A familiar face on the SW party scene, SHAX makes his HTE debut alongside label mainstay TrickyDJ and together they indulge themselves in the darker side of trance. Fusing ripsaw leads, sledgehammer bass and seductive vocals on this 7 minute dopamine hit, it's as it says on the tin - HARDER!

TrickyDJ & Shax - Harder [HTE Recordings]

After dropping this EP into our demo box last year, Chaos Theory wasn't a name we  were familiar with, but as a label, we love supporting new talent, and embracing these random approaches, especially when the vibes are so strong. 2 solid underground hard trancers are served up here with one intention, to make the floor move! Big vocals, polished production and an arsenal of carefully chosen sounds. Signing these was easy, deciding which track we liked the most certainly wasn't! So we took them both. Please welcome UK rising talent Chaos Theory onto Hard Trance Europe!

Chaos Theory - Intentions  [HTE]

Chaos Theory - Theoretical Sound  [HTE]

Featuring on our recent splatter disc vinyl release, digital DJs can now grab this 2024 remix of one of S.H.O.K.K.'s greatest ever moments. Folie A Deux, the iconic Hard Trance classic gets the rework treatment from fellow Swiss champion Wavetraxx and HTE mainstay Nick The Kid for 2024. With an increased euphoria extension on the existing melody structure, an addition of fresh  and fat acid lines, whilst being completely respectful to the original. We hope you enjoy this exciting revisitation of the Pulse records anthem.

DJ Chuck-E - Live @ Wronguns vs Annapurna, Cubanas, Barry, 10th May 2024

Originally released in 2000 on Drizzly records, we have kindly been granted permission to breathe a new lease of life into this epic underground beast. Crafted by none-other than German legends and hard-hit factory Andreas Kramer & Thomas Pogadl, this subtle but effective melody was heavily championed on the South West UK circuit at the time, by those hungry for those next level European productions. Fast forward to 2024, Nick The Kid opens up his studio to South Coast players Jake Ayres and Dave Scott, and with all being unanimous fans of the original, tread on the air of caution with this update. Expect added haunting vocal fx, energetic riff extensions, retro signature acid hits and a reinforced bed of sound to pay respectful-homage to this undisputed classic.

Blade Attack - Waterloops (Nick The Kid, Jake Ayres & Dave Scott Remix) [HTE]

Inspired by the underground, quite literally, the London Underground. Polish Producer and Victims Of Trance partner Jackob Roenald makes an exciting debut on the label, fusing chunky tech rhythms, steam-train percussion and dark acid techno vibes! We've all been there, heading across London on the district line at 8am with the club still hammering through our minds, and avoiding eye contact at all costs. This absolute rocket audibly sums it all up just perfectly! 'Mind The Gap'.

Jackob Roenald - Mind The Gap  [HTE]

Another amazing year at HTE Weekender! The best weekend for any die hard Hard Trance fan and it's always an honour to grace the decks for you. Here is my set from Friday's mainstage. Lots of exclusives and favourites as always x

Renegade System @ Hard Trance Europe Weekender, Weston - Super - Mare 07 - 06 - 2024

Code 2-DJs Barbara and Andy, have already made a big impact on the label with tough trancers 'Ur Gonna Want Me' and 'Past Memories'. They are back this time employing the ever-rising and angelic voice of Jodie Poye. A vocalist who has already had countless releases on John O'Callaghan's Subculture, and worked with the likes of Craig Connelly, Technikal and Lisa Louder. 'XTC' screams 90s rave nostalgia with it's rising pads, and instantly infectious chorus. Hard Trance? Perhaps not, but since when have we ever followed the Rules anyway at HTE? Probably the catchiest vocal we've heard in a long time, we just had to adopt this summer time uplifter for our red divison. Welcome back Code 2, and a warm welcome to Jodie Poye! 

Release date: 28.06.24

Code 2 - DJs & Jodie Poye - XTC [HTE]

Following on from the realms of darkness on his last HTE offer (alongside Lab4) 'Force 10 Fire'. Londoner Nick Van Kukaj switches lanes expelling seratonin induced melodies, classic swiss vibes and pure energy from his lab of analogue heaven. This took the roof off our last HTE bash at Fabric in London, so if you are looking for a guaranteed mood-lifter in your next set, NVK has you more than covered. Uplifting Hard Trance at its very best!

Jake Nicholls - Mid Year Melodica 2024 - Trance Hardtrance Techno

Godfather’ - ‘Legend’ - ‘International Hero’. All accolades attributed by loving fans Worldwide to the DJ, Producer and scene pioneer known as ‘Slipmatt’. Anyway, on to the former Hard Trance & Old Skool DJ, Chuck-E, who has now ‘retired’ from the dance music scene.

Wales’ premier Hard Trance DJ, Chuck-E, has enjoyed a long illustrious career in the hard dance scene, spanning back 26 years, to 1997. Originally playing Old Skool hardcore & Drum & Bass is his bedroom, progressing on to the Hard Trance sound he is known for today.

His resume contains headline shows in countries including South Korea, Australia, Holland, and Norway, as well as holding many residencies over the years, at events such as Breathe, GBH, Sugar, Trancefusion, The Square, and Panic Room. 

He was one of the most frequently booked DJs at the mighty Bionic events and has played guest slots for virtually every major and well-respected Hard Dance promotor in England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland, with Frantic, Goodgreef, Storm, Ministry of Sound, HTID, Tranzaction, Westfest, Escape into the Park, Back To The Future, Concept, Ripsnorter, North, and Sanctuary Festival, all included on extensive the list.

The triumphant 2005-2012 partnership with Jon the Baptist (coined by UK hard dance kings Frantic as ‘The UK’s number 1 Hard Trance Team) would see them set up the hugely popular ‘Intolerance Recordings’ imprint to showcase the bulk of their studio creations, alongside being signed to the massive ‘Future Sound Corporation’ label in Italy, releasing hits such as ‘Magic’ - ‘A new hope’ and remixing for the legendary Yoji Biomehanika. 

Career accolades include winning the national PYP DJ competition, plus joining Kutski for a special guest feature on BBC Radio 1 and having his ‘Science Fiction’ album release party at the mighty 55,000 strong ‘Defqon1’ festival, run by Q-dance in the Netherlands, in which his track ‘What is reality’ featured on their DVD release.

Chuck-E has never been one to ‘follow the crowd’ - always looking to be original in the way he plays and performs, his energetic showmanship and crowd-pleasing personality combine perfectly with his unique and diverse sets, making him one of the most popular DJs on the circuit. Although known as – and predominantly a Hard Trance DJ (being a huge ambassador of the sound) expect things to be mixed up relentlessly, with the full spectrum of Hard Trance on display, sprinkled with Bootlegs and varied edits from the Hard Techno & Electro, Schranz, Drum & Bass and Hardcore scenes.

With him retiring from DJ’ing, music, and the everyday tasks of the scene 8 years ago, due to tinnitus and ear problems, he has recently returned to the digital turntables, and we are accepting a select number of gigs

"The Hard Trance Revolution has begun..."   Starting with 'Scorpius', Renegade System pretty much took over the Hard Trance scene within 6 months and brought back that true essence of the genre! High demand for his services on every hard trance label worth mentioning and picking up massive support from all the major players from UK to Australia, Europe to USA proved that a new hard trance star was born in 2015.  Coming from a trance background when hard trance was a HUGE part of the trance scene, Thomas felt a strong urge to crossover over into the bigger scene and the support of names such as Paul Van Dyk, Aly & Fila, Indecent Noise, Mark Sherry, MaRLo and even the godfather of Hard Trance Scot Project showed him this was more than possible!  With releases on many pedigree trance imprints including FSOE, Bonzai, Afterdark, Mental Asylum, Outburst, Damaged, his own Hard Trance Revolution imprint plus various compilation cds including Skullduggery and Afterdark, Thomas continues to pioneer and push his Tech and Hard Trance sound.
