Rude Awakening is a Cardiff based Hard Dance promotion run by DJ's Estee and Random. Compromising many different styles of dance music, they have become a hit in Wales and have won a place in Hard Trancelation regulars hearts with their madcap antics and loyal following.

Estee and Random are no strangers to the Weymouth hotspot, with several visits not only with Hard Trancelation, but plays at Firesky and Trashed respectively. Estee rocked the place and played the set of the night back in December at Trashed and Random dropped by in April for a hardcore set downstairs at Firesky. Rude Awakening resident Just Another DJ also visited us back in April when the two promotions went face-to-face for the first time.

Round two of the HT / RA collaboration sees some new faces grace the Harry's decks in the form of female DJ's Lanie and DJane, Lanie will be going back-to-back with Estee for what we have dubbed as our 'Girl Power Hour'. Whilst DJane joins Random for the last set in a Hardcore showdown. Also joining us for the first time is Hard Trance DJ Eratik who will be going back-to-back with Just Another DJ.

Comments from The Syndicate after the 21st Oct...

"Also providing entertainment on the night was Estee, who, in our opinion is the best female DJ in Wales at the moment. Estee has been a Gatecrasher resident for Wales and The West for the last year and proved that she can cross-over to compliment any DJ she is up against. She brought a firm, loyal following with her and she is definately one to watch for the future."
