- Hey, thanks for dropping by for another installment of Hardcore History where this month, we take a look at the works of DJ Brisk.
Join me for this mini documentary and a story the goes back to the late 80s through the UK Hardcore scene and beyond.
We learn how DJ Brisk has taken his talent and brought it right up to date with a new concept, not only for himself as a DJ but also as the head of a tight knit community.
This is one legend of the Happy Hardcore scene that you will enjoy learning about.

Brisk is one of a very small number of hardcore artists who has never made, played or put out a shit tune. He doesn't hide from the fact the he makes his tunes with somebody else and doesn't try to claim the glory for himself like some producers do.
Next Generation records is the greatest hardcore label of all time and Ham is the best hardcore producer of all time. I always wondered why Ham never got the recognition he deserved and never really got booked at big raves.
He’s a very down to earth bloke @Some Bloke.
Its awful that Ham never got thr props he deserved, hence why he moved to the D&B scene
Made some big dnb tunes under the Hamilton guise
@@rsturbo4018 was just about to say the same. Don't think too many people know that ham is dab Hamilton
late 90's early 00's was some of the best time of my life. You just can't recreate that time or experience but these videos help to do that.
I sometimes wish I could go back. It was a much simpler time back then. I think the biggest decision I had to make back then was whether to go out Friday, Saturday or both 😆
I agree. Best time of my life. Best music and raves and just having fun.
I am LOVING these Hardcore History videos, cheers!
Thanks Sidney. Glad you are enjoying the videos. Next on is in the making as we speak 👍
Eye Opener. I See* what you did their haha Brisk n Trixxy - Eye Opener.
You caught me 😂
DJ brisk sent me
But was it worth it or is he in the bad books now? 😉
It was a blast for me from the past, loved it
Me too 🎉
Welcome Spice T. Enjoy the videos mate. More to come soon 👍
Dj ravine has been killing it aswel
I love Ravine. Been following him for years now.
I remember one night at Kinetic, me and the lads were mashed up on the right hand side of the dj box. Raving away like crazy, when I stopped for a breather this guy said to me, loving aint ya mate I said yeah I love it here mate its my life. He said fucking sound.,,,He said listen I'm gonna be resident here from next week my names Dj Brisk. We shook hands had a quick chat then back to raving. Such a sound guy and definitely one of the best.
Can't wait for Scott Brown!!! I spin Elysium every set! Grammer is who really got me into Happy and UK Hardcore and he's still creating some really cool hardcore hybrid stuff.
Teambrisk amazing community we’ve got on twitch
Agree with you Emma. I’ve stopped in a few times and it’s always been a very inclusive and welcoming community.
@@stuartkmusic I most probably welcomed you in 😄
My girl emz 🤩 coooont
@@LianneMurphy 😂😂❤️
Best community ever!
DEFO get Ham on!
Would love to get him on. He is on the list 👍
5:04 brisk a legend and ham a legend
I see that Dire Straits Brothers in Arms album @ :58! Gives me vibes of my vinyl shelf... hardstyle, hhc, makina, classic rock...
It’s changed quite a bit since then and the unit has now made its way upstairs. My classic rock & pop now has its own space in the dining room.
Not much room on those shelves any more for my civilised listening thanks to my local record dealer. 😆
Teambrisk 🤩 gonna take over the world 🌎
This was amazing thanks so much for this ❤️
Thank you Lianne for popping by. Team Brisk for the win 😉
Seen him a few years ago bk in Stoke on Trent.... hope he's coming home soon as I will be there 👍👍
I may even consider a trip up to Stoke myself if he did 👍
He will be back again 👍👍
I love this channel found out about it yesterday... i'm in the USA but am a total hardcore head. I do enjoy the harder styles Angerfist is banging and DJ anime is Hot. all jokes aside I do enjoy hard stuff but for short periods of time ... which is why i think Kutski has the winning formula with his Hardest Track in the World Right now segment in his shows it exposes people to that without over doing it by doing a 60+ minute hard show. I mean i can listen to hard stuff when i'm pissed playing video games but my ears enjoy the polyphonic synths and melodies more.
Glad to have you here @Zach W. Welcome to my little corner of CZcams 👍
I still can't believe the late great Stu Allan has passed. What a guy god bless him. Big ups on the hardcore tutorial ✊🏻
@DJ MASTERGROOVE Stu Allan video will be coming very soon 👍
Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are very welcome Nicole 🤩
wow amazing JOB love Dj Brisk and Stimulant Dj's the legendary Insomnia 2. My first discovery. Now im friend with hundreds Dj BRISK team Dj's :)
Thanks Kestutis. 🤩 Glad you enjoyed the video
Came across Brisk back in the day via Eternity magazine. Loved his different style to run the two tracks for such a long time. Cheers for the interesting video.
He definitely has been a huge name in the scene for a lot of years and I love what he does now with Twitch. One thing we always had in our scene was community and I love that Brisk has evolved it into an online community.
TeamBrisk for life! Come to the Twitch side. We have snacks.
Scott brown :-) Nice :-) Brisk is a legend :-) Great video
Thanks QFX Video. Glad you enjoyed it.
Never seen anything like an in-depth video covering this fundamental side of Dance Music and I have subbed on the strength of that opening alone.
I'm here for this 🙂
Thanks @onlyonewhyphy and welcome to the channel 👍
#1 DJ
You know it 👍
@@stuartkmusic init brah
Goddamn, this video just appeared in my feed out of the blue and I subscribed immediately! Can't wait to watch more from your channel!!
Thanks for the sub Pete and welcome to the channel.
Brisk was a legend.
Still is mate and a genuinely nice guy as well. 👍
Great video keep these going please. I took some time out from the scene although always kept a toe in the water and dj/mixed at home. But I found brisks streams on FB and his FB group back then. Got to meet a great bunch of folk that I am still friends with in the virtual world to this day. I even (with Paul's help and backing) put together a few community mixes which still sit on soundcloud, where 15 or so of us mixed 2 tracks each and created a 2 hr mix. I then started my own streaming journey and am a proud member of team brisk.
All in all Paul is one of the good guys and has had a positive impact on a lot of people's lives.
He certainly is one of the good guys. To be honest, had a lovely chat with him this morning and it cemented it in my mind that he is a generally nice bloke and the things he has done to bring talent to the forefront is fantastic.
The community mix sounds interesting. Sounds like an online version of back 2 back DJing. Is it on your SC mate or will it be hidden in Brisk's huge list of uploads? 😂
@Stuart-K Music is here mate under the community mixes. Yeah back to back online essentially. The mix gets added to and sent on to the next in line. Keeping the audio quality in check was a challenge 😆
Saw you in the comments there
Very entertaining video dude. Brisk really stood out during 94/95 with his style... I always stomped to his sets at the Dreamscapes, amazing breaks n bouncy techno times
Thanks Tim. Glad that I could bring back some good memories
Love Brisk great video thanks mate
Thanks Dan. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
What a great idea this is! I was watching a documentary the other day on amazon about the early jungle and d&b scene and thought it would be great to do one following the happy hardcore scene and some of the artists. Keep up the good work mate. Will watch the others after work tonight :-)
Thanks Justin. Glad you enjoyed the video. Plenty more on the way 👍
best title, fun history of the legend!
Thanks Jeff. Was it an eye opener for you too? 😉
@@stuartkmusic Yeah I felt I had angel eyes watching it.
Great video, love Brisk, amazing DJ, would be great to see him back in the UK more
Thanks Andrew and me too. 👍
@@stuartkmusic Never say never!
Is that a @DJBrisk exclusive? 🤔😂
Totally agree on the seperate ham vid. Looking forward to it✌️
100% @the troof. I’ve got him on the list and I’m looking forward to that one myself 👍
the uk imported house and just went of the fucking rails and made so many styles of music it is wild.
Favourite DJ. Brisk & Jazzy Jeff.
Now that would be a B2B set I’d love to see.
Brisk drove from south coast to stoke for the his residency at Club Kinetic
Happy to hard for Scott brown, another great instalment , love the flyers bring back memories.
Some good Info on brisk , keep them coming
Thanks Gavin. Scott Brown definitely does both very well and I will be taking a look at both sides for the video.
@@stuartkmusic the q-tex days were where it all started for me, always had a dream of producing,
Never did although I do mess about on with music creation on Nintendo switch and music 2000 on PlayStation 1,
Check out if you ever get chance
So you’re a bit of a trance head as well it seems. Was actually watching an old interview at the weekend from the Q-Tex days with Scott Brown.
@@stuartkmusic best days in my opinion pal, when he’s creativity began
A top video good content. Subscribed and about to watch everything else you have done now 👌🏻
Thanks Mikey Martin. Hope you enjoy the rest and there's more to come 😉
Keep up the good work.Maximum respect
Cheers Tom. Appreciate it mate.
@@stuartkmusic No worries bro.I was there in the 90,s.Helter skelter,dreamscape,fusion, adrenaline, kinetic,rezerection, etc.Days gone by and sorely missed
Very sorely missed indeed. I was actually down by Souldrop the other week and stopped by the old Castaways/Milwaukees site. I heard there is a Sanctuary reunion in June/July this year as well. Just not sure I can party like I did in the 90s 😂
Love your video - I've been a mad Brisk fan for years and thanx cause I def learnt even more about the legend of Brisk.. Looking forward to your next vids mate. Great concept and you obviously know your biz when it comes to the culture. Keep it hardcore m8 peace!!! Russell Dair
I’m glad you enjoyed the video Russell. I wouldn’t say necessarily that I know the biz just yet but I’m learning more with each video.
That was the main reason for starting this, to learn more about the guys who made our nights out special. By putting out the videos I’m getting the bonus of chatting with like minded people as we share our combined knowledge to document the legends of our scene. The lack of information on them is surprising when you go to look.
Great video mate, really well edited and kept me engaged to the end so no drop off from me. 😉 I treasure my Brisk tapes, most from around '94 onwards when he was bossing Bouncy Techno at Skelter and Dreamscape etc. 💥 This was so informative too as I'd slipped outta touch on where he's at since the move to OZ so nice one man! Keep up the good work. 👍
Thank you @SlapDashVideos. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. I’m learning this whole video creation thing 1 DJ at a time. It’s been a hell of a learning curve as I have never written, filmed or edited much of anything before. 😂 I think my personal interest in the scene helps the content a lot and I love researching as much as I can about these guys.
New video is coming soon 😉
@@stuartkmusic Fair play bro. It's a crazy fun hobby with so much to constantly learn, so you're doing great already mate. 🙂 I really want to do a video series on my massive tape pack collection but I'd get slapped with copyright claims or worst, a strike using any music played from them. 😕
Brilliant work mate. I hope you do the whole Hardcore Scene.
I’m working my way around slowly but surely mate. Got another big one coming next.
@@stuartkmusicNice one, definitely looking forward to hearing Hixxy's.
A few other that would be great to see -
Stompy, Vinylgroover, Seduction, Daydream, Slipmatt.
All superb suggestions. I will get them added to the list. 👍
also Marc Smith, Dj sharkey, cloudskipper, etc...
Great shouts. I’ll make sure they are added to the list 😉
Love these vids! Got most of my old tapes still. Got a random copy... of a copy of a set from Brisk and MC Robbie Dee. Don't know the event but one of my favourite tapes ever.
I bet that is a good tape @Darius Evil Twin. Glad you’re enjoying the videos mate 👍
I love stumbling on stuff like this by pure accident....or is it...?!?! Right up my street, my bag etc. I have subscribed and will look forward to more content. Club Kinetic was my local club, I lived about 20 mins drive or so away from it - so I had the distinct pleasure of seeing Brisk on multiple occasions, he was an absolute crowd fav and his mixing was incredible. I remember one night he was on first being the resident DJ and I started dancing before I'd even took my jacket off or got settled in, such was the motivation to just get into it that Brisk could muster. Absolute legend and brilliant bloke to boot.
He lived in Southampton, but came 3+ hours up north to play at the legendary Leisure Bowl. He was adored there by the legions of Stokies and others coming to sample the magic of the Kinetic vibe! Connie on the mic..."you've got to get on the right lines!". Wicked :)
He certainly is a crowd pleaser and I only wish I got to see him live. To see him at Kinetic would have been the cherry on top.
Glad you found us Colin and glad you’re enjoying the videos so far 👍👍
I had the full collection of sinful sauces miss those
Great work! My rave experiences are in the 2000's when hardcore was reborn with the new sound. Brisk was easily one of my favorites during this period because I interpreted his style almost like a hybrid between the vocal Upfront stuff from Breeze/Styles, mixed with the speed of Freeform and the raw edge of Gabba. Even today he loves mixing his styles. Love his work with Ham as the Stimulant DJs too.
I’m getting to be a bit of a regular to his online streams @AKA. He plays such a variety it’s hard for me to not be there.
@@stuartkmusicLove what he's doing right now with his setup. His Trance/Hard House streams got me through the covid lockdowns!
Thanks for video!
Thank you for watching 👍
Favourite!
Thanks Chris
Would love to see a video on Ham as well as one about Hixxy
I definitely think I’m going to have to do one on Ham. Hixxy is coming next 👍
@@stuartkmusic he’s one of the DJs that’s overlooked even though he made some amazing tunes with Brisk & would be great to know more about him.
Was sad when they stopped the hot sauce. Whole collection was awesome.
@Sean Lyle I can only wish that I had tried it. That was completely new information to me at the time of making the video. I love hot sauce.
Stimulant DJs rocked heavy
Still do in my house mate. The neighbours love me 🤦♂️
Come and see me on Twitch every Saturday for Stimulant Sessions! twitch.tv/djbrisk
Breakbeat hardcore right uptil the later 90's happier 4/4 stuff was my bread and butter growing up as a child/teen -Brisk always was in my top 3 Djs throughout then! Over the years moving into different styles and tastes i stil massively rate Brisk and would happily say (regardless if it's noted) he honestly is one of the most gifted Djs with the way he mixes his tracks and holds them together for ages 👍 Decent video also and thank you for chatting all things rave too ☺💚👊
Thanks pigeon. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Quality💯i strted watching these in order as of yestday,,one of the things I love bout his sets is he always seems to play hardcore faster(hhc in particular)than most,,,as aforementioned I will always try to av @ least one suggestion & thanx to this video I remembered somebody very underrated in the scene I grew up in & tht is The V.A.G.A.B.O.N.D./Euphoria,,,,seems like it will be more difficult than the bigger names in the scene but hope you are up to the challenge,,,,,like ham ive nevr heard a mix or set by them & wish I could see him play a rave etc,,,,,,keep doing what your doing🤜🏼🤛🏻p.s. love the humorous touch to these vidz yo
Cheers buddy. His sets can be quite Brisk can’t they 😉 I love Vagabonds stuff as well and I’d be up for that challenge 👍
@@stuartkmusic awwesome,,def will also being looking forward to the mix you include for that one as I haven’t heard any of yours(Yet!)but ya in my nearly 13 yrs of raving/going to events in the bay area(northern calfornia)rarely hav I heard anything of his played unfortunately; anywy my favorites are ‘open the void’ & ‘too beautiful’ but the guy has sucha good discography in general,,,i could talk bout hhc/ukhc stuff for hours lol
these vids are awesome man id love to see one on dj ham
Thanks @djadman1075. Ham is most certainly on my hit list 👍
Another great video, I'd love to see you do one about Clarkee.
You got it @Dale Martin. He's on the list 👍
Thanks mate :) only just seen this haha, another interesting and great video! Absolutely loved next generation records so many great classics on the lable! Brisk is a legend I mean eye opener one of the best happy hardcore tracks ever produced! I would love to know more about some of the producers that stayed in the background including the likes of trixxy and Justin time to name a couple 😊 thanks for the video mate
Interesting you should mention Trixxy as I was thinking something similar the other day. I will get them both added to the list. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
@@stuartkmusic yea man trixxy made and engineered on a shit load of stormers
Trixxy is a must. Also vinylgroover.
Thought brisk always came into his own on the digital nights at kinetic or playing a bit harder at steam or deathrow etc. He was up there with producer, Clarkee and HMS mixing wise.
Kinetic has always had a soft spot in my heart and Brisk at Kinetic was a guaranteed banger.
Do a vid on stormtrooper or dj kurt plz, 🙏 maybe one on producers , BANG! would be a good start.
Love these ideas @the troof. Got Stormtrooper and Kurt on the list. Bang! Is getting added as we speak 👍
Attended Brisk's Birthday at Kinetic. Cracking night from what I remember
I bet it was. Loved Kinetic.
@stuartkmusic there was no place like it mate
We need to share and get onboard with promoting HHH. It's a shame they aren't longer in duration.
Thanks @Saturn Returns. I really appreciate the support you have all given me so far in this journey. Would you not get bored of me rabbiting on if they were longer?
@@stuartkmusicnot me anyway. You are the only person who is doing the histories of the HH culture.
I've been recently re-buying 90s dance magazines. I had absolutely tonnes of them back then and was subscribed to every publication. Thing is to buy them back it's nearly £20-25 a mag. They are worth it though, the rave reviews, interviews, they are time-capsules of the times. I was rather obsessed with Rezerection until that idiot bought the name in 2004 and ran it into the ground. 🤣 That's another story for another day 🙂
@Saturn Returns I know what you mean with the mags. I’ve looked into it as another source of information for the videos. The same can be said for the vinyl that I am trying to replace from my old collection (I was silly I know! Should have kept hold of them)
@@stuartkmusic if there is any articles of interest you need I can scan them and send them down.
Cheers @Saturn Returns. That would be amazing. If you have Facebook or IG, give me a nudge over there if you don’t mind. I would definitely be interested in taking you up on your generous offer 👍
Mate if you want to go in. “Why do people not respect Druid like they should”. Let’s talk about all the great producers that have been shafted for the status quo” “who remembers 99-03 when it wasn’t cool? Or just exactly why is DJ D-Lyte not in the conversation when it comes to best DJ in genre? Loving this though. My suggestion would be a Fade and Robbie long and Dave deva follow up :-)
Fantastic ideas there. I’m going to add them all to the list because I hadn’t even thought about the likes of Robbie Long or Devastate. Great call 👍
Do a Bass Generator one please 🙏
Great shout @Shift Nights. I’ll make the addition the the list 👍
His head bobbing left to right is awesome
It's making me sea sick
😂 I get a little animated when I’m talking about HHC 😂
Please please MC storm best and still.number 1 hardcore MC
Another video I have thoroughly enjoyed. Well done mate. Smashing these 100% don't forget to check out The Couture 303 Podcast here on CZcams..New episodes coming soon.
I wouldn’t say I’m smashing it yet but I like to think there is something I improve on with each video. I got you on the pod. On my way over now 😉
Get vinylgroover on!
I'd like to see a video on callan bright aka MC bee from ultimate buzz or Kirk Turnbull from qfx
I think we might be able to sort that out. I’ll get them added to the list 👍
Hello. Is there a link to the SoundCloud mix?
Hey Matthew. All the mixes are on Mixcloud. Mixcloud.com/stuartkmusic
@@stuartkmusic that's great many thanks for the link I'll look forward to the next video.
Wait brisk lives here???? Wtf
Will you make a video about S3RL?
I actually don’t have S3RL on my list which is a crime I think. I’ll get him added now 😉
@@stuartkmusic Wow! Add him ASAP. I listen to s3rl from 2011 or 2012 and he's still on fire!
And his music videos, they're insane 😂
You got it Sergio. Do love a bit of S3RL myself 👍
No Brisk music.. lol
Can u do jimmy j and vinylgroover ple . Hixxy coming massive also wotsee . Please pleasr do not do sy
I went to brisk at devotion @goldiggers chippingham good dj
