Hixxy, or DJ Hixxy, (real name Ian Hicks, born 1975) is a British disc jockey and electronic music producer known for his innovative work in the UK happy hardcore scene, co-founding the Raver Baby record label, and the Bonkers compilation album series.

Hixxy began performing as a disc jockey at age 15 under the mentorship of DJ Ramos, and quickly became known on the English rave circuit.

Hixxy came to prominence in 1995 when he and DJ Sharkey released their track "Toytown", which is considered "a classic of the genre, a riot of scruffy breaks and sugar-sweet vocals that signalled a schism in rave history when it was released". Being considered pivotal in the hardcore scene, "Toytown" led to React Music releasing the first of the Bonkers compilations in 1996, with Hixxy and Sharkey mixing. The Bonkers series stretched to 19 volumes, with Hixxy as a regular contributor, and while critical reception was varied, the series was credited as the "dawning of a new era" in the UK rave music scene.

By the early 2000s Hixxy's sound had evolved, releasing tracks that adopted the more mainstream trance sound but with hardcore-inspired beats per minute. In 2004 Hixxy founded Hardcore Till I Die, a business for his musical events, through his record label Raver Baby. That same year John Peel, a BBC Radio 1 DJ who was a supporter of the hardcore scene, invited Hixxy to do a mix on his show. The mix was subsequently released on CD by React Music under the title Bonkers: Hixxy Mix as Heard on the John Peel Show.[12] The following year Hixxy partnered with Darren Styles to follow up the Bonkers series by initiating another popular compilation mix series called Clubland X-Treme Hardcore, which fellow artist MC Storm claimed to be "another massive turning point for hardcore".

Hixxy has a prolific touring and performance record, both nationally in the UK and internationally with shows in the United States and Australia. As of 2023 Hixxy continues to perform live, often with fellow hardcore innovators such as DJ Dougal at events including the Bang Face Weekender in Southport.

Slammin' Vinyl is a UK-based event promoter that specializes in rave events, primarily focused on the drum and bass genre. The company was founded in 1992 by Grant Smith and Terry Ryan, who were both prominent figures in the UK rave scene at the time.

Slammin' Vinyl events were known for their high energy and intense atmosphere, with a focus on delivering a unique experience for ravers. The events typically took place in large venues such as arenas and sports halls, and were often all-night events that lasted until the early morning hours.

The first Slammin' Vinyl event took place in 1993 at the Sanctuary in Milton Keynes, England. From there, the company quickly gained a reputation for putting on some of the most exciting and innovative raves in the UK, attracting thousands of ravers from across the country.

One of the defining features of Slammin' Vinyl events was the focus on the music, with a lineup of some of the biggest names in drum and bass performing at their events. Some of the DJs who played at Slammin' Vinyl events over the years include Andy C, Hype, Randall, and Grooverider, among many others.

In addition to their rave events, Slammin' Vinyl also released mixtapes and albums featuring live recordings of their events, as well as launching a record label that released some of the biggest drum and bass tracks of the time.

Over the years, Slammin' Vinyl continued to expand and evolve, putting on larger and more ambitious events that pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the rave scene. The company continued to be active throughout the 2000s and into the 2010s, before eventually ceasing operations in the mid-2010s.
