Founded in 1997, Frantic are dedicated to the raw, exciting underground sounds of Hard House. They love the music as much as life itself! It’s with this ethos in mind that they approach their parties and construct their DJ line-ups, combining established Hard House legends with the hottest new talent around. To complete the experience they seek out the most upfront, cutting-edge sound and lighting technology, ensuring unforgettable, mind-blowing, next generation clubbing experiences! We play only the most exciting hard, fast music – covering everything from driving UK Hard Trance to boshing European Hardstyle, to classic Bounce and full-on Filth, and all inbetween. The music in our scene is more diverse than ever and we are proud to represent its many colours and flavours!
Frantic has grown from a single event into a range of different parties, each with their own ideology and associated venue. Timeless is like the history lesson you wish you could have had at school – a trip down memory lane with nothing but 100% classic Hard House & Trance anthems all night long, in the spacious, sociable, riverside surroundings of The Colosseum. Hard Nation opts for a tougher musical policy, bringing fierce filthy sounds to one of the world’s most highly respected club venues – The End – while Hard House Heaven takes over the labyrinth-like Heaven club for an eclectic night of hard beats covering the full spectrum. Frantic’s birthday events at KOKO take us back to the golden age of Hard House, with an unbeatable atmosphere and celebration of the music we love at the country’s most majestic, history-enshrined venue. Finally, Hard House Academy takes over the gargantuan 4500 capacity Brixton Academy for the greatest show in Hard House – taking the most charismatic, show-stopping acts, the decking out the venue with the most mindblowing production money can buy. We have tried and tested all of the best venues that London has to offer, and chosen to return to a different one for each event, adding to the excitement of each party by only using each venue once year. Each space has its own strengths and advantages and is suited to a different kind of event, and we hope that you agree with our judgments!
Frantic does EVENTS, not club nights. We want each one to generate months of anticipation and a real sense of occasion. We are inspired by the hi-tech visual production of Dutch mega-parties like Impulz and Sensation, and we try to take their sensational lighting, sound and décor policies and present it on a more intimate scale. We bring in extra, cutting-edge sound and lighting to venues that we think aren’t well enough equipped (for example we are the only promotion to bring extra sound into KOKO), and we will be showcasing our very own Frantic visuals at every event this year. We are also working with an expert team of décor specialists who spend up to 3 days preparing our venues and turning them into magical spaces for our events, with themed events such as our White Party theme at Timeless and our War Of The Harder Worlds space age them at Hard House Heaven.
When it comes to DJs, Frantic only brings you jocks who they believe are still passionate about Hard House music and love what they do. DJs who are real entertainers and performers and are visibly excited about what they do! The last few years have seen the NuWave of Harder DJs breakthrough to become the new leaders of the scene – unstoppable talents like Frantic’s resident DJs Andy Whitby and Cally Gage, and super producers like Technikal, Rodi Style and Steve Hill who are keeping the music in our scene strong as ever. Frantic is all about DJs who give it all their energy – with exciting performers like Kutski, Adam Lab4, Alex Kidd, Kevin Energy and Cally & Juice, who know how to interact with the crowd and get them hyped. Keep an eye on bright new stars like Wales’s Frisky, Steve O’ Brady, James Condon, Elvis, Nathalie, Caz Wood, Kevsey D and Pickup & Rise – all Frantic faves who will soon be amongst the biggest names in Hard House! Each of our DJs has their own unique recipe for making a dancefloor rock, and we complete faith in all of them!
As they say in Spanish, “mi casa es tu casa” – and we want to know what you think about Frantic, who you want to see play, which venues you like, what themes you enjoy and anything else you’ve got to say. Without you lot, we’d be nothing - so it’s only right that you get your say!
