Hardline founder DJ Cosworth comes to The Croft for a defining All Night Long, journeying through UKG, House, Speedy G, Hardgroove and more.

As a DJ, producer, label boss, designer and online record store co-founder, Bristol-based DJ Cosworth has become an integral and multi-disciplined outlet for unfettered club culture. His music sounds like the amalgam of every white-label record shop find, connecting and mashing up any number of sounds heard in UK Garage, Organ House, Speed Garage, Dembow and Hardgroove into a bare-bones body workout. Spending years digging on YouTube and Discogs has resulted in club music that knowingly absorbs its history and drips with a dark, dubby vapour. Between his main alias and more wrist-wafting tunes as Vibes Kartel, Cosworth has released on Hot Haus, E-Beamz, Locked On Records and his own label Hardline.

As head honcho of Hardline, his label traffics in “no-nonsense club music” and has platformed the likes of Interplanetary Criminal, Dylan Fogarty, Amor Satyr and Silva Bumpa. Not just a label, Hardline has also visually extended into a clothing line designed by Cosworth himself and part of a growing vinyl distribution empire, Untitled Distribution, in collaboration with fellow Bristol label ec2a.
