of top quality tunes with high production values, Ian has never been described as prolific, but when he does deliver a new tune, it tends to be a major event rather than just another record coming out. 

Who can forget the phenomenal global hysteria surrounding his timeless masterpiece ‘Crazy Pills’ when it first appeared?

Prior to that landmark outing, a string of unforgettable classics had cemented his reputation as a most outstanding music maker. 

These include two remixes of Dyewitness for Tidy Trax, his famed ‘Black Is Black’ remake for the same label, the storming singles ‘Annihilation’ and ‘The Dreamer’ along with hard-as-nails treatments for top labels such as React, Tripoli Trax, Elasticman, OVD, Kaktai and Mohawk.

Ian compiled and mixed the biggest-selling volume of all the Trade album series, and has released a host of superb compilation mixes for Tidy Trax, Fevah N.Z and Torture Garden.

2009 saw Ian returning to the studio with Dom Sweeten (of OD404) and Karl Davis (from Ireland) to run up three tracks, of which two were released for Karl’s Pure NRG label and one (DJ Rave) ended up being used for Dom’s mix on Spinball’s “Velvet Hammer” compilation.

2010 has seen Ian going back in the studio but this time, it is with Dave Owens & Valex to co-produce “Demons”, which was exclusively featured on Valex's Toolbox album together with an exclusive "Butcher Boy" Remix. Ian finished the year going back in Dave Owens Turtledog Studio with the huge "Crank" for Tidy.

2011 has started with Ian going in with Mr Owens again for the massive "Where R Da Drums" for newly formed label Twist Trax and the Radio 1 played "Bang Yer Mind" (with Ben Stevens) for Vicious Circle. And finally finishing the year off with a new track called "Dirty GaGa", recorded at Ben Stevens all new & plush studios nr Manchester.

And 2012 is looking as busy, with another visit to Mr Owens Turtledog Studios with Ben Townsend (man about town) in January, where we knocked out "Pop Idol" on Smalltown Records. Other projects are due to follow.

2013 starts with a mix album for Razor Recordings, with the name "The Razorz Edge", which has gone straight to No.1 in the Juno Download Album Chart. Ian will be in the studio again at some point in 2013 with more new artists and will be working on a new Hard House offshoot label & signing new tracks for it sometime in 2013. Watch this space for details!!
