Hardcore EP13

(4 votes, average: 4 out of 5)

 Loading ...

On the verge of unleashing the third in the successful Hardcore Adrenaline compilation series, Nukleuz serve up 4 killer hardcore anthems from some of the biggest talents around on their ever popular Hardcore EP Series. Unlucky number 13 is argueably the biggest yet featuring Darren Styles & Mark Breeze and Hardcore Adrenaline’s own Stu Allan alongside rising stars Audioscape & Barley.

Styles & Breeze kick off proceedings with their new talent Jamie Ritmen remixing their 2002 club smash ‘Chemical Love’. Audioscape’s remix of ‘Sandstorm’ became the biggest selling individual download on Hardcore Adrenaline 3 on iTunes and it’s easy to see why with its high octane, no holds barred riff and bassline. Having smashed DeejayBee & InEffect’s remix of ‘Twilight’ for well over a year at every event he played, Stu Allan did his own remix which was immediately snapped up by Nukleuz taking the track on a different path retaining the anthemic vocals and completing the package, Stu Allan favourite Barley shows why he is a young rising talent not to be ignored dropping a stomper in ‘Workin The Bass’! A package not to be missed.

Pierre Pienaar - This Is Where We Are

(5 votes, average: 3.8 out of 5)

 Loading ...

Pierre Pienaar aka P.H.A.T.T. cannot be stopped! His electric remixes of CRW ‘I Feel Love’, Mauro Picotto ‘Komodo’ and Rachel Loy ‘I Can Feel It (Lovin’ Me) has smashed clubs & dance charts across the globe and since becoming Head of Nukleuz’s Green label has been producing and signing some gems and anthems in the making.

CRW rose to # 23 in the Dance Singles Chart of iTunes in the US having appeared exclusively on
# 1 album ‘Ibiza Trance Anthems 2007’ mixed by Nukleuz DJs, Nebula vs Maelstrom DJs. And his forthcoming Rachel Loy remix has already grabbed the attention of Dave Pearce “I played it at 4 gigs at the weekend and it went down very well, I think this will be a big record on my show. I think this could be a big track for you”

Pierre’s latest offering ‘this Is Where We Are’ proves that he has the midas touch crafting riffs and melodies of pure gold. Subtly building through uplifting grooves with energy levels rising in waves before dropping to feel good riffs that invigorate the soul and make you long for beaches and summer or at least the Winter Solstice. This is classic feel good trance as it is meant to sound!

On the flip Pierre calls in 21 year old rising Star Nicolas Perrottey aka DJ Space Raven from France for remix duties. Having collaborated with top artist such as Mat Silver Vs. Tony Burt, S.H.O.K.K., DuMonde, P.H.A.T.T., Alphazone, DJ Sakin & Friends, Klubbingman, Soulcry (Lisaya vs. Petersen), Wavetraxx, Alex Bartlett, Titus, Ray Burton, Megara vs. DJ Lee and many more Nicholas has built a strong fanbase and continues to go from strength to strength. This remix which will feature on the follow up to Ibiza Trance Anthems 2007… Trance Sessions Winter Solstice retains the same vibe, but toughens up the groove and adds the flare that Nicolas is so well known for.

Head of Nukleuz Green, Pierre Pienaar (aka P.H.A.T.T.) flexes his production muscles and showcases why he is one of the hottest and most versatile talents around with a brand new single under his Melodia guise.

Having picked up masses of support for his Melodia Remix of Andy BopH ‘Rat Trap’ by Paul Van Dyk, 4 spins in a row on Radio 1 from Dave Pearce for the Rachel Loy ‘I Can Feel It (Lovin Me)’ remix and international support from all the biggest players for his CRW ‘I Feel Love’ remix this track has a lot to live up to, and effortlessly does.

A Melody’ headed up the # 1 iTunes Dance Album (UK & USA) ‘Ibiza Trance Anthems 2007’ and now gets a full release with brand new remix courtesy of Audioscape.

Pierre moves away from his trademark main room big trance sound in favour of slowing the tempo and mellowing the vibes, crafting and building subtle melodies that flow effortlessly over Spanish guitars and bubbling bassline grooves. Forming an uplifting, housey trancer (affectionately becoming known as Trouse) that makes you feel good to be alive. Classic trance vibes in a 2008 style. Feel good trance as it is meant to sound!

On the flip Audioscape aka Adam Lilley is called in on remix duties. Having teamed up with vocalists Kelly C, Niki Mak (aka Annikka) and Rachel Loy (4 plays in a row from Dave Pearce “I played it at 4 gigs at the weekend and it went down very well, I think this will be a big record on my show”) Adam shows why he is a force to be reckoned with this remix. Beefing up the bass and the riffs, Adam drops main room trancer guaranteed to raise the roof at the biggest clubs.
