Neil Bamford has been a name featured in UK trance culture for a decade. Having been involved with some of the most recognisable UK brands and with his productions supported by the likes of Armin van Buuren, Aly & Fila, Solarstone and the other artists that make up the senior fraternity of trance. After a few years away from producing, Neil has returned in fine fashion with with two two tracks being featured on 2018’s In Search Of Sunrise 14 and the Pure Trance 7 Compilation.

Neil’s love for music has been ever present since before his age met double digits, and turned his attention to trance music around the age of 16. Although he tries to champion artists starting out on their journey, he has studied the genre’s history and believes it’s in a much better place now then it ever has been. His first initial releases were together with Med (Chris Medlock) on labels such as Abora (‘One’), Infrasonic (‘Stolen’ and ‘Last Stand’) and Perceptive (‘Light Up’) of which were supported on ASOT several times. With this success in their productions, Neil and Med went on to be heavily involved in UK super brand Digital Society landing them a residency with the brand. After a few years of gigging up and down the country, Neil and Med went their separate ways with Neil’s hunger still burning bright.

Whilst keeping his ear low to the ground, Neil locked himself away and learnt his trade with the sole purpose of a return to the trance scene. His highest solo accolade came in the from of ‘There Are There’ which was released on Solarstone’s Pure Trance label. This track was included on the re-ignition of ISOS 14 and was also featured in the Mixmag Top 100 Tracks of 2018 across all genres. Now with the bar set high he is developing his production to reflect the sound he loves to hear in a club and create.

Hiddenagenda are the Sheffield based trance duo behind some of the most uplifting, euphoric, and powerful trance & progressive sets you will have heard in recent years!

They met in early 2005 and shortly after Hiddenagenda were born. Although relatively young, they both possessed a wealth of knowledge and talent, which only strengthened as the pair joined forces. Their individual styles benefit hugely from each other and their combined knowledge of tune selection, their immaculate mixing ability and their extensive experience of the clubbing scene makes them one of the strongest duos about.

Both keen clubbers from an early age, and part of Crashers loyal following, they have seen and learnt exactly how to get the most out of a crowd. Frequenting the countries dance floors over the years has armed them with experience and knowledge that allows them to create their own energetic and electric atmosphere every time.

They found musical inspiration originally from the likes of Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Matt Hardwick, Markus Schulz and Jon O’Bir to name a few, and over time have used this to create their own cutting-edge sound that continues to destroy the dance floors around the country. Their style is driven by big basslines and uplifting melodies with tech-influences, ranging from progressive warm-ups to their now legendary big room peak time sets. With a genuine enthusiasm for the music driving their performances and keeping the energy on the dance floor at a constant high, they will take you on a musical journey that will leave you gagging for more. 

Having made their name at Gatecrasher's infamous Howard pre-parties back in 2005/06 and with multiple appearances for the Sheffield based trance night OTR (Off the Rails), this pair really exploded onto the scene becoming firm favourites with many clubbers and gaining a mass of followers around the North of England. On the back of this success OTR snapped up the duo as residents for their return to the scene in late 2009, a night they still run successfully to this day. 

The duo have had a string of high-profile gigs; the highlights being a competition win of a set at the prestigious Trance Awards hosted by Trackitdown at Ministry of Sound, numerous bookings for Nu-Passion, Passion’s UK Indoor Festival, Magna Phase II at the huge Magna arena, Gareth Emery’s very own Northern Lights Concert, 2 appearances on Goodgreef’s Ibiza Boat Party as well as Goodgreef UK bookings, multiple appearances at Leeds based Digital Society, the Garuda 3rd Anniversary and a number of bookings at Birmingham’s Godskitchen, most notably a main room debut at SixFiveTwelve.

After a brief hiatus the pair landed back with a bang in 2022 warming up the Trancecoda Paul van Dyk event in Sheffield, a gig which marked the start of an exciting new chapter in their career to date. 

Coming armed with some of the most up-front tunes, some forgotten classics, and the ability to create an atmosphere like few others, be ready for a night to remember!
