Hard Rock Sofa
Few have blazed the trail of Russian dance music quite as comfortably as Hard
Rock Sofa. From Smolensk to the high end of global club land, their fourteenyears
on the beat have not only made for some serious musical landmarks, but a
360-degree success story in making it within the modern industry. While
Alexander Shapovalov amicably left the group in 2015 in order to pursue his solo
project ‘Shapov’, Denis Chepikov continues to produce music under the
powerhouse name that is Hard Rock Sofa. With every release and dance floor
that is shaken, Hard Rock Sofa makes it evident that it represents a peak in
European dance talent – that will only further thrive under Denis’ innovative
direction.
Between BBC Radio One, Sirius XM and a consistent run on the global club and
festival circuit, the Hard Rock Sofa sound has challenged national peers and
global contenders alike to up-the-ante. Case in hand, when “Blow Up” achieved
anthem status, the floodgates formally opened for their industrious leaps and
bounds. Catering to the likes of Spinnin, Warner Music, Universal Music, Axtone,
Protocol and Size Records alike, a who’s who discography of hard-hitting yet
melodic anthems has made such career landmarks as “Here We Go”, “Quasar”,
“Rasputin” and “Get Down” essential not only to their own careers, but the global
dance community and its modern heyday.
Historically prolific on remixes duties, Hard Rock Sofa has turned their hands to
David Guetta, Alesso, Calvin Harris, Example, Style Of Eye & many more.
As one of the first acts of their generation to take their music to the silver screen,
a spot on the soundtrack for “Fast & Furious 6” has not hurt their clubcredentials,
but has emphasized the many dimensions their sound can cater for.
This may be age of universal club advocacy, but with Hard Rock Sofa comes a
far bigger picture of the prospects now available to modern dance artists.
From EDC Chicago to Dance Valley and residencies in XS Las Vegas and Pacha
Ibiza, the duo’s global presence blazed throughout 2013. Joining David Guetta
for his ‘F*** Me, I’m Famous’ parties throughout the summer and racking serious
air miles across North America and Asia, the duos live footsteps echoed that
unstoppable force that has cemented them at the forefront of their craft.
The persistence, passion and versatility of Hard Rock Sofa’s global overhaul is
sure to keep this accomplished producer in high esteem for years to come. From
the North American club circuit and another download site charts right through to the silver
screen, Hard Rock Sofa is poised for domination across the industry spectrum.
