Bold, brash and up all night, hard house was the last blast of club culture before social media fractured it into niches. Born where gay after hours, underground techno and glamorous clubland collided, it filled dancefloors across the UK and beyond, selling more tickets, vinyl and compilations than almost anything else of its era, even as the music press looked the other way. Now, for the first time, the story is told by the people who lived it. In Go Hard Or Go Home, Ed 'Real' Jenkins sits down with 50 key figures, such as BK, Rob Tissera, Lisa Lashes, Tidy Boys, Hannah Laing, Billy Daniel Bunter, Anne Savage, Red Jerry, Allen Torture Garden, Lab 4 and Nik Fish to document the scene. From Trade and Tony De Vit to the first hard house chat forums, this is the story of the last true club community, and its social media-driven reboot post-pandemic.
