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!

Hardhouse Heroes - Ben Stevens

Straight Outta Lock Down... Featuring myself, Craig Lee, Dave Neal, Sarah Morrell as the 'everything is fine' support act, and also Decor Dan - whom I would like to take a moment to introduce to you. Decor Dan has a real flare for ideas... so he got the 4 of us together to do a mammoth one track each B2B2B2B together. What you also need to know about Decor Dan is that he has an incredibly excited interest in the art of 'Exotic Mixing'. That meaning that in this mix you will be lucky enough to hear some of the rarest beat chopping patterns from around the globe, that I can guarantee you will not hear anywhere else... (for good reason, ahem!!!) So not only am I bringing you a super special mega 4 DJ B2B2B2B One Track Each Mega mix for nothing more than our own entertainment knowing it will be a great mix to throw on at the afters... I am also bringing you some of the hottest freshest exotic mixing skills you will ever be lucky enough to hear. So sit back, whack the mix up loud and get ready for us to take you on a slightly shaky but none the less purposeful little skip down the genre that is hard house.

Decor Dan, The Kat, Craig Lee, Dave Neal - Straight Out Of Lock Down

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.
