Our fourth artist release for our 15th Anniversary event.

We welcome back - Re:Tox'D 🔥

The Re:Tox'D journey started over 10 years ago when Paul & Steve decided to join forces and bring their love for Hard Dance and Hardstyle together.

Over the years they have played at some of the UK's biggest brands, with regular appearances at prestigious events such as Bionic, Firewall and Bodstock.
Since then they have crafted their sound into what it is today - Tough, fast paced, Hard Dance music with heaps of energy and passion in every set they play.

Our third artist release for Hard Times presents: The 15th Anniversary (part 1)

After tearing up The Electric Banana AND The Grand Pier for HTE - We welcome back, the free party Hard Trance connoisseur - 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗦 🔥

Coms’ passion for music was inflicted from a young age. His unique sound comes from a lifetime of listening to a blend of old acid house with his Dad, classical with his late grandfather and grime whilst growing up in London.

At only 12 years old he was writing lyrics, making grime and hip hop instrumentals for his friends to rap over. He found his passion for hard trance after attending his first rave at 18, and started producing his own music during his recovery from a leg injury which made him house bound for months. His first tracks were immediately signed to a label and then started up his own record label “Wired Together”. His first big hit, "Not Sleeping Much", became a staple at raves across Europe and is featured on “Amsterdam Dance Essentials 2014”. Despite having to leave the label due to personal circumstances, Coms continued to produce hit tracks and rise to the top of the Free Party Hard Trance scene, with tracks like "Run with it" and "Backwards People."

In recent years, Coms has played at major events such as Boomtown, Illusive, Tearout and Rude Awakenings and not lastly in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He is known to create unforgettable mosh pits by pushing the boundaries of Free Party Hard Trance, often with his good friend, “The Fly”. He is an evolving artist who continues to captivate audiences and take them on new musical journeys.

Early bird tickets are 75% SOLD OUT

* Important news *

Due to slow ticket sales, ourselves and Rapture have had to make the decision of cancelling the Rapture Recordings room in The Loft at this Fridays HARD TIMES & RAPTURE RECORDINGS presents FRIGHT NIGHT (Hexs Halloween Birthday Ball)

This is not a decision we have taken lightly. With the event costing a fair bit, neither of us are in a position to take a chance on last minute sales.

This is the reality of leaving it last minute to buy your ticket. Promoters like ourselves are no longer prepared to risk 0000s just to entertain a few. We always encourage people to buy their ticket in advance, even with incentives of half price early birds, so promoters can gauge how well the event will do, and leaving it till last minute puts us under a lot of pressure to the point where considering cancellation is the only option.

We apologise to the people who were hoping to catch the Rapture DJs and we apologise to the artists we've had to cancel.

We have now removed the standard ticket price and tickets will remain @ £15, but will still be £20 on the door.

Apologies again on behalf of us at Hard Times & Rapture Recordings.
