In this powerful and emotional episode of Hard House History, Paul Glazby sits down with the legendary promoter and pioneer Paul "Madders" Madan, the man behind one of the UK's most iconic club brands, Sundissential. Together, they revisit the explosive rise of the 1990s Hard House scene, tracing how a post-rave generation transformed underground parties into world-class productions that shaped the future of dance music. Madders opens up about the origins of Sunday Central, the atmosphere that defined its legendary Sundays in Birmingham and Leeds, and the unforgettable characters who helped build a movement that still resonates decades later.
But this episode isn't just about the music; it's about survival, redemption, and growth. Madders reflects candidly on the darker chapters of his life, from addiction and loss to rebuilding himself through recovery and his work helping others at the Wellbourne Clinic. What emerges is a brutally honest and deeply human story of transformation, from a man who helped define the Hard House era to one who now helps others find their way back.
Hard House History (formerly When I Grow Up) continues to uncover the untold stories of the scene’s biggest names — where the beats were loud, the nights were long, and the legacy still burns bright.
