Fireball & Toolbox present
FIREBOX VOLUME ONE

*** PRESS RELEASE ***

2008 is sure to be remembered as a year when Hard House was as good as its ever been, and possibly even better. A year when many labels struggled to make sense of which way to turn and what format to rock their audience with! And a year when the Hard House scene continued to stand strong through sticking together and keeping the scene alive.

Firebox Volume One is just that, the coming together of two the industries major players, fusing together to present one incredible album, one that is sure to become a reminder of exactly how good Hard House was back in 2008!

Mixed by Nik Denton and Ben Stevens, Firebox Volume One showcases both DJs and their own labels, keeping the message very clear: These labels and DJs are on Fire!

Nik Denton and Toolbox cover disc one and as you would expect, the fire burns light to begin with. However, a testament to the diverse sounds of Nik as a DJ and to Toolbox as a label, the disc slips gear several times ending on the harder end of the Toolbox scale. This mix concentrates on the newer material on Toolbox and includes several exclusive remixes that will be released later in 2009.

Legend Ben Stevens and his irresistible Fireball imprint look after proceedings on disc two, showcasing the labels impressive first year in the industry, as well as a selection of forthcoming tracks that are waiting in the side lines ready for release in 2009! Bens flawless mixing and Fireballs strengthy blend of uplifting hooks and charging beats dominate this disc from start to finish!

If there was ever a reason to fall in love with Hard House, this is it!

Includes tracks and remixes from: Ben Stevens, Nik Denton, Dom Sweeten, Andy Farley, Riggsy, Rodi Style, Lucy Fur, Paul Maddox, Captain Tinrib, Adam M, Amber D, Illogik, and many more
