In your face Hardcore mix! Plenty of doubles and only the hardest of kick drums.

First mix in a series I hope to bring to showcase the latest and hardest Hardcore (with a little bit off Skullstep thrown in) tunes, alongside some classics thrown in for good measure.

Forged in the UK free party scene of the mid 2000's, Obsidian23 is no stranger to the underground sounds. From barns to slaughterhouses, warehouses to car parks and tunnels, he has laid down a plethora of different genres throughout the years with his old soundsystem crew DNA (RIP), with regular appearances at the fabled London "Scumtek" parties. Putting on club nights throughout the years all over the UK, including cities such as London, Bristol and Lincoln to name a few, as well as powering and performing on the TakeOver stage at Illusive Festival, Obsidian23 has many a notch on his belt when it comes to pushing tunes to the masses!

After a hiatus of over 5 years, he has returned to the scene with more of a focus on 4x4 styles which have always been the underlying passion of his DJ career. Always leaning towards the harder side of whatever genre he spun, Obsidian23 is re-entering the battlefield with an arsenal of Industrial Hardcore & Skullstep/Crossbreed in the bag, alongside some kicks in his Hard/Acid Techno selection that are sure to push any soundsystem to its full potential!

HARD music DJ coming out of the Leeds underground now residing in Manchester. 
Playing all things brutal and fun. 

Raised on classic rock by my dad, my musical journey started with albums like Korn's "Korn" and Slipknot's "Iowa." As I grew older, my love for heavy music expanded, and I immersed myself in a wide range of rock and metal genres. However, everything changed when I stumbled upon The Prodigy's performance at the Download Festival, a metal festival. It was a revelation that electronic and dance music could be just as intense, if not more so, than metal. 

During this time, I made friends who were deeply into IDM, jungle, and gabber, coinciding with the rise of dubstep. This led me to develop a deep affection for all forms of extreme music and the fascinating intersections where they blend together. 

In 2015, I co-organized two events with a friend called UNITE and had the incredible opportunity to play at the renowned WYTM warehouse raves. It was during these experiences that I truly fell in love with sharing the sounds I adore with a live audience. 

Subsequently, I discovered the Fractal Leeds event, where I frequently indulged in the hardest and darkest sounds available. 

In around 2018 I became a resident DJ for the “IS DEAD” Deadstream playing many shows on a live stream format and including various styles that I love from bass to hardcore.
Silently perfecting my skills in the background, I am now driven to obliterate venues and constantly push the boundaries of my abilities.
