It's a powerful reminder of how quickly everything can change, and sets the tone for an honest conversation about resilience, perspective and what really matters after decades in the game.From there, the conversation shifts into Rob's journey through the hard house scene. Unlike the meteoric rise experienced by some DJs, Rob reflects on his steady, long-term career and why that slower trajectory can sometimes be easier to manage mentally. He talks about the importance of having the right people around you, not just hype, but honest voices who push you to improve.There are also classic stories from the road, including encounters with global superstars and behind-the-scenes moments that show a different side of the industry. Rob shares how genuine curiosity and respect, even from the biggest names, can leave a lasting impression, reinforcing the culture's foundation.Paul and Rob also revisit iconic moments from the scene, from wild tour stories to the origins of DJ names and unforgettable nights on the south coast. It's a reminder that hard house wasn't just about the music; it was about the community, the chaos, and the characters that defined an era.This is more than a catch-up; it's a reflection on survival, longevity and staying grounded in a scene that has constantly evolved.Join the HistoryWhat’s your favourite Rob Tissera memory or track?Were you there for the Rise or Tidy era?Drop your stories in the comments and tag a mate you used to rave with.Subscribe to Hardhouse History and help us keep the culture alive.#HardhouseHistory #RobTissera #UKHardHouse #RaveCulture #TidyTrax #HardDance #90sRave #ClubCulture #PaulGlazby #DanceMusicHistory
