Howdy, let me introduce myself. For those who don’t know me,
my name is Ryan, otherwise known as DJ Bullet and I’ve been mixing hardcore for
around 8 years now. I began my DJ career way back in summer 2003 where I took
my first booking. Talk about being thrown in at the deep end, I was given a 3
hour set at ‘Party in the Park’ which was a large-scale annual music festival held
in Lincolnshire by an ex-member of Gary Glitter’s ‘Glitter Band’. What a great
way to kick-start my career, I was fortunate
to experience what it felt like to play outside on a huge 15K sound system,
something many DJ’s will never get the opportunity to do, what an experience!
I then became resident and promoter of ‘Stamina’ which was a
hardcore event run in Sleaford, Lincolnshire.
These were some absolutely wicked nights! Friendly people, banging 8K sound
system, amazing DJ’s and MC’s, what more could you want?
After securing bookings at many smaller events I finally got
a break and became a resident at Liquid Rush @ The Edge in Nottingham
(Now the well-respected Ravers Reunited). Here it gave me chance to really show
what I was made of. Since then I’ve played at many more exciting nights over Lincolnshire, Yorkshire
and the midlands.
Some of the most memorable nights I’ve appeared at include:
Bangin’ and Kaotik @ Cleethorpes
Stamina @ The Crypt, Sleaford*
Liquid Rush @ The Edge, Nottingham*
Quake @ Cleethorpes
Raverdance @ The Duke of Wellington,
Lincoln
Phazed Out / Rampage @ The Edge, Nottingham
Ravers Reunited Pre-Party @ The Emporium, Coalville
Total Eclipse @ Eclipse Nightclub, Boston
Vertigo @ Flicks Nightclub, Sleaford*
Bounce @ The Amber Lounge, Sleaford
HeadRush @ Mood Basement, Buxton, Derby
(*Residency)
Over the last few years I have also been drumming away in
the studio building up an arsenal of tracks. You can find my tracks on both
vinyl and digital formats. I first started to produced hardcore around 2001
using Propellerheads Reason 1.0. I then upgraded to 2.0 in 2003. From here I
went on to improve both my production skills and music writing ability and in
November 2004 began using SX2. Over recent times I’ve worked with many artists,
both locally and UK
wide. My first collaborations were with local DJ and personal friend, Samba-D
on a few ‘Ravey’ style tracks which you can find at www.sambad.co.uk and www.myspace.com/sambad. For darker
sounds I’ve worked with DJ Fretman with 2 absolute belters, ‘Fuck The Police’
and ‘Transmission’ which have been doing damage in the download charts! But it
doesn’t stop there, I have also collaborated several times with DJ Pettruccio and engineered tracks with DJ Topvibe,
DJ Destiny and DJ Tonik. In the beginning I also worked with DJ Andy Benett
alongside K-Complex on another ‘Ravey’ style track, ‘Move Your Feet’ which led
me to signings with the Nu Energy Collective. ‘Are U Serious?’ was my first big
release for me and was released digitally and on vinyl on Kevin Energy’s
Relentless Vinyl label. It also featured on the album ‘Essential Happy
Hardcore’ in 2006. Since then I have had many solo releases and also remixes with
the N.E.C boys, which is aaaaaall good!
So there you go, there’s a little bit about me. If you want
