Interview with HarderFaster's Tom Allen Reported by Sharon B / Submitted 15-07-03 14:08 In Autumn 2001 Tom Allen launched the now notorious website that is HarderFaster. From its small beginnings to dominating the hard dance online sites, HarderFaster has been a consistent source of entertainment, information and promotion for all involved in the clubbing world. Clubbers, promoters and DJ’s are always found lurking or posting and it has been revolutionary in bringing the hard dance scene closer as community with the exchange of ideas, feedback and some downright dodgy photos Sharon B decided to catch up with the HarderFather to find out more about the site, Tom Allen’s meteoric rise as one of London’s best up-and-coming DJ’s and future plans for promotions and production. Sharon B: HarderFaster has been running since 2001 - what first gave you the idea to start up the forum and how did you go about putting your idea into action? Tom Allen: The story goes like this: I'd just quit my job in September 2000 and taken a year out to go travelling around SE Asia, Australia and NZ and while living in Sydney came across a free street press magazine called 3DWorld similar to TNT but focusing entirely on the Sydney music scene with all the major genres covered. This was something I thought could easily be set up and would go down well in London so on my return in May of 2001 I started working on it. I quickly discovered I knew nothing about publishing and certainly didn't have the needed cash to set up a magazine so when a friend suggested I start a website instead as a way of proving the concept and for publicity for the eventual launch of a magazine I did that instead. I still think setting up a high quality free street press music magazine would be a wicked idea, anyone got a spare hundred grand? Luckily I'd done a few (admittedly extremely poor) websites beforehand so I knew how to design them, I was unemployed so had time to spend a few months dedicated to it and when it came to launching the site I was lucky enough to have a brother who ran an internet gaming company who could host the website (we've since moved to professional hosting) so I didn't have to worry about supporting the site with paid advertising. The name HarderFaster was just from the phrase my mate Billy and I used to shout on the dancefloor. Originally it was going to be called SubstanceLondon but I went with the porny sounding HF which the boys liked but the girls didn't SB: It must have been very difficult in the early days to promote the site and get people’s attention. How did you go about selling HarderFaster to clubbers to get them online? TA: I got 10,000 flyers printed up and we flyered every event we went to for about 3 months which was pretty horrendous but worked quite well. The most effective thing though was that we took photos at all of the clubs we were at and handed out cards with the site name on to the people we photographed. After that it just snowballed and we've never really needed to advertise, it's just word of mouth mostly these days (althought the photos still help loads!) SB: What do you think it is about HarderFaster that appeals so much to people? Many users say that once they start they just can’t stop - what is it that is so unique that makes people always coming back for more? TA: At the end of the day for me the site is all about generating a community based around the scene, which hopefully makes it stronger, more friendly and more vibrant for everyone. The site's content is what might draw people into using it initially, particularly things like the Photos section and the What's On guide, but at the end of the day what draws the regulars back is the opportunity to talk sh*t with their mates when they're supposed to be working SB: How do you think the site has progressed over the last two years and what direction do you hope it will go in the future? Where would you like HarderFaster to be in a year’s time? TA: The most unreal change is of course the number of people who're using the site now - from the old days when there were a few posts a week from the likes of Security Man, Gurnmaster Deluxe, Pearsall et al to god knows how many now. Other than that the site itself has evolved over the years but it hasn't changed that much since the original conception - I think you'd still clearly recognise the original site that came online in July of 2001 if you saw it today. SB: You must be pleased with how well it is doing now, going from its small beginnings to being probably the best London hard dance forum on the web - what major changes have there been to the site and what is your favorite aspect of HarderFaster? TA: Yes definitely very pleased with how it's going now. The most major recent change has been that we've started to support UK wide listings in an effort to start attracting members from outside of just London. This is part of my mission to make HarderFaster comfortably the top site in the UK in terms of the hard house and trance scene which it's already showing signs of becoming and certainly in a year's time I would like to be much more strongly established in the rest of the UK. My favourite aspect is probably the What's On guide, a few other sites have made a stab at it but in my opinion no one's done it as well as we have. This is partly of course due to the great support we've had from promoters in adding their events to our listings to keep them accurate SB: Is there any one thread on the forum section that you remember as your favourite? TA: I remember laughing my arse off all through an entire afternoon with one of them, not sure what the title was but it was where TearZ put forward his piss-take suggestion for a new logo and I changed the actual site logo to it Proper old skool thread which has been archived off so it's not online any more, must remember to resurrect it! SB: Which HarderFaster members do you always consider to be of great value and why? Comedy, satire, character etc.? Anyone in particular that when you see that they have started a thread you just can’t help but take a peek? TA: Hmm well there's been loads really, Gurnmaster Deluxe, Pacman, argh_01 and BottleofWater's threads are pretty consistently well written and amusing, the old shauny69 ones were classic because they were almost always a scathing rant about the hard dance scene which was good for a laugh, Crazy John who's given us plenty of amusement when certain characters get too far up their own arse which is a healthy thing to have on any site. Oh and of course Shaezel's as she's unofficially in charge here anyway SB: Many members on the site have a number of aliases. Have you ever been tempted to sign on as an alias yourself and cause mischief or confusion? TA: Well if I wanted to cause mischief and confusion I wouldn't need to bother with an alias, it would be easier to hack around and change other people's posts or something evil like that. It would be kind of stupid to undermine the site I created by making people distrust the security of the site though. SB: Daddy or chips? TA: Daddy. No wait, chips. SB: The smilies section just seems to keep growing and growing - do you have a favourite? Ever find yourself using smilies or abbreviations from the site in other correspondence like emails or texts? Do you get as affected by HarderFaster as everyone else seems to? TA: Favourite is probably Always trying to use smilies in email and texts, it does my head in. Still use them when communicating with mates from HF though. When is the rest of the world going to catch up? SB: The forum section can get quite heated in the debates it generates - how do you keep control over so many users, especially where volatile subjects are concerned? Do you ever get days where it can get too overwhelming and you just want to "pull the plug"? TA: With the help of my fantastic moderators of course I wouldn't say we 'keep control' though, it's more a case of letting people do whatever they want but trying to maintain a consistent way of dealing with abuse so everyone knows where the line between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour is. I think most good community sites are self moderating in that it is the members themselves who define what's right and wrong and the moderators are there to enforce the accepted behaviour and that's what I'd like to think we have. Some days, mostly Monday or Tuesday nights when I've got a hundred emails to wade through and a load of complaints to deal with I wonder if it's all worth it but so far I've pulled through! SB: Last year HarderFaster held a poll whereby people could vote for favourite DJ, producer and HarderFaster member - will this be an annual poll? TA: Yes, definitely. Ideally we will do a poll winners party just like Smash Hits this year (but without Duncan from Blue). If anyone has suggestions for new categories please email or PM them to me SB: Do you think the results have provided any extra leverage to those who were voted? Has it benefited DJ’s, producers, small promotions etc? Do you think HarderFaster holds leverage in the clubbing world to promoters and DJ’s? TA: That's hard to say, I think you'd have to ask them! I think we have some leverage in that the site is very widely read within the UK scene but I don't think we have leverage in the sense that if we say some promotion is hot one week then the next night they hold will be rammed. For promoters and DJs we're established as being a very good way of reaching out to and advertising to clubbers and I think that influence will grow as the site membership grows. SB: If it all ended tomorrow and there was no more HarderFaster or hard dance scene what would you do instead? Would you follow another creative route or would you follow an entirely different direction? TA: I'd almost certainly start building a new website straight away - I'm always coming up with ideas for new projects and in fact I've just started work on a new site. Not before a long holiday travelling around somewhere like South America first though SB: Aside from running HarderFaster you are also recognised as a formidable up-and-coming hard dance DJ. When did you get into mixing and what drew you to hard dance as opposed to other music genres? TA: I bought decks in September 2001 just so I could play the tunes at home that I'd heard the night before in the club. I honestly never had any intention of playing in a club back then, I started mixing hard dance because I was only going to clubs that played that sort of music! SB: What do you hope to achieve as a DJ? In which direction do you want to go and what are your hopes for your DJ’ing career in the future? TA: I think as a DJ it's natural to always want to play to bigger and better clubs and crowds, I've always wanted to play main room at the Camden Palace as it's where I first had a taste of clubbing and where some of my best clubbing moments have been. It was very frustrating earlier this year to be offered a set there but for it to clash with my brother's wedding in France... priorities priorities! My philosophy on DJing is just to play great tunes, always enjoy it and always make sure the crowd does too and see where it takes me - so far I've had a fantastic time doing it and it's progressed much faster and further than I ever thought it would. I think any DJ has to be realistic about the unbelievable amount of competition out there (especially with over 300 DJs listed on HarderFaster alone), put in the leg work and take the opportunities given to them. Who knows where it will go but I've had a fantastic time doing it so far. SB: Who are your inspirations as far as music goes? Which DJ’s do you look up to and what is it about them that makes you admire them so much? Is it musical choice, technical ability etc.? TA: For musical choice it's always been Phil Reynolds who inspired me from day one with his unbelievable sets which I still remember from my early nights out at the Camden Palace and for technical ability is has to be Andy Farley who sets the standard for many HD DJs. SB: As a DJ what do you hold of greater importance - style of music or technical ability? TA: Track selection is 99% of what makes a great DJ. Techinical skills like cutting, fading, chopping, scratching etc. are a nice bit of icing on the cake if done well but if you can't read a crowd, build a set and pick the right tunes for the right moment then you may as well save it for the posters in your bedroom. SB: Do you remember your first set out? Where was it held and what was it like going from mixing in your bedroom to playing out to a live crowd? TA: First set out was at the HarderFaster Launch Party at Freedom in Soho on the 16th March last year. I played a back to back set with mate Billy Boy (who was instrumental in the site in the early days). We played a planned set of ridiculously hard and fast tunes like Lab4's 'Concept of Love' and 'Another Jam' which was unbelievably stressful and I'd hate to think how it sounded! SB: You’ve played for many events in London now and at some of the best venues - is there anywhere yet you haven’t played in London that you would love to DJ? TA: The big ones - the main rooms of Camden Palace, Brixton Academy, Turnmills, Ministry etc. SB: What about globally? If you could play your ideal set anywhere where would it be and why there? TA: Ideal set would be in the main room at Amnesia in Ibiza - comfortably the best club (drinks prices excluded) I have ever been to - unreal soundsystem, great DJ booth position, wicked lighting and that ice cannon SB: So imagine you have this set at Amnesia - the crowd is screaming for more and you are about to come on to play out - what tunes would you definitely have in your record box to keep them reaching for the lasers? TA: The classics would definitely be in there: Binary Finary '1998', Daniel Ro & Pepi 'Remedy', K90 'Deliverance', Miss Shiva 'Dreams', Scintillator 'Sonic Decimator' and of course I'd save my favourite tune of all time Parker & Clind 'Generator' for the encore SB: Many DJ’s these days are broadening both their appeal and notoriety by making their own tunes and playing them out. Have you got any plans in the pipeline to get into a studio and make your own music? If you did start producing, what kind of style/genre would you go for and why? TA: I'd love to do a tune and have got a few ideas down in Logic Audio, for me the biggest problem though is time which means the chances of doing a track by myself are limited given the level of knowledge I have. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do a collaboration with someone and kick things off that way. Hard trance is where it's at for me so that's the kind of thing I'd love to produce. SB: There is much criticism at the moment that the hard dance scene is on its last legs and diminishing rapidly - do you think that hard dance is on the decline? Do you think it will vanish or do you believe that it is just "going through a cycle" as some argue? TA: There's no question the scene is shrinking in London at the moment, although it's being exacerbated by the usual summer lull right now. The dance music and general clubbing market in the UK has been in decline for a while (as seen by the closure of so many clubs, promotions, venues and magazines) so it's no surprise that this is hitting our scene as well. However there's absolutely no way that hard house or hard trance or whatever you want to call it is going to disappear, it'll go more underground for sure, reinvent itself and come back stronger than ever before I'm pretty sure of that. SB: What do you think the scene needs in order to get back on its feet? Do you think there is a lack of fresh sounds being produced? Not enough available on the market to inspire people to hit the dance floor? TA: Well, taking a look at London some weekends where you could have ten different promotions on the same night all booking the same sort of DJs to play the same music and compete for the same crowd something clearly has to change and I actually think that having The Fridge put a stop to any future Saturday night HH/HT nights is a good thing in that respect. Ideally (and although it sounds harsh) I would halve the number of promotions and pick the ones that remain based on those that are most diverse, individual and creative in the way they promote and approach the scene. From there build it back up into the vibrant, creative, buzzing scene that we all know and love and that will naturally draw the clubbers back in. Obviously we can't do that so I think it's very much in the hands of the promoters to keep the scene buzzing with fresh innovative event ideas, trying out new talent, looking to new venues for parties etc. Classic examples that are great for the scene are Lisa Lashes doing 'Lashed' over in Ibiza, the amazingly successful Tidy Weekenders which are sold out months in advance and Frantic's awesome Hard House Academy's all of which bring new blood into the hard dance world as well as at the other end of the spectrum the smaller promotions, the guys creating a party vibe in places like the 414 and the George who form the bedrock from which great things develop. On the production side there has to be some change as well, the hard trance thing has been pretty much thrashed by every producer out there and many clubbers seem to be gagging for a return to the darker, dirtier harder sounds that have been left off the dance floors in the last 12 months. SB: Which producers do you admire the most? When you go into a record shop and see the new tunes that have been released are there any producers who when you see their name on a record sleeve you just know that there will be magic on the vinyl? TA: Well, anything that James Lawson has got his dirty mitts on is almost always a dance floor stormer, similarly any track where Dave Parkinson is involved with can practically go in the bag without needing to pick up a pair of headphones, the same goes for any vinyl K90's magic finger has been anywhere near. In terms of the newer producers on the scene Dave Lochrie's tracks (although mostly not released yet) shows huge amounts of talent with Escalation, Plan B, Zero Gravity all outright stormers and Fidget's Barry Diston another man who I think is going to be a star of the future. SB: It’s certainly noticeable in the larger retail outlets that their hard house stock has diminished or disappeared - do you think that hard dance has lost its appeal in the new millennium and if so, how do you think this can be rectified? What can we do to bring hard dance back to the forefront of clubbing and back on the shelves of major record companies? TA: Hard dance is never going to be at the forefront of clubbing purely because it represents one extreme of dance music - it is harder and it is faster (ahem ) than regular house and trance so naturally it's only going to appeal to a relatively small subsection of the clubbing population. I don't think this is a bad thing, after all do you really want to walk into your local Ritzy's / Hollywoods / PoNaNa's (delete as applicable) and hear them banging out your favourite tunes while everyone on the dancefloor sways around and tries to cop off with the nearest thing with a heartbeat? We'll still get crossover tracks like Access, Reincarnations and Revolution which appeal to both the mainstream and HD scenes but I don't see them becoming a regular feature in the charts when most of the population still thinks DJ Sammy represents what trance is all about. Who cares what the majors think, keep the faith, be proud of the scene and the music that makes it so unreal and if the rest of the world wants to take a listen then that's cool as well. SB: Just a few short weeks ago we witnessed Tony De Vit’s fifth memorial where many HarderFaster members paid tribute to him as being the founder of the hard dance scene - who do you think is the face of hard dance these days? Is there any one person that you think represents the scene or are there a collective of people that lead the pack? TA: On the production side I'd argue the case for BK being up there, there's no one else on the scene who has so consistently innovated and pushed forward the boundaries of hard house. On the DJing side, Andy Farley is pretty much universally held to be the top man in hard dance and love them or hate them the likes of Lashes and Savage are hugely popular and well known outside the scene. SB: You recently held the second Annual HarderFaster Party at the Aquarium which was a great success - fantastic line-up, brilliant atmosphere and of course an up-for-it crowd -any more plans to promote more HarderFaster events in the future? Would you ever promote on a regular basis? TA: Shae and I have run two parties now and both times we've spent the weeks running up to them stressing and asking ourselves why the hell we're doing it. I think promoting is one of the toughest jobs out there, my hat off to anyone who does it on a regular or even professional basis. Having said that it is amazingly satisfying to have pulled off a good party and thank you to everyone who came along and especially to those who helped us make it happen, you know who you are. There's a very good chance we'll do another one even if it's only next year's Annual Party although we're toying with the idea of a Christmas get together... watch this space! SB: If you won the lottery tomorrow and had the funds to throw whatever type of event you could, what would you go for? Where would it be held and which DJ’s or style of music would you have playing? TA: Book out the whole of Space (daytime) and Amnesia (nighttime) in Ibiza for a week, fly the entire HarderFaster membership out there for free and give every DJ in the listings a set - fingers crossed on that win SB: How do you manage to keep sane in such a busy industry? Running a successful website, DJ’ing, promoting HarderFaster events and working full-time - what keeps you grounded when you move in such a fast-paced world? What do you do to relax and unwind and do you ever get the opportunity to just put your feet up and kick back? TA: Well as far as keeping sane goes the biggest credit has to go to my girlfriend Shae for making sure I never lost it especially in the early days when it all took off so quickly. Also for coming up with loads of suggestions as well as being the first person I sound off new ideas with. As regards relaxing: snowboarding, hitting the coast in Devon, lying horizontal in the garden with a beer, all the usual sort of stuff I suppose! SB: HarderFaster, and indeed Hard Dance, has a large antipodean following - what is about the site, do you think, that attracts their interest? Do you feel that the scene and the website cater more towards antipodeans in any way? TA: I think the site membership just reflects the balance of antipodeans in the clubs, I don't think the site cater any more or less for them than anyone else to be honest. Although I did try to only use small words and make all the buttons nice and big to make it easier for them SB: Considering the interest from many Australians and Kiwis would you ever venture into taking HarderFaster down under? Would you like to see it go global or do you think that would be a beast too big to handle? TA: Well technically as a website it's already globally accessible of course but as one of the core strengths of the site is that the membership gets to meet each other regularly with it's strong London contingent I think it will always be primarily UK-centric. SB: What have been the best bits of running the site? At the end of the day when you look at all you have accomplished what are the few things that make you smile and know that you have really achieved something unique? TA: Other than the free guestlist spots? Sheesh there's not much else you know Seriously though it's hard to put a finger on it really, big highlights were of course the two parties we did, the satisfaction of looking out over a dancefloor and seeing people having a fantastic time at our event but there's also loads of little things like seeing the site's logo on flyers for events, on the back of record sleeves or CDs, having people come up to me to chat about the site and thank or congratulate me on setting it up, it all adds to a wicked buzz and the general satisfaction of having started something that has meant loads of people have got to know each other through the site, had a wicked time and hopefully made clubland a better place over the last couple of years.
