There are so many superlatives in which to accurately describe Andy Farley, but his global reputation as one of the most sought after artists is probably the highest accolade you can achieve. A hectic appearance schedule in 2008 included headlining the mighty and world renowned Tidy Weekenders, a multi-gig tour of Australia and New Zealand and countless events including festivals and massive club nights both in the UK and abroad. 2009 sees no respite in demand for him; already this year he delivered a much acclaimed nine hour set at Birmingham’s renowned Custard Factory, (home of Deprivation where he is resident) and confirmed dates include a headline appearance at Tidy’s Magna event as well as overseas bookings from Norway to San Francisco. Other residencies include award-winning promotions such as Frantic, Party Proactive and Hookd, the latter winning Harder Faster’s “best new club” award for 2008.

Fans, many of whom think nothing of travelling the length and breadth of the UK and beyond to see him perform, affectionately describe Andy Farley as “The God Father of Hard House”; his unquestionable technical ability, knowledge and passion of the hard-dance scene is the envy of many and goes some way in explaining his huge popularity amongst a wide cross-section of today’s audiences.

Describing his talents behind the decks is only part of the story; Andy’s production credits includes a vast back catalogue of anthems, albums and collaborations with the likes of Technikal, Base Graffiti, Paul Maddox, Frank Farrell, Ben Townsend, Ben Stevens and Paul Glazby. Heavy weight labels such as Tidy Trax and Vicious Circle regularly sign Andy’s work, while his own Cubed Recordings label is a platform to showcase the distinct Farley sound, which continually evolves to deliver cutting edge floor fillers.

With a career that spans nearly two decades, Andy Farley’s reputation continues to flourish; his modesty hides a true genius that makes him a promoters dream come true. Andy Farley really is hard house at its best.
