    image.pngOne of the London Hard Dance scene's brightest young talents, Seany Sean's name has been on many a clubbers lips in 2005 (for one reason or another!) with loads of sets for Frantic, as well as his wicked co-promotion 123 rocking the capital on a regular basis. I chatted with the man himself ahead of his NYD/Birthday set at Genesis @ Koko in London...

    So Seanston, how was your 2005? Pretty fucking immense from what I could gather!

    Good day beef! 2005 has been the nuts for me, I have partied harder than ever and spun more disks to nutters than I can remember, or maybe that was the partying? It's been the tits!

    How far has your DJing progressed in these 12 months? You've had loads of gigs, that's for sure - and what were your most enjoyable gigs from 2005?

    From DJing so regularly for so many great parties and promotions my confidence behind the decks has skyrocketed and I have found a true freedom of expression during live sets, (dex and fx eh Benz). Shit! Just checked HarderFaster for my sets this year. So many jump out at me, but of those playing at HHA twice was amazing 1st was with Elvis, who smacks it and everyone knows how much fun we had that night for Future. The second with the big man himself Gordon Darley, warming the foyer for Steve Maynard was the nuts. Rammed with stompin' ravers by 10! Win! But as well as Frantic all the gigs for the new blood of hard dance were amazing too 123, Prehab, Zoology, Shiva and of course Summit!

    Which tunes repeatedly smacked it for you this year? What were the tunes that had the punters running up to you and demanding to know the name? The ones you just couldn't stop playing? etc etc

    Colin Barratt's Follow Me remix jumps out immediately - everyone loved that techy Banger. As a whole the Riot! Recordings have caused a shit load of interest when played, Playing with Knives and Come On Baby got a good response all year. Definitely about the tuff mixes.

    And what about 2006? What have you got planned for the forthcoming year?

    Can't wait mate, as well as trying to outdo myself on the partying, I'm well looking forward to carrying on with my club night 123. It's all going well and my partners are so determined to take it to the next level and confirm it as one of London's best parties. DJ-wise I look forward to playing more for the brilliant Frantic - there is always a story there and the music is always great, get your swerve on indeed (Gordon Darley quote), as well as getting stuck into some Ableton Live and production to make my sets even more interesting. I have so many things in my head I want to play with and 2006 is gonna release the beast and shit loads of mix CDs, Be prepared!

    You mention you're going to get into production, what kind of sounds will you be coming out with?

    I love big and groovy and I'm gonna have the means to get my ideas down. I also love the filth, Lucy Fur, Steve Maynard, have smacked it all year and for those in the know Look out for the Champions of the North Andy Rise and Matt Pickup. Well looking forward to whipping some tracks with them. Woosh, pselect and woof!

    We see you've been nominated to represent HarderFaster at the Hard Dance Awards 2006 in February, what's this all about and how comes you're in the running?

    Yeah mate! I was nominated by my good friend Scottish Dave to represent Harder Faster, and without my knowledge! It gives a DJ the opportunity to play at one of the years biggest parties. The winner will be voted for by users of www.harderfaster.net, So if you are coming down to the Hard Dance Awards and want too hear some goooood shit VOTE FOR SEANY SEAN! (shameless)  

    NYD sees you down at Koko in London for Genesis - Frantic's first bash of 2006. Are you going to have a big one on NYE or will you be fresh faced for this event?

    Can't decide! It's me Birthday too on New Years Dy so even if I do stay in and have a quiet one it's gonna be messy! Not gonna say any more in e I get you giving it the old thought you were..etc?, I know your game Benz! Ha ha

    You are playing with rising production star Ben Bennett - what can we expect from you two goons?

    Stuff and indeed, things!

    Who else on the line-up will you be stomping to?

    Want to hear Ed Real he is so bound to bring out some special New Years Madness to Camden (Koo). But we are playing at the same time. I'm gonna be in and out! Get that Bennett!

    And then what about after that? What time can we expect you to keep going until?

    God knows, I'll be with Steelo, Bennett and you!

    Uh oh
