cheers for A GREAT night as always xxx

Well this was the first time we have been out since Riot and we nearly didn't come but I'm so glad we did make it as it's put the hard house vibe back in my soul. It has got to be up there with one of the best HHA's I've been to and I've done most of them.

The production was insane... Lights, lasers and the massive screens were an awesome touch and the sound was crystal clear just how it should be and the music it was a good mix across all the rooms. Didn't really pay to much attention to the line up and who was playing but I do know I was in for pick up and rise who stormed it and also LED which is a first as I'm not a fan of hardstyle, also got the end of kutski who was tearing up the dance floor just a we arrived so a good way to start the night.

I think really it's us that should be thanking you for a really good time as decent hard house events are far and few between.

Cheers Guys look forward to the next one ;O)

Chloe, Last night was amazing, It rocked as always. It was good to see people that i havent seen for ages. so thank you for another wicked Frantic event.

The stage shows put on by Twisted Elements were fantastic, i was watching speachless. And the Contagious girls looked fantastic and really rocked the main room with Frisky.

Double G & Beanies set was fantastic, everytime i wanted to leave the room i would hear a tune that would just make me want to stay. Well done guys xxx The best set in the main room was Kutski's, he set was fantastic.

Twisted Bliss cant wiat for NYE.

Wicked as usual but I ruined it by getting far far far too drunk!



Whoops!

first night out since ive had the baby, was a wicked night , Thank you Frantic xxx

Hard House Academy was amazing!! It was only my second one, and first time playing, but there aren't many parties like it! Great work Frantic, and big thanks for all the hard work Will, Gordy, and Chloe put into it xX

The sound in the filth foyer was sooo good, it was a real pleasure to play on that system. The atmosphere in that room really is something else.

Great to see so many people in really creative and inventive costumes. There were some seriously creepy clowns lurking about!

I'm a bit sad now that it's all over :(

Why the fuck is this event called "Hard House" Academy?

I appreciate that Frantic are backing Hardstyle in a big way and granted a few of the Hardstyle acts were amazing. But having the main room as a predominantly Hardstyle line up seems just a little more than misleading, the foyers music was off the hook and very over packed at some points.

Adam M played an absolutely blinding set!!!

Twisted Entertainment have some really talented dancers, genuinely very impressed with their performances and the girls were brilliant as usual.

It was my first time at HHA and had a superb night good work to all involved, obviously Frantic have made a conscious decision to move towards Hardstyle dominated nights I just hope that you uphold the fundamental description of an event name and put all those headline Hard House acts in the main room, or just call it HA.

Hard Academy sounds like like some sort of rough mans fight club though. or a porn society

hahaha

There's the theme for the next one right there Chloe.

yeah 2 hours in the q was an absolute joke! not impressed! missed cally's set :-(

What an awesome night!

Highlights:

ACTIVATOR!!!!!! Absolutely blinding set!
Cally and Juice really did rock the place!
Kutski playing gabber on the main stage!!!
The production on the main stage!


Downers:

D4rk's set being stopped 30 mins early! Especially when there was at least 20 people in that room who came along to support him and had to wait til the end to see him play, only for him to get shut down! Poor!


Overall a wicked night! Congrats to all involved!

Couldn't agree more. Phil Reynolds was the only set that did it for me in the main room, and I've got to say his set was incredible for me...even though he was playing hard trance in the 'Hard House' Academy main room...

Marks for the production though. Slightly more effort put in that at Frantic 12!

Nice show...but I really do prefer having a few bevies etc with me mates in the countryside!...and then I get to play the tunes. So easy these days with the internet/computers. Not being mealy mouthed, as I said..a good show...but well, weirdo fucking bouncers, weirdo fucking babylon vibe. Bullshit basically. You're full of shite Brixton Acedamy, and if it was up to me every single fucking bouncer would be fired and some sound hippy type people would be hired instead. Basically you havn't got a fucking clue have you? - this is all so far from the original vibe that its pathetic. Nonsense. Piss off. Disprespectful egoising creeps. Now next time, frantic or what ever the fuck you're called, GET A FUCKING VENUE THAT HAS A FUCKING SMOKING AREA, OR ELSE ALLOWS CANNABIS SMOKING INSIDE. I wont say say which venue, but there are some in London that are cool. SORT IT FUCKING WELL OUT WEIRDOS. Now listen. The DJ is irrelevent especially in these days of the internet, hide the DJ away, what is important is you/us, the People. Not the fucking DJ. Original rave was an experimental acid test. This is B/S. (basically). Sorry - a few home truths. Enough. Now DJ Scar, or ewhatever you call yourself, now I emailed you about a benefit for the LCA. I WOULD FUCKING WELL APPRECIATE SOME COMMUNICATION EGOISING IDIOT. Now, you have your orders, GET ON THE FUKCING CASE WOMAN. Honestly, just where the fuck are you people at? In love with yourselves and money I would say.

Come on, the BIG FUCKING EGO MONSTER DJ thing is nonsense - may as well live stream the internet or something...and put MUCH more effort into the 'happening'..but of course thats the rub - this sort of event is very commercial, rather than a happening party thing. You're full of shit Brixton Acedamy, I'm minded to come round and pixy you because you're Bullshit brixton acedamy. You are boring wank. Piss off. Come on. Smoke machine. Stobe. Us. the people. Not a bunch of silly pricks on the stage. SORT IT OUT. Listen Frantic, it was ok as a show, but b/s as a *happening*. Like raindance really - ego wank compared to old school peace convoy happenings...which is probably why the regime banned them. Collective anarchist consiousness. Very dangerous to the masons' manor.

Blessings

..and all those folks queuing at the stage door - I han't realised that the recession was so bad - looking like Thatchers britain once again!

Never again though - getting way way too old for this nonsense I think!

..come on. get serious, this is B/S compared to the outdoor convoy raves...(that don't happen as such anymore, but will gain, trust me).

..in fact this website is B/S also! Ego wank, especially the chat. DJ ego wank. Fuck off.

Cheers pal, glad you enjoyed the set :-)


Thankyou every1 @ Frantic HQ for getting Hi Oktane involved. It was such s great atmosphere all night and every DJ played a great set.
