DJ A.K. - 92 - 94 Breakbeat Hardcore & Jungle Mix 14.10.23

Club Kinetic resident and Next Generation Records boss DJ Brisk has been at the forefront of the hardcore scene since the very beginning. Releasing tracks on the mighty Kniteforce, Remix Records and Stormtrooper Records, he then began to showcase his remixing skills. Brisk's take on Jimmy J & Cru-L-T's popular happy hardcore anthem 'Six Days' set the bar high. His remixing ability then took off, creating some of the greatest remixes the scene has to offer. Labels such as Happy Trax, Impact Records and Just Another Label all wanted a piece and Brisk certainly delivered. Teaming up with Trixxy he then produced one of the most memorable happy hardcore records, the massive 'Eye Opener'. 

His live DJ sets were technically brilliant. Extremely energetic with long, on point mixes, he was always a fans favourite at the major events. DJ Brisk is another legend of the happy hardcore scene and firmly secures his place in the hardcore hall of fame.

The live sample I've used at the beginning is taken from his set at 'Helter Skelter - Discovery' 1/6/96.

Happy Hardcore Classics 73  'DJ Brisk: The Anthems Pt 1'

Obviously these 2 phenomenal artists deserve to be in the Hardcore Hall Of Fame on their own merit. Jimmy J, owner of the Remix Records shop and one 3rd of the Happy Hardcore trio, Triple J and Cru-L-T (DJ Luna-C), the legend, the pioneer, the master, the creator of all mankind.... but when they combined, they were immense and produced some of Hardcore's most important records. 
Their full on relentless, perfectly executed breakbeats, old skool stab patterns and uplifting pianos seriously captured that early to mid 90's feel down to a tee. They have so many great tracks and remixes under their belt.
The monumental triumph 'Take Me Away' was quite possibly one of the first hardcore tracks I ever heard and to this day, still gives me that ultimate rush. They also had an international hit with crowd favourite, 'Six Days'. The track's highly recognisable breaks and percussion give it energy throughout and the simple, yet memorable vocals take it to another level. Their remix of E'voke's Runaway just oozes class. So good that I had to play both the Original Mix and, in my opinion, the far superior '97 Remix. The duo were indeed, true masters of the 'remix' and it definitely shows on their version of DJ Demand's bouncy techno stomper, 'Dark & Light'. This could just be one of the greatest remixes ever. Complete with added Snap samples to bring us into the 'light' deep into the track. It's just a stroke of genius.
Jimmy J & Cru-L-T came up with the goods time after time and will forever be one of the greatest ever Happy Hardcore duos.

Hi, I’m Hdsn. Here’s a little bio. 

I bought my first set of turntables at the age of 14 when I was already collecting happy hardcore vinyl. 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 set live in Topshop situated in Oxford Street, London 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 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, 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 started this page.

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

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

For future bookings please inbox me for details or via Facebook messenger.
