This article is about BIG Halloween Ball 2007 @ The Junction in Cambridge (UK), Sat 03 Nov 2007

Darren Styles joins us for a Hardcore Halloween at the BIG Halloween Ball this Saturday at the Junction Cambridge, we found a little bit about him.....the Hardcore Awards best DJ winner himself!!!!

In 1992, during a wintry February night out in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, Darren had his first "hands on" experience of the then underground rave scene - the venue being none other than the un-forgettable "Oscars Nightclub" situated on Clacton Pier. Darren has never looked back...

In 1993 along with friend Paul Hobbs aka Dj Force, Darren signed to legendary Hardcore label, Kniteforce records...Artist name 'Force + Evolution'. Many of these releases were championed by the mighty Carl Cox! Soon after the pair were producing for DJ Slipmatt's 'Universal' label... Artist name 'Sense of Summer'.

By 1996 Darren and Paul, artist names 'FORCE + STYLES', were DJ'ing every weekend up and down the UK, touring Australia, The United States, Canada and Ibiza on a regular basis, whilst holding down residencies (which he still has) at 'Slammin Vinyl', 'Helter Skelter', and 'United Dance', to name just a few. Due to the ever increasing demand for their original work combined with the sheer speed the two partners in crime produced their music, they started their own record label offering themselves a portal to create and distribute their work. This portal held no boundaries, and gave the pair infinite musical freedom - UK Dance was born. UK Dance went on to host a catalogue of big selling tracks…….Such as 'Pretty green eyes', 'Feelin Fine' and 'Heart of Gold' to name but a few!

Darren alongside Mark Breeze have also written a number of trance-based tracks together, productions which were signed to the UK's biggest Hard Dance label 'Nukleuz'...

To echo a quote from 'Nukleuz' themselves:

"Darren's music is unique; a mixture of tough German beats and full-on euphoric hard trance riffs that combine to create an instant explosion on the dance floor. Darren has recently brought the house down with his legendary remix of the classic trance track 'Silence' by Taiko and Vinylgroover and the Red Hed's 'Everlasting' that has seen a-list DJ's from around the world beating down his door in search of exclusive tracks to play in clubs and on the radio.

and he join us for some Halloween Frolics this Saturday!!!!
