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.

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.

MELODIA - A MELODY

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.
