Hi folks,

Thanks for visiting. I have been djing since 2002 and playing in clubs since 2006.  I have recently retired from playing in clubs so the only place you will hear my music will be online.

I love hard dance especially the bounce side of things. I am all about high energy and uplifting tunes so if that's your thing then you are in the right place!

I have played for brands such as Frantic, Tidy, Polysexual, AWsum, Contagious, B2T, Nu Religion, Bounce Factory, We Love Bounce, Dirtbox, Sundissential & Wildchild. Holding residencies at Contagious, Bounce & We Love Bounce.

I have been lucky enough to play at some great venues including The Tidy Weekender, Global Gathering, Gatecrasher, SE One, Koko, Scala, The Sanctuary, Escape, Renaissance Rooms & Hidden.

I made my way into the scene by getting recognition for my hugely popular 'Smile' demos. This combined with various other mixes and producing many popular tracks has planted my name firmly in the hard dance scene. I am the driving force and one half of the mighty Lamin8ers, the 8-bit hard dance sensation! Check out the Lamin8ers soundcloud for more info.

Since retiring I have enjoyed sticking together some trance mixes. This is the stuff I love to go clubbing to. Its only for fun so I hope you enjoy them.

PLEASE leave comments on my tracks or mixes and if you have any questions I will try my up most to answer them!

<br /><br />Official Soundcloud page of DJ & Producer CALLY GAGE - Owner of the HARD, WE LOVE IT HARD & GIRLS LIKE IT HARD.&#13;
&#13;
Host of the GIRLS LIKE IT HARD PODCAST - listen and download new episodes here.&#13;
&#13;
Cally Gage has been gracing us with her presence for almost a decade now and she can only be titled as the ultimate sweetheart of Hard Dance. With her contagious smile, her deep devotion to her fans, a fearsome persona and an undeniable ability to launch herself into anything and everything music related with a wholehearted attitude, it’s hard not to fall in love with her. To watch her perform brings all the best elements of the hard-dance scene together in one delicious package: dedication, skill, talent, flare, finesse and passion.&#13;
&#13;
Some of her achievements include a huge collective of mixed albums, gigs and tours across the world and a mass volume of original tracks which have been released on some of the finest and most respected Hard Dance labels.  Cally has clocked up some major collaborations with many superior names in the scene including Technikal, Andy Whitby, Sam Townend, Gammer, Klubfiller and Energy Syndicate.  She never fails to smash out tracks with classic and thrilling vocals, mind-blowing basslines with her trademark fast and energetic tempo.  She has proved above and beyond, time and again, that she is a force to be reckoned with!&#13;
&#13;
Cally has come a long way from winning a dj competition at the Tidy Weekender back in 2004. Even after all this time, she’s still as ambitious and involved in the scene as ever and the best is yet to come. With a recently launched label co-owned by herself and Andy Whitby entitled ‘Hard’ and a sensational new podcast introducing some fresh new female talent – ‘Girls Like it Hard’, there’s plenty of projects for her to sink her teeth into. Along with a line of merchandise, albums and events in preparation for these exciting new beginnings, she’ll also be focusing on signing new artists and of course spending some much needed time in the studio.&#13;
&#13;
Cally is no longer the new girl on the block. She is, without doubt, a definitive icon in the Hard Dance scene of today.

General Bounce is West Yorkshire based DJ and producer Dave Gray, who has become a prominent figure in UK clubland playing hard dance, bounce and house.

Obsessed with dance music from an early age, Dave has been an active club DJ ever since he turned 18 in 2001, starting on the local club & bar circuit playing everything from house and speed garage to trance and hard dance, before finally settling into the hard dance scene in 2005 with a residency for Shock in Wakefield. He quickly became known for his widely-influenced and versatile DJ sets, combining as many elements as possible from the genres he loves. When Shock ended in 2007 Dave began making regular appearances on the Northern bounce scene, and over the next 4 years Dave was privileged to play at venues such as Wigan Pier and Doncaster Warehouse. Hard dance remained a passion of his during this time, and in 2007 he came third in the Parlez Vous DJ Competition.

Things came to a head in 2010 when he was picked up by the Cheeky Tracks brand as a resident DJ and producer. Dave held a residency in the Cheeky Tracks room at Rave On in Leeds for the next 2 years, and since then he has become a regular face behind the decks at hard dance and bounce events nationwide, performing at prestigious events and venues including the Tidy Weekender, BTID, Frantic, Storm, Rejuvenation and many more.

Since taking his first steps as a producer in 2006, Dave has had several solo and collaborative releases, collaborating with both established producers and new artists on the scene, co-producing some of his collaborators' first big hits and even being played on BBC Radio 1. To date Dave has produced over 50 tracks which been supported by some of the biggest names in hard dance, such as Hannah Laing, Kutski, BK, Rob Tissera, Technikal, Andy Whitby, Anne Savage, Amber D and Lisa Pin Up. His collaboration with fellow hard house producer Rick James “Ibuleve” was featured on Hannah Laing's exclusive DJ mix for Spotify in 2022, and his last solo release “House Trafficking” topped the Toolbox Digital Shop store chart for over a week. He has also collaborated on a UK hard trance track with his idol Rob Tissera, called “Get Up Stand Up”.

Dave is an ardent believer in playing all genres of dance music, exposing his audience to new sounds and making his sets as varied as possible. Through doing this he has developed a trademark sound of vocal, uplifting rave music that's both tough and fun. Dave's passion for all genres of music runs deep, and so does his collection. This earned him a residency at Void in Manchester's gay village - an afterhours venue where he regularly played 3 - 4 hour sets of upfront funky and vocal house, through to the lighter side of hard dance. Dave was a resident for the whole 6 years of the club’s lifetime, and played the final set there on his birthday in 2020, when Void closed its doors for good. He continues to spend most weekends DJing for various events nationwide, and since 2021 he has played annually at the Unity In The Sun festival in Corfu. He also hosts a monthly podcast showcasing his label's releases as well his versatility as a DJ. 

In 2012 Dave went from being a Cheeky Tracks artist to co-owner of the label, and took full ownership of the brand in 2015. Under his ownership, he has established the label as one of the biggest selling independent labels in the hard house scene, consistently appearing in the top 10 across several download stores. 12 Cheeky Tracks releases were rated Hard Dance Tune Of The Month in Mixmag from 2014 to its final print edition in 2020.

Over 22 years after his DJ career began, Dave is showing no sign of slowing down and continues to go from strength to strength.  Whatever path Dave's career takes, you can be sure he will continue to do play music the way he believes it should be.... happy, uplifting and stomping!

"Dave is a fantastic DJ - easy to say he's one of the best. He's a real pleasure to work with" - Rob Tissera

Originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland, but i decided that England was where the party was at. Now, like a fucking yoyo, I’m back in the motherland. Just gotta catch flights most of my DJ gigs now. I’m also a videographer/photographer for events and festivals. Filming for some of the biggest names and brands. I just love being on that stage in front of thousands of clubbers, whether I’m behind the camera, or behind the decks. I love it all! ❤️

I’m Hard House, Hard Trance & Bounce DJ mainly, but I’m working on branching out into commercial trance, house, techno and any other genre that I get opportunities to experiment with. I’m the Co-Owner & Promoter at Bring The Bounce Back based in the midlands also. Graphic Designer mainly in the hard dance scene too. Long story short, if it’s music related, I’m all over it! ✅
