Hardt Antoine is a London based Artist. As his name homages his colourful ancestry, - the DJ & Producer of French and West Indian decent, continuously combines his hugely colourful and eclectic taste in music.
When he has to - he describes his sound as 'sexy evolving melodies over deep, dark techno grooves’. In reality the music crosses genres seamlessly between house, techno and broken beats while always showing off his influences of soul, disco, IDM, orchestral music and Detroit techno.
Antoine is a music lover, deep digger and a selector with a very stubborn ear for quality. In the studio he uses a huge variety of production methods to bring his analogue gear to life. He's also not afraid to dig into his vast record collection for samples - don't ask him 'where the kick comes from’!
In 2017 Antoine started Reculture. From the launch the brand became one of London's most respected events and the ethos instantly resonated with everyone attending or involved. The music policy was simple - Antoine booked his favourite acts from across electronic music and curated them into diverse, often unexpected line-ups uniting musical colour and genres.
Guests ranged from , Anja Schneider, Mathew Jonson and Kevin Saunderson to Massimiliano Pagliara, Butch and many others.
2020 saw the launch of the Reculture record label. The release's and music policy is the same as the parties and everything Hardt Antoine does - showcasing sub-genre-free House, Techno & beyond with an eye for quality, detail and musical authenticity.
One year later he co-founded Anemos Dance friends Maglia, Ilias Petrakis and Paris House legend DJ Gregory. The label showcases alternative electronic music made on and inspired by the greek Island of Myknos - an effort to showcase the perhaps less advertised, deeper culture of electronic music within The Island.
Alongside releasing Original Music on his own imprints Antoine has released music on select labels including Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondent, Fort Romeau’s Cin Cin and Labyrinth Records confirming himself as one of Electronic Music’s hottest rising prospects.
