happy hardcore

DJ Seduction (AKA John Kalkan) started his career in 1989, DJing at events such as The Dungeons and Crowland Road, and on the pirate station Sunrise FM. In 1991 he was signed to ffrr and released Hardcore Heaven which stayed on the UK charts for several weeks. DJ Seduction then started one of the most successful happy hardcore labels of all time, Impact Records, and was also heavily involved in setting up the Hardcore Heaven and United Dance events. His recent projects include collaborations with CLSM, the Maximum Impact record label and Uproar events.

DJ Slam is Declan Smith. Larger than life Declan began DJ'ing in 1992. A year later, he became resident at United Dance playing the Hardcore scene's toughest Dancefloor killer anthems, alongside those like Slipmatt and Vibes as well as owning Vinyl Rhythm record shop in Chelmsford, Essex which he set up in '93. In 1994, he started to collect studio equipment, and through watching other producers, such as Ruff Driverz' Bradley Carter, he slowly taught himself how to use his new toys.

There is more than one artist named Circuits: 1. A hardcore band from Melbourne, Australia. 2.Brought together in the summer of 2006, Circuits are Ben, Nick, Nick Jnr and Simon. This London four piece’s frantic, twitching, spiky guitar pop looks to the new wave sound of the late 70s and combines it with a distinctly modern twist to create something special. Citing The Police, Elvis Costello and Paul Simon as their major influences, Circuits claim to bring new and different proposition in their music.
