Ben Stevens - My Year In Hard Dance

What's been your biggest achievement of the year?

2009 has been a fantastic yeah for me but taking the step into engineering my own music has been my biggest achievement.

What moments will you never forget?

Having some of my tracks played on BBC Radio 1 by the main man Kutski will be something that I'll never forget :)

Who's been your favourite newcomer of the year?

I think Ross Homson has impressed me the most this year with some awesome tracks that can be played right across the specturm of a hard dance night. I'f you've not heard any of his music check him out on Trackitdown!

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

For me Rodi Style has been right at the top this year for both his amazing dj skills and awesome productions.

What's been your favourite label of the year?

Fireball Recordings, haha got to get a cheeky plug in there ;)

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

It has to be 'The Eternal' that I did with Rodi Style released on Tidy earlier on in the year. It has had the best response of any track I've played this year and still gives me chills listening to it now.

What's been your favourite event of the year?

Rave On in Leeds has been the best small night for me this year, time to get some fun back into the hard dance scene. For the bigger scale events Insomniacz have been at the top and its great to have the club I grew up with back on the scene.

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

There are far too many funny things that I couldn't really mention on here, but being sexually harrased by a badger in a club was one of the funniest and best ;)

What do you have planned for the next year?

I plan to work more on the Chaos Theory live session that Rodi Style and I do and I will be unleashing Ben Stevens live later on in 2010. Keep an eye out for it!
