“Most French bands that I’ve heard suck. I don’t know what it is about that country, but by and large the French are a waste from stern to stem. Hell, I’ve been there and (at least in Paris) they sucked. So I was fully prepared for this band to do nothing for me. Well, prove me wrong. Tantrum kicks ass. Consider fellow Europeans Knut and their destructive wall of sound and you’ll get an idea of what Tantrum are going for.
They learned their time signatures from the school of Botch and took some lessons in heaviness from the academy of Mehuggah, and then made a mess of it in Metal shop (you like how I fit that in there?). Definitely worth investigating and if they tried to breach our shores I’d let ‘em in.”

For their forthcoming Trance Form album, Audioscape present another upfront Dance anthem and with mixes from Attention Seekerz and JAKAZiD the package is a pretty good one!
Nukleuz favourites Audioscape first burst onto the scene in 2006 with their debut single, Walk Away, which went on to become M8 magazines single of the month and feature on the biggest compilations, including No.1 selling Clubland X-Treme - Hardcore 2.
Since then, Audioscape have kept the hits coming, with tracks covering the spectrum from Hardcore to Trance and gone on to remix for the likes of Darude, with their huge song, ‘Sandstorm’. Audioscape have even seen their single, ‘Who’s Sorry’, become a top selling ringtone featuring none other than the legendary don’t hassle the hoff, David Hasslehoff!
Having originally been signed up to fellow Hardcore legends, Sy & Unknown’s Quosh label, Audioscape were quickly picked up by Nukleuz and the two have continuously kept a strong relationship, with Nukleuz releasing most of Audioscape’s major tracks. From 2007 though, Audioscape began to highlight the versatility of their productions by making the transition from UK Hardcore to Trance with ‘One Heart & One Mind’ Ft Kelly C. Merely weeks later follow up single ‘No More Rain’ tore up dance floors across Clubland, with both tracks also receiving solid airplay on BBC Radio 1 and Kiss.
2008 is shaping up to be a massive year for Audioscape whose tracks have already been receiving airplay by Dave Pearce on his weekly Radio 1 Dance Anthems show. 2008 also sees Audioscape release their debut album, ‘Trance Form’, on Nukleuz in October - with other singles including ‘I Don’t Want To Lose You’, also Feat Annikka & other old Audioscape friends including the Organ Donors, Kelly C and Rachel Loy.
The remixes for this single come from another of Nukleuz’s main producers, JAKAZiD, taking Audioscape back to their Hardcore routes, and Attention Seekerz who house the whole thing right up!

Following up from the recent success of The Hardcore Nation: Next Generation compilation and hot on the tails of it’s predecessor, Hardcore EP 16, this four tracker is another banger the hugely acclaimed series.
Darwin once again features in the line-up for this one, with a Hardcore mix of one of this summers sure anthems, Connected Ft. Max’C, ‘A Feeling’, which combines the great vocal talent of Max’C with a big pumping beat, creating a Hardcore summer anthem in it’s own right.
HNK are next up to bring back to life the old drum and bass classic, ‘Shake your body’, which is really brought to life by one of Nukleuz’ main men JAKAZiD, giving the track his own touch of Hardcore breaks.
The Nukleuz Kollective themselves step up for track number four with an Audioscape Remix of ‘Blood Is Pumping’. Big synth build ups and banging beats give this high tempo track all the standard features of a wicked Nukleuz & Audioscape tune.
Finally, it’s Fretman & Alex F with their track ‘Fire’ with it’s mashed up vocal and distorted synth creating a dark, sinister and system smashing track that definitely finishes the EP off with a bang!
