About Hardmind...
Co-founders Jamie Velasquez (Mindgame) and Howard Grene (How Hard) created Hardmind in 2001. They aimed to revitalize and progress the struggling local rave scene through grass-root music distribution and event production.
Adopting a "do it yourself" attitude, Jamie and Howard took initiative towards making the change they wanted to see in rave culture.
Hardmind aimed to spread a wide variety of aggressive electronic music with a focus on Hardcore, Techno, Acid, and Jungle.
Hardmind strived to be the ultimate representation of the music and culture they hold so close to their hearts.
Hard is Heart...Mind is Strength
To date, all Hardmind DJs have performed throughout the Eastern United States and Canada and have produced and/or contributed to a variety of Northeastern United States events including "The Time Machine", The "Saturday Morning Cartunes" series, "Crush: The First Annual DJ Auction", "Blending Formz", "Dick Clark's New Year's Ravin' Eve", "Unify", and many more. Future goals include continued original music production, solo and collaborative event production, and national tours to expose more people to the sounds and character of Hardmind.
