Скачать или смотреть Ben Stevens: Flights, Festivals and Flashbacks | Paul Glazby | Hard House History

In this special episode of Hard House History, Paul sits down with long-time friend, producer and Hard Dance veteran Ben Stevens for a massive deep dive into two decades of memories, music and the evolution of the scene. After more than ten years without seeing each other in person, the reunion brings out some of the most entertaining, honest and insightful conversations ever recorded on the podcast.

Ben talks about flying halfway across the world for a gig with Lucy Fur, the chaos of travel, the familiar madness of long haul delays and what it is like stepping straight back into the Aussie Hard House community. From Manchester grey skies to Gold Coast sunshine, Ben reflects on why Australian crowds have always held a special place in his journey.

The episode digs deep into the state of Hard House in 2025. Paul and Ben explore the rebirth of events in the UK, why labels operate differently in the streaming age, and what a modern relaunch of classics like 999 or Neonate could realistically look like. Ben gives rare behind-the-scenes insight into how labels function today, why streaming dominates, and how artists shape their release strategy.

There are huge discussions around production, collaboration and the magic behind early classics. Ben and Paul talk about remixing legendary tracks, the danger of touching your favourites, and why producers like Tinrib, Maddox and Frank Farrell remain foundational to the sound. They also tease their own upcoming remix project, the first Stevens x Glazby collab ever!

The episode is packed with stories, including:
• Jet lagged sets and missed flights
• The glory days of The Arches and The Emporium
• The chaos of old school tours across the UK
• Why Tidy Weekenders are officially finished
• What the future of Frantic and other brands may hold
• Paul nearly missing Metallica after the Glazbytime event
• Adventures with Kerrigan, Damage and countless Hard House characters

Paul also reveals huge podcast news, including upcoming interviews with Tony De Vit's sister and, hopefully, Fergie.

Whether you are a lifelong raver, a DJ, a producer or just discovering the culture, this episode delivers nostalgia, humour and real insight into the people who built the hard house world.
