The home of all my releases, and any remixes, past, present (and future - when I can get them uploaded!). 

I've been lucky enough to collaborate with some awesome engineers in the last few years: Paul King, James Nardi and Tom Parr - whose sounds have inspired me over my many years listening to, and playing, hard house. But big props go to Jon BW for bringing some of my crazier ideas to life in our collaborative partnership - watch out for more from us in the near future with added Dawn Lee and Bass Jumper <3

Dawn Lee & K8-e - Kicks 4 Free (Radio Edit)

It's 2 years since K8-e & Jon BW's last joint appearance on Cheeky with the absolutely massive 'Fired Up', so we're glad to have them back with this tough house number. 'Smasha' has all the signature sounds their both known for - fun, catchy riffs and rap hooks underpinned by chunky beats and a thumping bassline, but this time they've slowed things right down, making this a perfect crossover track for both the warm up hard house DJs, and the tougher end of the UK house scene championed by the likes of Trick and Untidy.

Smasha

K8 - E & Jon BW - Smasha - OUT NOW

This will be Bens 3rd release on Cantina Records, and probably our favourite one to date! real bounce in typical Ben Warren fashion, something original, something fun, and something altogether fantastic from one of our favourite producers in the business, its Ben's first crack at making something like this and it  was well worth the wait! airing on the side of scouse house this will surely appeal to a much wider audience, get amongst it!

From Cheeky Tracks:  "Female DJ & producer K8-e has definitely established herself as one of 2020's artists to watch on the hard house scene, thanks to a number of well-received releases hitting the download stores last year, and her versatile DJing style which earned her a residency with the respected We Love Hard House brand, as well as a place in the final of the Tidy 25 Weekender DJ competition. She follows up her Cheeky debut 'Rude B1tch' with another Jon BW collaboration, which shows a very different side to her sound. 'Fired Up' is a peak time vocal thumper which is heavily influenced by Trade's late 90s heyday, when major label remixes and compilations brought legends like Tony De Vit to the masses. Already receiving support from Anne Savage, Amber D, Paul King and many more!"

K8-e - Don't Want *FREE DOWNLOAD*

Starchart is the first tune I ever worked on back in the mid-2000s with the late, great, Jamie 'Tik Tok' Taylor on the controls. 

We never sent this to any labels as it was the time when vinyl was on the decline and digital labels were still finding their feet. I wasn't really sure where would be the best home for it, wanted to keep it special for a while, then my sound changed in the years just after and I had a break from djing.

When I heard the news of Jamie's untimely passing I was taken back to when we became friends, then to this, the first tune we made together, and the mad times we had in the years after. I love this tune, it reminds me of Jamie and I want to share it.

Rest in peace Jay Tay ❤

Made this little number with Jon BW back in June 2019 after being inspired by Pixiee's awesome tune "Funk Bunker" and speed garage tunes of old.  It's got lots of WOBBLE!  Enjoy :) x

From Cheeky Tracks: "Another HUGE label debut from another fast rising artist on the hard house scene! Kate Fairbrother AKA 'K8-e' has made a big impact on the hard house world in the last 12 months - her debut release 'My Kind Of Company' on the We Love Hard House label was critically acclaimed by Andy Whitby in Mixmag earlier this year, and thanks to some banging performances at the We Love Hard House events down south, she became one of their first female residents alongside Cheeky favourite Dawn Lee. Now she follows up her recent release on Ideal with another Jon BW collaboration, putting her own unique, chunky speed garage spin on a vocal you should all recognise. 'Rude B1tch' has been a massive tune in Cheeky Tracks manager General Bounce's afterhours sets over the last 6 months, and has also been heavily supported by Digital Mafia, Amber D, Jack Butler, Ryan Walker, James Revill and loads more!"

On the remix, rising talent Bass Jumper gives the track his trademark Northern feel. Already receiving support from Anne Savage, Amber D, Paul King and many more!
