Ed Real - My Year In Hard Dance

What's been your biggest achievement of the year?

Really chuffed that the last Hard Dance Awards album sold over 10,000 copies which is really good in this digital age - hopefully there's a few more party people going out and supporting the events off the back of this!

What moments will you never forget?

Hanging out with Howard Marks at last years Hard Dance Awards party - rave on!

Who's been your favourite newcomer of the year?

Swankie & Kashi for spearheading the 160bpm Welsh hardstyle revolution. Mayhem!

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

Luca Antolini has definitely made a big impact.

What's been your favourite label of the year?

Cripes... I've been representing a load of new labels this year but obviously Riot! and Traffic have been rocking the spot big time!

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

I must admit a liking to the football terrace rave anthem that is Showtek 'Here We Fcuking Go!'. Everyone seems to know the words to that one!

What's been your favourite event of the year?

Riot! at Matter in the O2 is a milestone for our scene and is hopefully going to be breathing some life back into London. Get down there and check it out!

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

Being upstaged by sexy dancing robots at Torture Garden's birthday event - phwoar!

What do you have planned for the next year?

Focusing on playing less random stuff - that's Alex Kidd's job now!
