Lisa Pin Up has held her place as a headline DJ now for over 16 years. It's not surprising that she's finally taken a five month break away from the scene to finally become a mum! Raring to get back to the action and take back her place as the queen of bounce, we caught up with Lisa to see how she's been finding things and find out just what a DJ does with all that time on their hands.

On Saturday 15th October 2011 join us at Hard House Heaven to celebrate everything Hard House with your favourite artists and brands at the award winning Hidden Nightclub in Vauxhall. JP & Jukesy talk to Gordy from Frantic about the ideas behind one of the most exciting and pioneering Hard House events to hit London in recent years – Hard House Heaven.

Amadeus Mozart has always been at the forefront of the Tidy brand. When you think of Tidy, you think of the Tidy Boys and their sets that could only be described as magical for the clever blend of fun (sometimes leading to his bum making an appearance), entertainment and the best in hard edged dance music. The weekender's that were attached to the boys seemed, a few months ago, to be nothing but a distant dream of a hedonistic and excitable club scene that once was.
