Harri Intro: Harri is perhaps the most the influential DJ to ever emerge out of Glasgow’s vibrant underground house scene. In a career that spans nearly 20 years, Harri has remained three steps ahead of almost every other DJ but always perfectly in step with his dancefloor. In the eighties he taught Glasgow how to dance to his beat, first at the Sub Club then at the UFO Club alongside Jon Dasilva (Hacienda) and Lars Sandberg (Funk D'Void). However, it was Atlantis, a weekly night he ran with Slam at the Sub Club between 1990 and 1994, that assured Harri’s status as one of the most important DJs in the world. Since then Harri has forged one the most prolific DJing partnerships ever with Domenic Cappello (Seventh Sign, Hutton Drive). Their weekly night, Subculture, the flagship Saturday night at the Sub Club, is internationally regarded as one of the most credible and forward thinking club nights in the world.
For the last 20 years, week in week out, Harri has delivered the freshest and most intoxicating house-based music to the clued-up and passionate crowd at the legendary Sub Club (Glasgow) as well as headline slots to the most credible dancefloors the world over. Yet Harri is not simply a house-pioneer. His life long commitment to making people dance and the unique relationship he has with his crowd, means that Harri has never lost touch with the way that music (and people’s responses to it) has progressed. Having seen house music morph from an underground subculture in the late eighties to a global corporate superbrand in the nineties before getting its almighty comeuppance in almost fairy tale fashion in the naughties, Harri has never sold out or brought in to fickle trends or dubious media hype. As such, while commercial club music (prefixed by the word ‘super’) quickly became irrelevant, Harri was already paving the way for the scene’s underground rebirth which we’re beginning to enjoy today.Starting out as a reggae DJ, Harri was quick to spot the musical potentials when house music started arriving in Scotland. His first residency at the Sub Club, a night called Beatbox, began in 1986 where Harri would play rare groove, hip-hop and early house music coming out of America. At around this time he also started doing monthly Saturdays at the Sub alongside Graham Wilson (Nightcrawlers). However, it was the short lived but massively influential UFO night that Harri did with Jon Dasilva from the Hacienda and Lars Sandberg (AKA Funk D'Void) at the now defunct Tin Pan Alley venue in Glasgow that propelled Harri and Scotland onto the dance music radar in the late eighties. In 1990 Harri joined forces with a couple of local lads named Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle (Slam), to launch the Sub Club’s flagship Saturday night, Atlantis. It achieved instant notoriety when, three weeks after launching, the Stone Roses were spotted there after their infamous last gig in Glasgow in 1990. Altantis ran for four years, establishing the Sub Club as a mecca for lovers of real underground house music as well as the club of choice for the most important international DJs and the city’s clued-up clubbers. In 1994 Harri and Slam parted company after Slam became more interested in the harder techno sound that they are now famous for. At this time Harri brought in rising star Domenic Cappello (Seventh Sign, Hutton Drive) and Subculture was born. While Atlantis may have kick-started the underground house movement in Scotland, Subculture kept it sounding fresh and credible, a role the night continues to perform nearly 12 years on.
As a producer, Harri’s output has been prolific receiving widespread critical acclaim and relative commercial success. His 1997 hit “I feel good things for you” (Go! Beat) recorded under the monicker Daddy’s Favourite, propelled Harri into the charts and onto the house compilations. Back in 1994, Harri found his way into the late John Peel’s Festive 50 when his H-Foundation production ‘Liaka’ came in at number 12. More recently he has recorded as the Pa Pa Washington Trio on Paper Recordings. His 2002 single “Calling all dancers” (Paper) was licensed to at least eight compilations and was one of Paper’s biggest selling records that year. Since then he has been recording as Harri & The Revenge (with Graeme Clark of Hong Kong Micros and Five 20 East Recordings) with releases on Deep Freeze, Nordic Trax, and Bosh Records and forthcoming releases and mixes for Jay Tripwire and Flygaric Records.Yet it is his enormous contribution to the art of DJing, of translating raw patterns of sound into something dynamic and irresistibly engaging that anyone who’s encountered Harri will be struck by. Whether it’s at his near 20 year weekly residency at the Sub Club, his five year residency with Kenny Hawkes at Plastic People in London (1996-2001) or his many visits to hotspots around the globe, Harri never fails to engage with his crowd by delivering music that transcends musical boundaries and feels relevant and cutting edge without descending into self-indulgence. His energetic style combined with his technical virtuosity and passion for the music he plays, places Harri amongst the greats of electronic music and one of only a handful of people with the credentials and musical understanding to take you from Todd Terry to Solid Groove and everything in between.
