Talkiing of which, here's the latest remaster, once again with an accompanying video directed by JJ Lacey. Enjoy!
So here we go then... Aside from the Lockdown Sets, the last time I recorded a hard house set was the positively prehistoric year of 2009, back when dinosaurs still walked the earth. It didn't take much persuasion to get back into the hard house groove, and here's the result: a banging selection of some classics that never quite made the cut first time around. Featured artists include D-Generate, Rachel Auburn, Hurricane Tony, 12 Inch Thumpers, Guyver and loads more...
Our good friends Bongovsky and Ed Tangent also bring us some quality new sets for the month.

Well, Happy New Year folks! We are now officially into the "Late Twenties", and the good news is all things Rebirth are as creative and exciting as EVER! It's now 36 fucking years since the first ever Rebirth release. More sensible folks would have quit long ago, but with the unique policy of only releasing one single a year, two max, it's been possible to stretch the creative streak out for decades now, with essentially exactly the same approach to music-making: uplifting, high-vibration pop/dance music with good tunes, good lyrics and good production!

"Green Lady" has long been my personal favourite Highway 62 song, for many, many, many reasons. If the entirety of my entire life's musical output could be condensed down to one three-minute song, "Green Lady" would be the one. Finally the song gets its official video, director JJ Lacey's best effort yet, if you ask me!
Last year I took things right back to the dawn of the rave scene, with four volumes of Elementals old-skool DJ sets. The series returns for Numero Five with a fun and varied big beat/breaks selection. Featured artists include Bentley Rhythm Ace, Fatboy Slim, DJ Punk-Roc, Chemical Brothers, Propellerheads and shedloads more...
We are incredibly pleased to welcome veteran psytrance deck wizard Ed Tangent to the fold. Ed is an absolute legend of the scene, so it's a real honour to add Ed's sonic mastery to our schedules. Meanwhile, Bongovsky is back almost immediately with another selection of Interesting Forms of Nu-Jazz.
Mix Of The Month: It barely seems like a few weeks have elapsed since recording my last hard dance set, but blimey it's over 15 years now. There's a strong rumour that a return to hard house is on the cards.... watch this space! It's a no-holds-barred romp through all manner of hard dance styles, from the clubby to the spooky. from the trippy to the euphoric! Featured artists include Paul Glazby, Base Graffiti, Anne Savage, Champion Burns, Lee Haslam and loads more....
JJ Lacey returns with a marathon two-hour chillout set, comprising 100% original material!
