Two future stars of the UK club scene arrive on Cheeky with what is easily our biggest release of the summer! Healy has rapidly made a name for herself as one of hard dance's future heroes, with repeat bookings at massive festivals such as Creamfields, Lost Minds and The Gathering just a few short years after starting out in her home town of Hull. In the last year she's teamed up with fellow Hull artist Leon 'Leroy' Green to put their own fun and bouncy Euro-flavoured spin on the current UK hard dance sound, and their Cheeky debut 'Get Xstatic' has become one of our most requested releases of the 2025 following heavy support from Panteros666, Amber D, DJ Brisk, General Bounce and loads more. Expect to hear this smashing the big stages at festivals across Europe in the coming months!

Healy X Leroy - Get Xstatic

It's been a long time since we've had a new release from Drake Liddell on Cheeky Tracks, but he's back in big style in time for the summer with this very Cheeky vocal bounce number! 'Love At First Sight' is a cover of a classic tune from one of the queens of pop music, given a full on pumping rework for the clubs with plenty of big pianos and some rolling bass action. Expect this to go down a treat with the Northern bounce crowds over the next few months!

Love At First Sight

Drake Liddell - Love At First Sight

A mix I've been sitting on for a while, waiting for the final pieces to fall into place! Funk, Cheese and Hard House. A follow up to one I did years ago - starting with some funky beats, a fair bit of cheese in the middle and slightly solid at the end. 136 -144bpm.

Cardboard Box Little Fish 1

Decided to record my set from last week's Lost Weekend Festival in Nottingham since a few of you were asking for it! Unfortunately I didn't get to play all the tunes I was hoping to play since we had a snazzy new XDJ AZ on our stage which doesn't work with the old versions of Rekordbox, so I couldn't load my playlists... hence a few tunes I've played to absolute death on this set. Still a few different ones I've not played out yet though and people seemed to enjoy it on the day 😀

Hope you guys enjoy... next gig in the diary is Rejuvenation All Dayer in Leeds on Saturday 9th August where you can expect to hear me NOT play some of these tracks 😂

If anyone would like to book me for their events in future then email my good friend Leon Wood at leon@thehardfiles.co.uk !

NOEL NASTY - PACKING A PUNCH, VOL. 1 [HARD HOUSE]

SEPTEMBER 2003 - UK HARD HOUSE NRG MIX!!

We are stepping into the wayback machine!  This the 4th promo mix I put out and is definitely my favourite of those old mixes before my styles changed into more core house styles!

Back when I was a baby raver, I went from listening to trance and progressive house to learning how to DJ and within a few years I was spinning face melting UK hard house and NRG!

Not for the faint of heart, this one is definitely close to my heart!  So many of these tracks never made it to digital release as the technology changed to digital and most of these records were jacked from my car one night in Tacoma, never to be played again by me.

Enjoy!  And if this mix isn't your speed, please check out the rest of my modern mixes, because they will be the droids you're looking for.

Now residing in London, Ben Shelton has been absolutely destroying dance floors on the West Coast of the US since 2001. As a lead producer for Sound Ethic and Subsidize, these affiliations have allowed him to play along side such master producers as Christian Martin, Wood Holly, Hatiras and Max Graham to name a few, and his live sets have been featured on C89.5’s the Vortex, Seattle’s top live radio DJ showcase. In the last 15 years, Seattle’s crowds have heard a great mixture of musical styles across house and tech house from his repertoire. Having played gigs all over Seattle, Portland and the Pacific Northwest, at Burning Man, in Miami at WMC, in Las Vegas at the Palms and at the legendary Nikki Beach Club in Cabo San Lucas, Ben has the ability to properly move a crowd. Whether rocking the finest night clubs, underground parties, beautiful terraces or outdoor weekenders, you will always find Ben spinning filthy bass lines and bright melodies that obliterate dance centric crowds.

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.

The best Hard House DJ you've probably never heard of 😂 
I started mixing in 2002 whilst living in London. This led to gigs at The Captain Cook, Warp, as a Resident at Spin (Club 414) and Heat (Fridge) and Hard House Academy (KOKO). I left it all to return to Australia for a quiet life but..........

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
