Ed 'Fire' Barnett started DJ'ing in early 2001 at the tender age of 15. The first records to grace his decks were of the Happy Hardcore variety (96-98 particularly took his fancy). He continued to play this until the summer of 2001 when Hard House shot into his life. This chunky, underground style of Hard House that BK produced grabbed his fancy immediately. It all started from an accidental purchase of a Hard House CD. He spread the word over the next few months at various locations in South Wales. Code Red 2001, being a Hardcore rave, did not openly welcome Hard house. He realised that his future was not in raves anymore and needed a change of scene.
