Hardleaders
Hardleaders is a subsidiary of Kickin Records, the underground drum and bass label founded and run by Paul Harris. It grew from early releases by Dillinja and Lemon D, who had previously appeared on Kickin's Conqueror imprint, and became a defining home for the dark, futuristic sound that shaped the early techstep scene.
