And if you’re new to the podcast, a huge hello and welcome to you. So for the past 2 months I haven’t had a guest on the HDHH. Last month I had a break from the podcast to go on holiday to France which was absolutely lush. And July’s session of the HDHH I published my mix from the Friday night at the Tidyland Weekender. If you haven’t yet had a listen, please do go and check that out.So having 2 months off essentially I was really excited to have a chat with this months guest. He’s everyone’s favourite from Bristol, Nick Hayward, also known as Hayz. We talk about Nick’s music production journey including his official remix of Basement Jaxx’s Red Alert. He helped me to translate some Bristolian phrases which I loved as it’s the most friendly accent in my opinion. We also talk about the recent Tidyland Weekender, and snorting ants and woodlice as you do. We had a great laugh so I hope you enjoy it. If you haven’t yet, please do subscribe to or follow the podcast on your favourite platform. If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts, please take a second to give the podcast a star rating.

Clare Marie at the Tidyland Weekender 2023 Hard House Mix
It’s session 29 of the Hard Dance Happy Hour. I’m Clare Marie. Welcome back. And if you’re new to the podcast, a huge hello and welcome to you. Last month I invited Lee Haslam on to the podcast and what a pleasure that was. Lee’s exclusive guest mix was also one of my favourites so far on the Hard Dance Happy Hour. So, if you haven’t checked out last month’s session already, please do.So this month I had decided to use the Tidyland Weekender as an opportunity to catch up with as many of my previous guests as possible. I had a quick catch up with 5 lovely humans before I hit some technical issues.Whilst I can’t use the footage that I did manage to get before the GoPro issues, due to the audio quality, I will be uploading the videos to Facebook and my YouTube channel over the next week so please keep an eye out for those.I had the pleasure of having a chat with Paul Clark, Jason Nawty, Adam Dixon, Jon Hemming and Edd Croft. I did not want to miss a month of the podcast, So instead of a Tidyland Weekender catch up, I took the decision to record my mix from the Weekender and put this out instead. I had the opportunity to play Room 4 on the Friday night at 1am and god was that fun. The feedback I received afterwards literally blew my mind, so thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who stuck out the sweat box to dance to my set.I hope you enjoy it :) 𝗚𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗠𝗜𝗫 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧Eskimo -  ReCycled Technikal & HybridZ - Attention WhoreTom Shock/Kid Dynamo - Set Me FreeAndy Whitby - Imagination (2009 Remix)The LootBeggars - Renegade MasterAndy Whitby & Matt Lee - Higher State Of ConsciousnessThe LootBeggars - Up To No GoodEdison Factor - Cappella - U Got 2 Know (Edison Factor Remix) Dynamic Intervention/Jodie Rose - Dynamite (Jodie Rose Remix)Dark Society – Show Me The Way (Steve O'Brady Remix)Tony De Vit - The Dawn (Dark By Design Remix)N-Trance - Set You Free (Paul Maddox Remix) Cally Gage & Tom Parr - A Little Love, A Little Life Support the showFollow Mehttps://linktr.ee/djclaremarie

Chat with Jampsy and Hard House Guests Mini Mix
Welcome back to the Hard Dance Happy Hour, and session 13 of the podcast,I hope you enjoyed last months 'Happy 4 Hours ' podcast special, where my usual hour format turned to 4 DJ’s and 4 hours of amazing tunes.If you missed it, please do check it out here:  When I first thought about starting my own podcast, I wrote down some particulars that I wanted to aim for. WHY was I doing it? One of my objectives was to chat to up and coming artists, and younger talent of the hard dance scene, DJ’s and producers, and to give them another platform to get their music heard and for people to get to know them a little more personally. It is so important to encourage and support new / up and coming talent, and something that I am really passionate about. So this month, I had the absolute pleasure of talking to one of the nicest and most genuine people I have met in a long time. I met him at Frantic's 24th Birthday at Frantic in the Woods in August and he exuded such a beautiful energy, I knew immediately that I had to get him on the podcast (and have him over for dinner).Definitely one to watch and a really beautiful human, welcome Josh Amps aka Jampsy, to the Hard Dance Happy Hour.𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲, 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲, 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁.𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙  𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙨:https://www.facebook.com/djclaremariehttps://www.instagram.com/djclaremariehttps://www.mixcloud.com/djclaremarie𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙅𝙖𝙢𝙨𝙮 𝙤𝙣 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙨:https://www.soundcloud.com/jampsyhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/357253342455440𝙂𝙐𝙀𝙎𝙏 𝙈𝙄𝙓 𝙏𝙍𝘼𝘾𝙆 𝙇𝙄𝙎𝙏:1.

The Hard Dance Happy 4 Hours with Special Guests
Welcome back to the Hard Dance Happy Hour for my 12th session of the podcast.If you are new to the podcast, hellooooo. And what a month to start listening. Please do hang around. I think you may enjoy it. The format for this month is totally different and a little bit special. The Hard Dance Happy HOUR turns into the Hard Dance ‘HAPPY FOR HOURS’ podcast, as it goes from the standard 1 hour session to a 4 hour special.Back in February 2021 the Hard Dance Happy Hour teamed up with the clever guys at NowhereWorld for a special collaboration, where the podcast and virtual venue on Twitch hooked up. NowhereWorld created a virtual event venue and an avatar of myself. It was pretty damn cool.So this month, it’s not just me playing! I’ve got some of my most favourite people in the world playing alongside me, who are extremely talented DJ’s and producers.Playing, we have Direct Drive, Jason Nawty and Mobi-D and of course me :)With a luscious mix of everything trance, melodic and euphoric riffs, techy, sexy acid lines, pumpin’ hard trance, and the best in upfront banging and uplifting hard house, you will want to put this 4 hour mix in your library for repeat listening.If you are reading this on publishing day, don't forget to come along to the Twitch event where you can hear watch the whole 4-hour event at our very own virtual venue, and each with our own virtual avatar.I am having a bloody good time creating the podcast, doing mixes and chatting with such awesome guests.So, If you like what you hear, you can now support the podcast via the support link below.Support the showFollow Mehttps://linktr.ee/djclaremarie

Chat with Phil Reynolds and Hard Trance Guest Mix
Welcome back to another session of the Hard Dance Happy Hour, and I am chatting with one of my favourite DJ's, Phil Reynolds.Phil is one of my favourite Hard Trance DJ's and producers. From starting early on in his DJ career as original resident at Frantic, Phil played at every major venue and promotion in London and across the country. His UK popularity took him to playing across the globe in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Ibiza to name a few. Phil has worked with some of the best hard dance producers, and his distinctive sound that he is known for with his DJ'ing, is also reflected in his productions. We talk about his journey so far as a DJ, his record Label - Digital Creation, up coming promotions, and that he still likes to hide and jump out on people.Phil has also done us one hell of a producer mini mix, so please hang around after the chat to hear it.Clubs are open again, and it was the best feeling in the world to meet so many of you in person.
