Chances are the first time you heard the name of Ben Stevens, it was none other than Paul Glazby tipping the aspiring DJ for the top. And in the half a decade or so since he first grabbed the attention of the revered Vicious Circle head honcho, Stevens has never had any problem living up to such high expectations.Glazby’s faith in the youngster saw him land pivotal roles in the development of the Vicious Circle stable, both in A&R and event management, and as a result Stevens has a sense of professionalism that belies his 24 years.

Regarded by many of his peers as a technical genius on the wheels of steel, beatmaster Ben has become one of the most in-demand hard house DJs in Britain, with regular slots at high-profile events such as Frantic, Polysexual, Creamfields and the Tidy Weekenders. Ben has enjoyed many bookings in Ireland and Europe, including arguably the best festival on the continent – Dance Valley in Amsterdam.

With tours of Australia (Adelaide), Canada (Edmonton and Calgary) and New Zealand (Auckland and Christchurch) under his belt, the acclaimed DJ’s international profile is consistently growing, and it was given a great boost when he deservedly scooped the illustrious Mixmag Future Hero gong at the Hard Dance Awards in 2006.

There are two superb albums which best illustrate the talented mix maestro’s skills. In 2005 he effectively filled Andy Farley’s shoes on the seminal I Love VC set, and a year later he teamed up with the guru, Glazby, for the devastating back-to-back compilation, A Retrospective of Vicious.

The gifted youngster has also found time to hone his skills in the studio, producing three gargantuan solo singles for the Vicious label – ‘Wake-Up Call’, ‘Crowd Rocker’ and ‘Swarm – and appearing on the legendary 10 Commandments series no fewer than three times. Some of the UK’s other leading labels have also secured his services: Flashpoint, Tripoli Trax and Energy UK among them.

Ben has spent much of 2007 laying the foundations for the next phase of his career – his own Fireball Recordings stamp is set to blaze a new trail for the wizard. The new label kicked off with the seismic Stevens double-header ‘The Warning’/’Supergroover’, a really strong package which sets dancefloors alight and reminds you how diverse and entertaining that hard house can be. Ben has also just remixed the all-time Paul King classic, ‘Kick It In’, and he has completed fresh studio collaborations with Nik Denton, Sam Townend, Marc Johnson, Bryan Doyle and Captain Tinrib.

The abilities and talents of Ben Stevens are without question: whether producing tunes or playing them, he knows exactly how to work a dancefloor and raise the roof off a club.

Easily one of the most technical hard dance DJ’s in the world and a member of the world famous Tidy Trax roster, Rodi Style has firmly established himself as an artist like no other. He is an award winning DJ (Best Newcomer - Hard Dance Awards 2008), a producer whose music is supported by all the heavyweights including multiple plays on BBC Radio1, a label owner managing high quality hard dance and a radio show host on one of the largest online radio stations in the world (slinky.fm).

Rodi Style is one of the few forward thinking DJs in the Hard Dance scene that are at the forefront of performance enhancing technical showmanship. Layering and blending over 3 CDJs, audio manipulation through the use of onboard and outboard fx units as well as turntabalist style scratching isn’t something that’s unheard of in a Rodi Style set and neither is the odd chance of him standing on the tables and scratching with his feet. These unique qualities have propelled Rodi into the elite having made appearances at Global Gathering, Creamfields, Coloursfest, Lovefest as well as the legendary Tidy Weekenders. It’s no wonder Mixmag, Cream and M8 Magazine have labeled him as an artist to look out for! Rodi Style also joined the Hard Dance elite in 2008, having been selected to mix the award winning “Music For A Harder Generation” album series for Tidy alongside Andy Whitby.

Besides being an award winning DJ, Rodi Style is also a prolific producer & engineer within the hard dance scene. His music has appeared in M8 Magazine, DJMAG and Mixmag including a “record of the month” award in Mixmag. Rodi Style’s music can be heard on the playlists of nearly every Hard Dance DJ in the world including; Lisa Lashes, Tidy Boys, Anne Savage, Andy Farley, Paul Glazby, Kutski, Amber D, Proteus and more. His music has also been aired on many occasions on BBC Radio1, RTE Pulse and Kiss FM.

Committed to bringing high quality hard dance music to the world, Rodi Style also runs his own label “Kung Fu Wax”. Having garnished massive support including 3 compilation licensing’s, the release schedule continues to punch its way through with an exciting number of productions from heavyweights Defective Audio, Ben Stevens, Equinox, Technikal and more.

New for the last quarter of 2009 is the brand new setup in conjunction with Native Instrument’s Traktor Pro. Incorporating 4 virtual decks alongside 2 CDJs, 3 midi controllers, a DJM800 and an EFX1000, this allows Rodi Style to warp and edit live music on the fly creating unique performances you won’t find elsewhere!
