Australian. Stockholm-based. Driving, relentless techno.
Claire Hardman is an award-winning DJ and producer from Australia, based in Stockholm. Her sets run hard and forward — built for rooms that want to be pushed rather than eased.
She was featured as one of Pioneer's “Up and Coming DJs” in 2018 and won Olmeca Tequila's “Switch the DJ” competition in 2017. Her records have landed on Oscuro, Mavic and Natura Viva Black, on her own imprint HARDMAN, and most recently on Rave To The Grave.
She runs her own hard techno series, Hyperdrive, in Stockholm — fast, loud and built for a room that came to be pushed.
Hyperdrive is built for the harder side of Stockholm’s dancefloor. The event series brings together international headliners, emerging talent and a fiercely dedicated crowd for nights rooted in hard dance and high-energy electronic music.
Since launching in 2024, Hyperdrive has delivered high-energy nights spanning hard bounce, hard techno, schranz and gabber.
Join us on the dancefloor, free yourself and let’s rave.
Claire teaches DJing one-to-one in Stockholm and online — beatmatching and mixing on CDJs and controllers, reading a room, building a set that goes somewhere, and getting your first tracks finished.
Complete beginners welcome. So are DJs who can already mix and want their sets to hit harder.
