Rob Tissera: Crash, Comeback & Club Culture
This week on Hardhouse History, Paul Glazby welcomes back a true pioneer of the UK scene, Rob Tissera, for a raw and deeply personal second appearance.
The episode opens with Rob sharing the shocking story of a near-fatal car crash, a freak accident on the motorway that left him with serious injuries and a moment where he genuinely believed his life was over. It's a powerful reminder of how quickly everything can change, and sets the tone for an honest conversation about resilience, perspective and what really matters after decades in the game.
From there, the conversation shifts into Rob's journey through the hard house scene. Unlike the meteoric rise experienced by some DJs, Rob reflects on his steady, long-term career and why that slower trajectory can sometimes be easier to manage mentally. He talks about the importance of having the right people around you, not just hype, but honest voices who push you to improve.
There are also classic stories from the road, including encounters with global superstars and behind-the-scenes moments that show a different side of the industry. Rob shares how genuine curiosity and respect, even from the biggest names, can leave a lasting impression, reinforcing the culture's foundation.
Paul and Rob also revisit iconic moments from the scene, from wild tour stories to the origins of DJ names and unforgettable nights on the south coast. It's a reminder that hard house wasn't just about the music; it was about the community, the chaos, and the characters that defined an era.
This is more than a catch-up; it's a reflection on survival, longevity and staying grounded in a scene that has constantly evolved.
