HTE Recordings

Founded in 2017, Hard Trance Europe was a fresh concept launched by UK Industry worker Nick Coles with a vision to unite the tougher end of the Trance music spectrum. Recently celebrating a milestone of 5 years as a label, not only with a Beatport No 1 record, but also a Hype label of the month accolade from the same World leading download store. Now encompassing over 250+ releases from over 100+ Global artists, support has come thick and fast from scene-leaders such as Ben Nicky, Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Solarstone, Indecent Noise, Scot Project, David Rust, Shugz, Lab4, Dave Pearce, S.H.O.K.K., DJ Wag, Nick The Kid and many many more. Coupled with regular press features in the Trance pages of DJ Mag, DJ Mag (Italy), Mixmag, and DMC World Magazine, HTE has certainly made its mark in a very short space of time, proving also that Hard Trance music very much has a place within the Trance arena. With four coloured divisions catering for everything from the more uplifting sounds, through to Tech Trance, European, Acid, Classic Hard Trance, Freeform and beyond, HTE’s quest for breaking down musical barriers is very much in process. Not to mention winning a lot of interest and fresh demos each week with its eclectic approach and consistent output. The Hard Trance Europe CD Series, now up to Volume 4 has been very well received, especially in Europe, cementing the label further as a reliable and trusted platform for DJ's, clubbers and fans of harder-edged trance sounds. Not satisfied with just being a label, HTE have created an annual UK based weekender event, now in its third year, with overseas fixtures also planned for Ireland, Australia, Ibiza, Holland and the US. HTE have also recently partnered with leading producer platform Loopmasters, with their first sample pack, aptly titled 'Hard Trance Europe' becoming a No 1 best -seller on their site and recommended product in both Computer Music and Future Music Magazine.
