Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a great festive period. Back to the grindstone with a vengeance now.

Check out what the switched on d00ds at 'Hit The Floor' magazine had to say about Darwin and I in their 'Acts to watch in 2012' section...

To coincide with their review of our HU5 album, AltSounds.com put together a few questions for me to answer about the series and our plans for 2012. If you're looking to avoid doing any work or go Xmas shopping then have a little read here.

Guest host DJ Fracus totally rocked the socks off the Hard Beats Collective Radio Show last night as he streamed a superb mixture of up front UK hardcore and freeform.  After this week's release of compilation titan "Hardcore Underground 5" we knew to expect this perfect addition to the ever-growing catalogue of HBC Shows!

If you weren't tuned in to catch the hour first hand on Krafty Radio then this magnificent podcast is available now!  The HBC would like to thank Fracus for his excellent show and continued support.  Big up!

Fracus alongside Darwin and all your favourite HBC artists can be witnessed doing their thing live for FREE at I Love Hard Beats in February @ Lightbox, Vauxhall.  Go HERE to get your free entry code!

The HBC show goes out live on Krafty Radio every Thursday at 10pm UK time with podcasts following every Friday.  Next week we head Stateside as SynthWulf is on the prowl!

Grab Fracus on podcast here!

You can download the Fracus & Darwin DJ Set from last summer's Sanctuary Festival (for free!) by heading on over to my Soundcloud page. If you click the flyer image below it will navigate to my account's homepage. Just click on the title of the audio itself to navigate to its own individual page, and the download icon is near the top left hand corner of the wave displayed.

You can also check out clips of forthcoming releases and works in progress on my Soundcloud page, if you haven't used it before then you need to make sure you 'follow' me if you want updates when I add audio. It's basically the b*****d son of MySpace & Twitter ;)
