Hailing from Lower Hutt, New Zealand, Matt Adam is a dynamic force with a musical journey that spans continents and countless genres, captivating crowds with an arsenal of sounds from the freshest beats to those timeless anthems. 

While his sonic explorations are vast, Matt is particularly celebrated as one of the most influential hard house DJs to emerge from New Zealand in recent years, consistently delivering electrifying energy to dance floors.

From renowned NZ events like AUM NYE (showcasing his broader electronic palette), London Hardhouse Reunion, Fevah/Fahrenheit, and Meltdown to high-octane performances across the globe at events like Xstatic (Ibiza), Twist, Redliners (London), Bounce Factory, Shine (Birmingham), Rehab (Rarotonga), Beatwave, Melbourne HH Collective, Amped (Australia), and the unique vibes of Encoded and Filthface at Unity In The Sun (Greece), Matt's versatility and power behind the decks are undeniable.

Beyond his captivating performances, Matt is deeply embedded in dance music culture as a dedicated resident and co-promoter for influential brands such as the Vinyl Warriors OZ/NZ tour, Crank, Disturbed Nation, Meltdown Records, and online platforms like Twitch DJs, Atomic, TTLF, and Lockdown Legends.

Adding another significant layer to his artistry, Matt is also a dedicated producer with a self-produced album forthcoming in 2025, further expanding his impact on the electronic music landscape and adding to an impressive catalogue of releases already under his belt.

Aaron James is a household name in the world of Hard House. He is a Flex FM artist and has played all over the UK and is a regular favourite with some of the scenes' most established promotions, some of which have taken him overseas to places such as Ibiza, Kavos, Australia & New Zealand, whilst holding his residencies in the UK.

His career started within the Brixton underground circuit in 2007, and quickly acquired residencies for multiple promotions in the infamous but now closed Club 414. Off the back of these residencies he then started to get bookings further afield at promotions such as Frantic, Glow Ball & Twist which saw him journey beyond the underground Brixton & Vauxhall circuit, and lead him to playing the closing set of Judgement Sundays in Eden’s main room in Ibiza at the age of 18.

Being a massive vinyl junkie, Aaron is renowned for his abilities on the wheels of steel, even more so for some of his vinyl mixes (check out his soundcloud). 

He has had a plethora of releases on all of the industry’s top flight labels since he burst into the charts in 2013 including his own album (Toolbox Toolkit 19). He is now label manager of Toolbox Hammerheads, and has been producing under various different aliases over the last decade, including Forbidden Friends, Delinquents, JNR and BabzookaZ.

With DJ Skol, he has hosted the weekly Hard House Sunday Sessions show on Flex FM; which is London’s only legal Hard House dedicated radio show at 101.4 on the dial, with accredited listeners worldwide reaching as far as Japan, South Africa, United States and their down under crew in Australia & New Zealand. Throughout the years they have earned their personal sponsorship from Toolbox Digital Shop, the main music distributor within the Hard House scene, where they alternate a featured chart countdown of the best selling tracks from the preceding month/year within their shows on the airwaves.

Having finished his degree in sound engineering & music production at Point Blank, he is now focussing on his newest project… The Aaron James USB!!! Complete with his back catalogue of tracks and entire ‘mixography’, including all of his unreleased tunes and mixes, but also with fresh unheard material, where he puts into practice all that he has learnt in his degree and begins his journey engineering his own music.

After discovering the hard house scene in London from 1999-2001, I returned to Sydney and quickly embraced DJ'ing at local hard dance events. Life events put my passion on hold until Covid hit and The Lockdown Legends Facebook group sparked my love for music again. Now, my goal is simple: to share and enjoy hard house, hard trance, and house music with fellow enthusiasts, without any grand ambitions for world DJ domination.

After a long 10 years off the scene I have decided to start mixing and sharing music again.  Hope you all enjoy what I manage to come up with


for those who remember or who are interested in my attempt at a career way back when...
