Hard Rock Sofa

House, Electronic Music, Dance Music

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 fourteen-years 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. 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. 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 “Blow Up”, “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, Calvin Harris, Alesso, Example & 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 club-credentials, but has emphasized the many dimensions their sound can cater for.
