Growing from strength-to-strength, we only have the crowd to thank for such a successful year that has seen hardcore legends grace our shores - DJ’s Storm, Weaver, Slipmatt and Luna-C…. and to top it off for our birthday celebration we have one of hardcore’s nu-skool pioneers – CLSM!!!!!!!!!
//CLSM & JON DOE “LIVE” [UK]
CLSM? The name was chosen by a strange force which nobody can quite understand. Founded by Colin Meon, CLSM takes uplifting riffs, soaring vocals, grimey basslines and savage breakbeats and smashes them all together! The result: unforgettable tunes like Free Your Mind, Transmission to Mars and Drifting Away. Along with countless remixes and collaborations with friends like Cube::Hard, Billy “Daniel” Bunter & Sharkey, CLSM has firmly claimed their stake in the UK hardcore scene. On the hard dance tip also known as Jon Doe, owning the imfamous Honey Pot Recordings and D-Series labels has made Jon Doe a household name in the hard dance scene.
CLSM has pioneered the hardcore scene, campaigning Radio One to play kick-drum-lead tracks over 140BPM with their tune “John Peel Is Not Enough”. And recently speaking-out against labels jumping on the bandwagon in the UK rinsing money out of the hardcore scene with shite music!
CLSM’s performances are anything but normal, with dancers like “Ned” and “Jimmy Goat” what more could you ask for? And don’t forget to say happy birthday to him…. it’s his 30th birthday on the night!

//STU CHAPMAN [UK]
Stu's been into hardcore since 1991 and never really grew out of it! Having DJ'd oldskool hardcore and house in early nineties, and DnB in the mid to late nineties, Stu got bored of it all and took a break from music altogether for a few years. After playing an oldskool hardcore set while touring Australia his passion was renewed and he returned to his roots - Hardcore! He setup hardcore breakz labels ‘Enormous Mouse’ with DJ Nee and quickly became a key player in the underground hardcore breakz scene. He has since had various collaborations and releases on Hardcore Projektz, Repeat Offender and Mert Wax labels.
Come check out the sounds of hardcore breakz, taking the oldskool ’92 hardcore vibe and giving it the 2007 production treatment!
