Ben Sims pres Hardgroove Mix Tape
For this edition, we’re joined by Belgium’s Antony Doria, whose powerful ‘Becoming Aware Of Things’ EP dropped on Symbolism last month and saw support from big guns such as ..Rodhad, Kr!z, Truncate, James Ruskin and, of course, Ben Sims. No stranger to Symbolism, Antony also featured on the Synchronicity comp a couple of years back, and he has also graced Soma, Mord, Illegal Alien, and Dynamic Reflection with his material. Growing up in Belgium, Antony was hugely inspired by the legendary Fuse club and, in particular, regular selectors Pierre and Dave Clarke, influences that have made...

The Hardgroove Mixtape is back with George Tounisidis in the hot seat this time. Whether on Symbolism, Machine or Hardgroove, I’ve been putting out George’s music for a while now, and with his current ‘We Don’t Leave Our Dead Behind’ EP fresh in the stores, it seemed like the perfect time to drop his mixtape.

This time around, we’ve got a sweet mix from Spain’s Pushmann, aka Victor M. Villa, a producer I've been supporting for the past few years. He featured on the Synchronicity compilation back in 2021, released a full EP on Hardgroove late last year, and we’re currently finalising a forthcoming EP for Symbolism. In addition, he’s released music on legendary labels like Axis and KMS, also on solid imprints like Be As One, Matterwave and End of Dayz, plus runs his own N&N label. As a DJ, his style is not too dissimilar from my mine own tbh, energetic, fast-moving, multi-layered,...

info_outline 001: Trackmaster DreBen Sims pres Hardgroove Mix Tape
Welcome to the first Hardgroove Mix Tape, a new series of occasional sessions from djs and producers I’m digging. I work with a large number of acts on my record labels, so I thought why not create a podcast to showcase their talents more and get some killer mixes out there. First up, we have Trackmaster Dre aka Andre Guyvoronsky, a Russian dj and producer who for many years has been big on the house scene with his Tripmastaz alias. Releasing for the likes of DJ Sneak on Magnetic Records, Josh Wink's Ovum and D'Julz’s Bass Culture plus his own self titled imprint. Trackmaster Dre is his...

As a DJ, his style is not too dissimilar from my mine own tbh, energetic, fast-moving, multi-layered, varied styles and rhythms but always focused on the funk (perfect for the Hardgroove mixtape!). His DJ schedule has seen him drop sets at famed clubs like Florida 135 and Tresor, plus the immense Monegros festival in Spain. Enjoy!!
