The forthcoming WiLDCHiLD & Frantic event has been the talk of the forums recently seeing frenzied activity in a bid to break all previous HarderFaster “Who’s Going Where” records.
With all the speculation as to which event held that record we decided to investigate the rankings and ask WiLDCHiLD & Frantic what made their joint event attract so much interest.
The HarderFaster “Who’s Going Where” feature was introduced in mid 2002 and “Add Me” has become the battle cry of promoters and supporters alike.

Matt recalls discussing this feature with Tom quipping that he was thinking it woud be good knowing who was going where so he could avoid people Little did we realise that this feature would develop into such an key tool, just one of the many things that gives HarderFaster its totally unique appeal to the clubbing community.
In the early days there would often be only one or two attendees per event. These days we regularly see 50 or more. Several people have asked which event held the record so we’ve beavered away to bring you...

Here’s what WiLDCHiLD & Frantic had to say about their phenomenally successful partnership, and what we can expect from them this Saturday..
Arena 1 – WiLDCHiLD & Frantic – Trance Vs Hard House
This is the real deal, taking no prisoners - Frantic & Wildchild come face to face once more. As the heavyweights square up for this battle of immense proportions between the True Power of the Hard House Heroes against the awesome might of the Trance Pioneers.
There’s plenty of diversity on offer in the main arena from BK’s hardnosed techno and hard house stylings to JFK’s unbeatable trance energy, and no doubt plenty of bouncy action from Frantic’s one and only Andy Whitby, and of course Lisa Pin-Up.
If that’s not enough check out Tidy’s finest Paul Glazby lining up head-to-head with Wildchild’s very own Reece Elliot.
Completing the awesome array of talent in Arena 1, that old Frantic Favourite Phil Reynolds follows on from his spellbinding end-of-night set at the recent Hard House Academy with another headlining set, and finally Passion Resident Andy Bagguley & Trance man of the moment, Mr. Mike Koglin!!!
Arena 2 – Frantic & WiLDCHiLD – Hard House & Techno
Witness ground-breaking Live Acts rip through the speakers as they compete against the Hard Dance legends in this ultimate Battle of DJ -v- Live PA.Who will be the winner??
It’s all about the Live PA in Arena 2 from Nuw Idol’s invigorating hard dance anthems to Dave The Drummer’s brutal techno, from The Organ Donors hard trance beats, to the act of the night you’ve all been waiting to hear – Captain Tinrib’s WORLD EXCLUSIVE CLASSICS PA LIVE!
Add to this the deck wizardry on display from the one and only Ilogik, square him up alongside the kings of London’s Hard Dance scene, Karim & Ian M, and you’ve got an amazing array of hard-edged talent on show.
WiLDCHiLD’s legendary lady Little Gem is set to make an awesome last set appearance b2b with London Hero Lucy Fur. 5am-6am in this Arena will see these two battling it out – worth the ticket price alone! Not to be missed.
Adding a touch of International Flavour to the Awesome Arena 2, Brazilian Eduardo Herrera welcomes great British hopeful Future Sound Of Elvis and No Limits’ very own Paul Divine to the stage!
Arena 3 - Hardcore ‘Til I Die - Hardcore all the way
Arena 3 brings together one of the finest hardcore line-ups seen in the capital for years - this room is going to go off in a major way!
Frantic and WiLDCHiLD are proud to present THE most exciting live PA in hard dance and beyond…the awesome CLSM. Hard dance pioneer Jon Doe’s highly innovative hardcore outfit combine the best elements of hardcore, drum ‘n’ bass, and hard dance, with explosive results. Their last appearance at the SeOne included a large game of volleyball with the crowd, CD giveaways, bizarre masks, cue cards, carrots…oh yeah, and plenty of excellent music. If you only see one live PA this year…make sure it’s these guys. Unlike anything else around!
