Arron Jones (Electrik Shandy) - My Year In Hard Dance

What's been your biggest achievement of the year?

This year for me has to be seeing the Electrik Shandy label grow even further into the world of Hard Dance & Trance. Signing yet more new artist and working with some of the biggest & amazing talents within the scene!!!

What moments will you never forget?

Tidy Weekender Reunion = EPIC!!! Kutski, Mark EG & Ed Real from the hard dance conference saying the south west are leading the way in there own style of Hard Dance!!! But to top everything has to be the Last Ever Tidy Weekender a few weeks back - It was very emotional and meant alot to be there to see it off. Thank you TIDY for an amazing 15 yrs!!!

Who's been your favourite newcomer of the year?

A brand new artist freshly signed to Electrik Shandy - H.D Junkie - one to watch for 2012!!!

Who's been the artist of the year for you?

There's alot but I have to say Cally Gage!!! Followed closely by Klubfiller

What's been your favourite label of the year?

Other than Electrik Shandy :) It has to be Riot, Traffic & N-Gaged recordings

What do you think has been the best track of the year?

Cally Gage & Gammer - Breakneck Bast*rd - Original Mix

What's been your favourite event of the year?

Tidy Weekender Reunion tops everything!!! but playing along side Eddie Halliwell, Organ Donors, Mark EG, John O'callaghan, Signum and many more at Premonition in Plymouth makes me feel pretty good inside :)

What's the funniest thing that's happened to you?

Breaking down on the way to pick up John O'Callaghan from Bristol Airport :-/ then when finally getting to him having to ask for some money to buy oil to get us home!!! Wasn't a great day - but we see the funny side of it now!!! and John still speaks to me so all good :)

What do you have planned for the next year?

Work hard on pushing Electrik Shandy forward with Dan Kelly including releasing 2 Electrik Shandy albums. Now that I have completely switched to mac I will sit down and produce more music of my own and work on an artist album. I will work hard with Dan Kelly in bringing our alias Deckblaggerz to many Clubs around the country so everyone can enjoy the sounds of Electrik Shandy!!
