Fun Facts:
This is an art rock/hard rock song in A minor.
There is a break where the chords are Dmaj7 and Fmaj7.
Hard Times was part of the set of Wud and they would use it to close their set.
It is the second part of Flashback, which had three parts.
Richard helped with a few of the later lyrics and the bass part was influenced by what Marc used to play.
There was a drummer who couldn't understand the beat of this song and sat looking embarrased and uncomfortable on his drumstool until the end.
He was sacked after the show.

@hardtimesrecordsuk welcomes Leeds legend Paul Woolford - AKA @specialrequest - to reimagine one of house music’s most cherished anthems, Karen Pollard’s ‘Reach Out To Me'.

“‘Reach Out To Me’ has always been one of my favourite US garage records, so when the opportunity to rework it came up one hazy summer evening last year, I knew it had to be done,” he explains.

Mix of the Week #591: Universal Cave - Soft Rock For Hard Times Vol. 9

As followers of Christ, we are only alone when we make ourselves alone.  Jesus has overcome for us... In Christ we are children of God.  We belong to a huge family of faith.  We have a family that will walk this journey with us... to help us carry our burdens when we are weak.  You are Never Alone!

SOTV Message Fourth Sunday After Pentecost C - "Never Alone" - Galatians 6:1-2 - 7/6/25

A perfect place to chill on a snowy mountain and enjoy a few cold drinks if you got the rings.

Wetzi is a 28 year old DJ from Germany.
Starting from House, his boundaries increasingly blur towards Techno, with an exciting mix of Trance and Drum & Bass elements. This diversity is also reflected in his sets, which are embellished with custom-produced mashups. Performances at Hessentag 2017, World Club Dome Pool Sessions 2021, and Parookaville 2023 and 2024 stand as personal highlights.

all i ask is if you like my song just do exactly that show me how i did thank you

Welcome fellow SLEAZOIDS!!! Come along as hosts Josh Lewis and Jamie Miller (and, occasionally, guests) go down the rabbit hole of 20th century genre fare from the most influential canon classics to the the trashiest exploitation films we can get our hands on. Each week is a double feature—grindhouse style—where we discuss two films loosely related by subject, genre, actor, filmmaker or franchise and at the end of each episode, along with our HONORARY SLEAZOIDS (click on over to our patreon to become one), we decide on ratings and rankings for each film that's covered. Join us as together we work to uncover the best genre films of 20th century.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.

Owner of Hard Times Events.

Born and raised in the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare, England, UK.

After spending his youth listening to rave music via stolen tapes from his older brother (you've all done it hehe) and attending his first rave whilst still sitting his exams (GBH  vs. Fusion @ The Depot) DJing was something Mark had his heart set on doing. 

Hex first graced the decks at a young 17 years old following his love for UK Hardcore. Gaining residencies and regular bookings in his home town of Weston-super-Mare for the likes of Q-Bic, T4 On The Beach and all the local events, this was to be his platform which would launch him to the world of rave and beyond for many years to come. 

Known for his party anytime attitude both on and off the decks, his energetic, freestyle, multi genre sets accompanied by his recognised skills as a scratch DJ, live mash-ups, and his antics behind the decks, Hex is guaranteed to give you full aural satisfaction.

Regularly playing in all 4 corners of the UK and having made himself a fixed name in the underground scene, Hex has earned himself b2b bookings with the likes of DJ Sy and Mark EG, residencies at the mighty Bodstock and Uplode Festivals and often frequenting various events throughout the UK, and has worked alongside most headline artists in the game both as a DJ and as a promoter with his Hard Times brand which is still going and is known to be one of the BEST events in the South West for our soundsytems & lineups
