PAUL GLAZBY (Vicious Circle UK)

Paul Glazby is the Don, the ‘hard’ in hard house, the guy who conquered an entire scene almost overnight with his remix of Quench’s Dreams. The minstrel of mayhem who led the way from day one, when he boldly stated his intentions, and with every beat, every mix, in every set, at every club, on almost every continent, with every record he has made or played, he has kept his word.
That promise propelled a solo debut single that has since become the definitive hard house anthem. Kick It is the one that closes the last set of every Tidy Weekender, the classic so many others aspire to be. The tune launched the DJ, production and remix career of a giant who instantly towered over the hard house scene. The record launched a label which grew into a stable, an empire, a leader of the pack.

Vicious Circle has since clocked up almost seventy releases, including the all-time classics Beautiful, Yamamba, Crazy Pills and Hostile along with its founder’s unrivalled Ten Commandments series of ten consecutive singles.

It has spawned the renowned I Love VC albums, events and tours and it remains the biggest and best hard house stamp in the world. At the Hard Dance Awards it has received the accolades of Best Single and Best Album, while its head honcho has come home with a Best Remixer trophy.

The powerful punch Paul packs in the mix has graced albums on other labels, such as Tidy’s Insomnia, Hard Dance Republic and TW9 Live, while he has had singles snapped up by greats – Tidy, Nukleuz and Recharge.
In 2007, the dominator’s full-on compositions began incorporating more melodic elements which won over a new army of the faithful. Future outings on vinyl which will continue the trend include a remix for Lisa Lashes and two-track collaboration with Paul Maddox.

Glazby the guru first grew his army of fanatics with his celebrated DJ sets at Insomniacz, and since the turn of the decade he has clocked up countless legendary appearances at Frantic, Sundissential, Polysexual, Goodgreef, Storm and the Tidy Weekenders among others.

Paul has also contributed to all of the major summer festivals such as Global Gathering, Creamfields, Gatecrasher Summer Sound System and the globally-renowned Dance Valley.

The world champion’s widespread international appeal means he is regularly aboard long-haul flights to Australia, Japan, South Africa, Canada and New Zealand for massive club tours, while closer to home he is often found rocking clubs in Ibiza, Ireland and continental Europe.

The minister of madness is currently engaged in another first: the ‘Paul Glazby X’ tour; three to six-hour journeys through a Decade of Dance. The history of hard house as told by one of its most important and influential figures. X-cellent.
