Tantrum Desire At Juno Download

Review: South East London duo Tantrum Desire get rude and rowdy with their Foreplay EP on Drumsound & Bassline's Technique Recordings. It's no holds barred for the duration as "Play Tonight" gets things started with high-octane energy, a bawdy b-line, cooing vox and power synths. Next is "Tough Love" featuring super smooth R&B style vocal contribution from Jon Reline, which pounds along with grouchy SFX, pumping drum rolls and screeching synths. "Pay Your Own Way" has been doing damage for some time now with shimmying, bleepy SFX, catchy synth riffs and killer vocal hook. Slowing the tempo down to 140 bpm for the final track, "Designed" is all vocal-led slo-mo sleaze with swaggering beats. Huge.

Review: Ever the go-to jump up producer of choice for Bassline Smith's Technique Recordings, Tantrum Desire steps up with another high-octane, dancefloor-driven slab of filth. "Get With It" is all accelerating builds, peeping synth squeals, grinding mid range and tear-out D&B at it's most energetic. "Reach VIP" adds a trance-like synthline and suitably euphoric, auto-tuned vocal and pairs it with Skrillex style edits and punishing drums. The dubstep tease is very of the moment, with smashing, swaggering drum work, drawn out synth manipulations and plenty of Doctor P-esque moments. There's also a radio edit, should you wish to check it out.

Review: How's about a bit of drum & bass maths? Belly-busting bass + expertly executed use of vocal x tonked up production = Tantrum Desire (to the power of wicked) Sorry to dazzle you with mental arithmetic, but it's an important lesson. Under the careful guidance of Drumsound & Bassline Smith's Technique label, Tantrum Desire have polished their extreme production power, giving their recent tracks a shiny anthemic feel. "Guided Rhythm" is no exception. Available in D&B and dubstep forms, the formula is the same. Belly-busting bass + expertly executed use of vocal x tonked up production = success.

Review: Brace yourself for a whirlwind excursion with Tantrum Desire on "Higher" - a non-stop dancefloor destroyer of epic proportions. Be prepared for a dizzying, action packed cut with a vocodered lyric repeating "higher" manically; pelting sped up drums, buckets of synths and accelerating SFX which launch it into space. "The Law", up next, takes things on a calmer note at first, with building cymbals and a squeaky synth melody before falling into a series of Sub Focus - "Timewarp" bellows and eventually finishing up with the Dub Foundation remix of "Dark Water" - a murky wobble tear out outro.

Review: Technique continue in their slew of Radio One bothering tunes with this next offering from Tantrum Desire, which pairs trance-like builds and syrupy sweet vocals with UKF style screeches and bass wallops. Of course, such a track lends itself to a dubstep remix, which delivers with a scurry of bass shudders, wobbles and gratuitous lurches! L Plus also has a go at transforming the original into yet another form, bringing out the bleeps and blips and accentuating the grinding bass. One for the new generation of bass heads.

Review: If turbo charged, vocal driven D&B is your thing then this next release from Tantrum Desire should get your hands in the air. Full of sing-a-long moments and daytime radio potential, "What Is Your Desire" is all polished vocal, courtesy of I Kay, pounding mid range, punchy drums and souped up synth work. Watch out for the Dance Floor Pressure remix which gets tough and gnarly, plus the Kinzy remix which gives it the Doctor P style dubstep treatment. Then, just to round things off is original piece "I Am Unicron" which is a full of contemporary drumstep aesthetics - think shrill, shrieking synths - and trance-infused builds. Get the dancefloors ready for this one!
