{Extended Set}
From scene founding father to, of-late, initiator and flag-bearer for the Pure Trance movement, Solarstone’s enduring influence spans the near length of the genre’s history. Having championed the true nature of trance music from his very first release, the last 24 months have seen Solarstone drive its sound, almost singlehandedly, back up to the top of the genre’s agenda. Through his #PureTrance gospel – modernizing the genre’s heart, whilst maintaining its soul – he captured the mood of the scene with zeitgeist timing. Solarstone’s Pure Trance concept has subsequently spun off into a mix-comp series, Pure Trance shows worldwide (including electronic music capitals like Miami, Ibiza & Amsterdam) and most recently the Pure Trance Recordings label.

https://www.facebook.com/djvinylgroover

One of Happy Hardcore’s original pioneers, Vinylgroover is responsible for some of its most memorable and classic songs. Tracks like “Time After Time”, “Together Again”, “John Gotti’s Revenge”, “Fairytales & Angels”, and “Rainbows” have solidified his status as a true legend in the hardcore scene.

Vinylgroover aka Scott Attrill grew up in Portsmouth UK and began DJing at the age of 14, playing alongside Carl Cox, Ratty, and Grooverider. It was his first job at Fusion Records in his hometown that most shaped his transition into the scene though, and it wasn’t long before he was producing and releasing his own music on his now legendary label The World of Obsession. He quickly made a name for himself in the Happy Hardcore scene through his energetic live sets, original productions, and collaborations with other talented artists like Brisk, DNA, Ramos, and Trixxy, all of which found him playing all over the UK and the beyond.

Vinylgroover shifted styles from Happy Hardcore to Hard House and Hard Dance in 1999 creating a whole new name for himself. He produced many popular tracks such as “657”, “Move Your Body” , and “Everlasting”, worked with some of the biggest names in the hard house scene, and released music on labels like Nukleuz, Tidy Trax, and Red Records.

He is still actively in the studio producing incredible Hard Dance music as Scott Attrill and DJing all over the world as both Vinylgroover for his classic Happy Hardcore sets or Scott Attrill for one of his intense Hard Dance sets.

DFR has dj’d for fifteen years, which ironically is exactly one half of his life, but he didn’t really step out and play live regularly until about nine years ago. Since doing so, the past nine years have been full of awesome experiences that have led to him djing in Detroit, Cleveland, Indiana, Chicago, Minneapolis, and just about everywhere in between. He’s opened for artists like Green Velvet, Bad Boy Bill, Goldie, Golf Clap, Reid Speed, Terry Mullan, Dara, Dieselboy, Mayhem, Kennedy Jones, and Gabriel & Dresden to name a few. Most recently he was direct opening support for Shiba San and many said he stole the show.

He also has promoted events in Wisconsin under the A Long Nite Productions name for the past 16 years with things really coming into place the past ten years. Putting on the “Choose Your Own Raventure” parties were some of his most successful favorites and he has recently had success in Milwaukee with his monthly “Showcase” events located at Studio 200.

Expect a set filled with Funky, Acid, & Bass House, combined with slamming Techno that is perfect for the dancefloor!
