James Valentine Insomniacz Apollo Arena Closing Set

I've not had a great deal of spare time this week. But I do enjoy a Sunday afternoon mix. So I grabbed a selection of tunes I've purchased over the past couple of weeks and smashed out an off-the-cuff mix. 

It was a lot of fun, I didn't know the tunes so it kept me on my toes. It jumps around a bit, but it left me with a feeling that despite what the naysayers say, that hard house is well and truly ALIVE!

1.	NeckBreakaz – The Launch – SHED TRAX
2.	Doodles – Won’t Give Up – C’est La Vit Records
3.	Manik (NZ) & DJ No Shirt – Outer Space – Lucid Audio
4.	Paul C (UK) – Different Strokes – Razor Recordings
5.	Mad House – Mohawk (Jason Nawty Remix) – Hard House Family
6.	Tom Whyld – Music Therapy – Hard House Family
7.	Karim – Reich (On Fire Mix) – Do Not Bend
8.	Steve NRG & Riggsy – My Kind Of Music – C’est La Vit Records

10.	Brody – Eureka – Digital Razor
11.	Karim – Kinky – Do Not Bend
12.	AFD – FKED US UP – SHED TRAX

The Solid State Mix Tape Vol 7 - Discam

I fell in love with the hard dance scene shortly after moving from my native New Zealand to the UK in 1999, raving in London every other weekend. In 2001 I bought my first decks and locked myself in my bedroom for 6 months learning to mix on vinyl then played out at a few events I ran with my mates. 
Family and responsibilities came along in 2006 and I had a long break from the scene until 2023 when I rediscovered my love for raving and mixing and reinvented myself from a hard trance to a hard house dj. 
2024 I played my first club gig in 18 years for Therapy at Basing House in London then Insanity in Rayleigh, Essex and on NYE played at Redliners - DJ's in PJ's at Basing House. My most recent gig was Mind Ova Matter in Bournemouth in April of this year.
Recently I have started running the hard house event Limelight with Barry Harding.
I have a monthly residency first Saturday of the month 6-8 pm on the Keeping Hard House Alive Twitch channel, 2nd Friday of the month on Four Forces Digital Twitch channel and last Friday of the month on the Insanity Twitch channel.
