BK
Ben Keen, aka BK, is recognized the world over as the most successful and prolific hard dance producer of all time. With worldwide dance chart hits like "Music Is Moving" and "Revolution", BK has reinvented the genre of hard house and breathed new life into the style. And in addition to having conquered the world of hard house with his production skills, BK is positioned to take over the global DJ scene, ranking since 2001 as one of DJmag's top 50 international DJs. He calls his sound "ever-changing and full of energy,” with innovative infusions of trance and techno that redefine the hard house style. He believes that “the sound of hard house has definitely changed-it's got to,” and whether producing or playing, the sounds that BK creates represent the future of the genre.
Ian M
For eight years in the ‘90s, the Leicester prodigy played a central role in the success of the most important after-hours club in British dance music history, Trade, the most influential club in the annals of hardness. The rewarding residency which followed at the London club’s home base in London gave Ian the challenging task of playing after the lord of the dance Tony de Vit, one which he pulled off successfully week after week. The fruitful relationship with Trade afforded the Godfather of hard house a number of memorable career highlights. These include playing to an audience of 250,000 at the Love Parade in Leeds, teaming up with Danny Tenaglia at Twilo in New York and headlining Dance Valley in Amsterdam alongside Carl Cox. Worldwide demand for his dynamic DJ sets has taken Ian to France, Hong Kong, Ibiza, South Africa, Washington, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Ask any hard house DJ to cite their influences and you can bet that Ian M is near the top of their list, and his pervasive influence shows no sign of waning.
Scott Fo Shaw
