KEVIN ENERGY
(N.E.C, FREEFORMATION, NU ENERGY - UNITED KINGDOM)
N.E.C. head honcho, Kevin Energy is firmly established as a DJ in the top echelon of Hardcore + Harddance, with promoters battering down his doors from the length and breadth of the UK and all around the World, for his undeniably diverse sound from ravey, party infused tracks to underground, acid fuelled stompers

Energised, always and musically innovative, there aren’t many crowd-pleasers in Hardcore that can rock a crowd quite like Kevin Energy who well deserves his ‘Best Harddance DJ 2006’ crown but for a man who earned his first big room rave sets before he was old enough to legally attend them it is hardly surprising. His fresh sound and ever enthusiastic mixing style make him a favourite behind the decks as he always delivers service with a smile and with more scratching and rockin’, upfront tracks than you can shake a glow stick at.

From the early days of Dream FM and ‘Hardcore Fever’ Kevin has moved from strength to strength. With running the Nu Energy Collective including some long established labels – Nu Energy, Relentless Vinyl, Liquid Hardcore Dynamix and NEC Live, brand new digital concepts and LIVE PA, Freeformation party nights, his Elevate Hard Dance crusade, Hardcore Heaven compilation mix and USA domination, Kevin is by far one of the busiest DJ’s/producers/promoters in the scene, but despite his insanely busy work ethic he will still be seen partying it up at events before and after his sets wearing oversized hats or Hawaiian shirts which is surely why he is a pioneer of the Wise Up, Get Stupid party ethic!

Whether it be his blistering Hardcore Heaven CD mixes, his explosive technically tight DJ sets at HTID, Slammin Vinyl or Raindance or even his rave rockin production work, Kevin always manages to balance a pacey, instantly uplifting energy with a forward thinking approach that pushes back the boundaries of Hardcore. Then of course there’s the brand new Freeformation ‘Wise Up Get Stupid’ album concept that has just taken the scene by storm – Hardcore has never looked so sweet!

With the launch of his all new worldwide mail order music store [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and the all new N.E.C site [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] the future has never looked brighter for Kevin and the artists + labels that he works hard to promote. Now Kevin returns to his favourite party land downunder with his partner in crime Sharkey to spread the Wise Up and Get Stupid message of fresh party music + Ravin!

SHARKEY
(KAOTIK, RESIST, N.E.C, FREEFORMATION - UNITED KINGDOM)
Jon Sharkey is undoubtedly one of the most established names in the Hardcore scene. The legendary, jack of all trades has tried his hand at everything; starting in the early days of rave in ‘93 where he won countless awards for MC of the year, then moving on to production and DJing co-producing ‘Toytown’ one of the biggest anthems of the era on Essential Platinum and now in moulding the new talent of Hardcore and Freeform’s future. The like’s of K Complex, AMS and Arkitech to name just a few have evolved through Sharkey’s studio and tuition.

His highly anticipated second artist album ‘The World Is Bigger Than Me’ is testament to the time and work he has invested in the artists he has worked with. His first artist album ‘Hardlife’ remains a cult classic and has a silver sales disk to herald its popularity and more recently the huge ‘Wise Up Get Stupid’ Freeformation is fast being hailed as compilation of the year.

As a joint owner of the UK’s fastest growing rave night Freeformation, Sharkey gets to stamp his mad ‘Wise Up Get Stupid’ ethics on the worldwide scene by injecting fun as well as quality music into what is proving to be one of the best atmosphere’s around.

Kaotik is still his calling card and the label, now on its tenth release is as strong as ever and has featured stand out, upfront artists like Ephexis, Arkitech, Gammer, Darwin and AC Slater. The label’s sound comprises Hardcore in all it’s shapes and sizes at the cutting edge of the scene. Kaotik like its name and it’s owner is true to it’s values and provides music for all hardcore lovers.

Sharkey is a hugely adaptable DJ. The success of his career has undoubtedly been due to this unique diversity and knack for always standing out loud and proud from the every day trends that get rinsed. He is a true pioneer in his field and a full on party mover. When he steps up and takes control it's time for the rest to step back! As well as storming through the UK playing at any well known event including Glastonbury and Glade, Sharkey regularly plays at events all over the world including Enchanted Festival Australia, Nocturnal Wonderland USA, Canada, Finland and Japan.

Watch out New Zealand – The crazy Sharkey is back along side his sidekick Mr Energy to cause havoc and mahem in 2007 as only he knows best!
