DJ HARN (Neil Harrison) first became interested in dance music when he started listening to Now CD compilation albums when he was a teenager.  Artists such as Rank1, Darude, Fragma, Planet Perfecto and Lange began to influence his musical taste, and it wasn’t long before he started focusing his attention on uplifting trance music,and producing short mixes for friends.   
Following lots of positive feedback about his mixes, DJ HARN applied to join Discover Trance Radio in 2009, a popular online trance radio station ran by successful producer Dave Deen.  His show, entitled ‘Trance Reaction’ is broadcast every second Sunday of the month at 7pm, and usually focuses on the more up tempo aspects of the genre.  
Mixing music wasn’t enough for DJ HARN and he began to dabble with the production side of trance music, having acquired a copy of FL studio from a friend.  It wasn’t long before he started to build up a vast array of studio hardware & software to help him produce more technical sounds and melodies.  
In 2013, a friend of DJ HARN’s put him in contact with local trance producer and fellow FL user Martyn Symes (Psymes), who began to teach him the more technical aspects of music production, and later that year the duo embarked on their first collaboration ‘On Call Nights’, which was signed to D.Max Recordings and reached number 22 in the TrackItDown Trance charts.  The track was aptly named because DJ HARN made the melodies when he was on call at work, and sent the initial midi files to Psymes for the beginning of the collab.  
After the success of On Call Nights, DJ HARN once again teamed up with Psymes for a follow up, and it wasn’t long before ‘St Elevation’ was born.  The track was remixed by BluEye & Matt Skyer, and also signed to D.Max Recordings for release in late 2014.  The package received some excellent support from top names such as Manuel Le Saux, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Aly & Fila and Photographer.     
More recently DJ HARN has also started to collab with classically trained UK musician Simon Minay (Spins).  Their first single, ‘Davey’s Song’ has been signed to Cliffy Burrows Digitized label, with remixes and release pending Mid/Late 2016 to coincide with the death of his good friend Davey, after whom the track is named.  The track has already had massive support from Ronny K on Trance4Nations, and Ahmed Romel on Orchestrance, well before it even goes promo!!  Added to this is a second collab, which was released in June 2015 on D.Max Recordings.  The track was played in successive weeks by Ori Uplift, label owner of Abora Recordings, and was a firm favourite amoungst a large host of top names, including Haig & Raffi, and Amitcek.
A third collab was signed to Trance All Stars uplifting label 'Beyond The Stars Recordings' and released in January 2016.  The track received huge support from a number of DJ's/producers including a play on Darren Porters popular 'Cause & Effect' Radio show.  The track also peaked at number 4 on the Track It Down Trance chart.
The newest collab in the pipeline features a teaming up of talents between the duo, and Psymes & J.Alexander.  The track 'Rays of Elysium' has been released with Beyond the Stars Recordings and has already recieved top promo support from the mighty Sean Tyas on his Degenerate radio show.  
Further collabs and reworks are already happening behind the scenes, but DJ HARN is a very slow producer as he also works full time in a busy hospital as a Diagnostic Radiographer, therefore, finding adequate studio time can sometimes be very challenging.          
In July 2014 DJ HARN moved into a brand new studio, which has already enabled him to be much more creative with his musical talents. 
DJ HARN’s musical inspirations at the moment are Darren Porter, Ian Standerwick and Dreamy.
The future looks bright for DJ HARN!!
