Joe-E - My Year In Hard Dance

What's been your biggest achievement of the year?

I've had lots of massive achievements over the last 12 months but the biggest was definitely playing in Tokyo, Japan and Ibiza as always Ibiza is just the mekka of dance music and always a pleasure to play there.

What moments will you never forget?

Again getting to grace the decks in Tokyo and also Ibiza!

Who's been your favourite newcomer of the year?

KloneZ!

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

I can't name just one but KloneZ, Organ Donors, Activator with his new Subground style, both Antolini & Montorsi, these artists have been in most of my sets, Radio Shows and Podcasts all year without doubt!

What's been your favourite label of the year?

Without being biased I have to say my own label Virus Audio as well as many others like K405, Audio Surgery, Subground, United Styles, Digitally Infected, Compulzion and there's also a few more that have been really, really good this year!

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

Alphaverb - Overdrive Ya Woofah (KloneZ Remix)

What's been your favourite event of the year?

Be @ Space, Ibiza!

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

The whole lot... literately the whole lot has been funny as f**k and I've had some awesome times with some awesome people that I will never ever forget.

What do you have planned for the next year?

Well I've just sadly announced that I'm going to be taking a break from Hard Dance to concentrate on my other alias' for certain reasons in which I didn't really want to go into but I still love the music so much and I'll still be supporting it as much as possible by running my Virus Audio Label and also helping out with K405 still and other various labels that I help out with. Besides this huge decision that I've had to make I'm going to be finishing off all of the tracks that I had already started and there's a fair few remixes still to come so there will still be a lot of releases for 2012 on various big labels such as Virus Audio, Traffic, K405, Subground and Tidy and I'll also be playing some farewell gigs to go out with a bang! So, I'd also just like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to everyone that has supported me along the way and to all that I have met and promoters that I have played for over the years and most of all, all of you that believed in and understood me and what I have been trying to do with my music.
