Hydraulix is a Hard Techno label based in the UK run by D.A.V.E. The Drummer. It has been going for over 20 years. The label started in the heady days of 1998 when London was having huge illegal raves every weekend, nobody had iPhones, the internet was still on a 56k dial up, Vinyl was the ONLY format available and Facebook & Twitter did not exist.
Hydraulix has been on a mission to push the boundaries of what we call techno, or even what we call “Acid Techno” if you like. The label was part of the illegal party scene in London and is synonymous with Stay Up Forever and the Liberator DJs and the London free party scene. Hydraulix early releases were pioneered by D.A.V.E. the Drummer alongside many DJ friends and collaborators, pushing a new sound for the London scene, less acid more techno.
Some of Hydrauix releases have become modern classics, the old vinyl fetching a pretty penny on discogs and the newset releases still featuring in somme top DJs sets.
