Oi Oi! So, have been playing in the clubs around the south and southwest for around 17 years now, starting out back in the day with hardhouse which still remains my strongest passion but reverting from time to time to some suped up funky/disco house. featured a few times on hhuk radio and always looking for good underground events to play at. you really can not beat the crowd going wild and realizing its 90% because of what you are playing and 10% because of how you are playing it. The southwest without a doubt in my mind has some of the maddest clubbers in the country Torquay probably topping them all followed by Plymouth closely! hope you lot enjoy the mixes i upload and interact as much as you like all suggestions welcomed, Keep it Rokin a Tidy Bang peeps! enjoy and will update this as often as i can.

Absolutely love Hardhouse and NRG and enjoy mixing it even more! 

Music influences are Dynamic Intervention, Baby Doc, Captain Tinrib, Simon Eve, RR Fierce, Pablo Gargano, Justin Bourne, Defective Audio, Cupra and Adam M

My favourite Labels are Vicious Circle, Tinrib, Tripoli Trax, DIP, HardTrax, Kaktai, Prolekult and Slingshot

Chris's love for dance music all started at the age of 18, having a brother who is a few years older, gave him the opportunity to go out with him and experience some amazing club nights and DJ's that rocked a packed dance floor on a regular basis, it was moments like these that gave him the ambition to become a Dj.

Chris Blade has been a DJ since 1994, in that time he has travelled all over the world to some of the best club nights and dance events imaginable, so he knows first hand what is expected to produce a memorable night on the dance floor!

His career started out in Torquay at the age of 20, playing out on a student night every week at one of the popular bars, Chris soon had a small fan base which helped him secure regular warm up sets at the best night clubs in Torquay, his natural ability behind the decks and the way he worked the crowd with his energetic sets, soon gave him the break he was waiting for. The famous Monastery night club and the legendary Claire's (Full Tilt) both offered him Resident DJ.

It was at this time where he had the privilege to play with some of the best DJ's in the industry on a regular basis, Judge Jules, Lisa Pin-Up, Lisa Lashes, BK, Steve Thomas, John oo Fleming, Graham Gold to name a few and he certainly lived up to the challenge. Another Residency at Pilgrimage in Plymouth and other club nights at Dance Academy (Plymouth), Fish Tank (Portsmouth), Underground (Sheffield) and many more around the UK.

As one of the four founders of Future Sound, which was a very successful promotion and DJ agency, he was a key player in all of the Future Sound nights that were held across the country, but one that really sticks in his mind was at the Mezzanine in Wolverhampton, which was voted the No.1 club in the country at the time, after this very successful night, this also gave him the opportunity to DJ at the Mezzanine sunset cafe in Ibiza, which was located near the famous cafe Mambo.

Over the years his music genre has varied through garage, house, funky house, tech house, electro, tech trance, progressive, uplifting trance, hard trance, hard house, Nu NRG and even the odd bit of drum n bass, what ever the occasion he uses his technical ability with all types of equipment, whether it's spinning vinyl on the legendary Technics, CD's on the ground breaking Pioneers or using the latest digital equipment in Traktor, his DJ sets are always energetic, he reads the crowd, always plays for the crowd and he appreciates how fortunate he is to be a DJ.
