The Tantrum Desire boys are making some serious waves in drum & bass right now and this is without question their biggest and boldest project to date.
Across 4 tracks, the London crew prove when it comes to dance floor devastation, they are a serious force to be reckoned with. ‘Play Tonight’ is a high -- octane gallop
through waves of synths and an elastic bass drop that will take the crowds into stratosphere. ‘Tough Love’ features the vocal talents of Jon Reline over silky pads and low-end
frequencies that get internal organs shaking.’Play Your Own Way’ takes things militant, a fist-pumping synth riff leading proceedings whilst the pounding drums do the rest.
Finally, ‘Designed’ takes the tempo down to 140bpm
& Tantrum Desire show their production skills are maturing with this dubstep monster work-out.

This EP has festival tune written all over it…This has already gained support from : GROOVERIDER, ANDY C, HYPE, RONI SIZE, CHASE & STATUS, DRUMSOUND & BASSLINE SMITH, BAILEY and MANY MORE!!!!! We expect very big things from this.. Reactions are a must on this one people!

Biography

An overdue need for acknowledgment resulting in outbursts of anger and frustration. Giving birth to the war cry “unleash your dark side” and their chorus – “A desire to make drum & bass junglism, we’ll keep throwing tantrums until you listen!”

A south east London based duo, who met in 2004 at a small pirate radio station through the love of drum & bass music. Before that time these individuals had portfolios in their chosen fields, which were producing and DJ’ing. These talented artists then began working together towards their common goal, which was to break into the drum & bass scene.

Experimenting and striving for constant perfection: Jay (Producer / DJ), Devon (DJ) under the name Tantrum Desire, have continued their promotion campaign and expedition, appearing on internet radio shows such as, Kunninmindz, Planet dnb, UK Rumble and Kool FM.

In late 2005, a bunch of Tantrum Desire tracks on a load of CD’s was passed out in Spain at a big drum & bass event. This then attracted Nu-Breed’s -- MC Shortston, who received a copy of the track collection and saw a spark in the production. This gave him some ideas and business plans to start up a new label called ‘Heavyweight Records’. This was the new home label for the guys, which released tracks such as, The Red Pill, Dreamscape EP, The Inner moon and White light, which had constant air play on radio stations such as 1xtra, Radio 1 and Kiss. Tantrum Desire also had bootleg projects laying around in the lab, which gave Shortston another idea to accompany Heavyweight with a bootleg label named “Booty”. This brought you releases such as, “Transformers”, “Jealousy”, “drop it like its hot” and “Can’t stop”.

In early 2008, Tantrum Desire was approached by one of the biggest pioneers in the game – Simon ‘Bassline’ Smith, who saw the variety of styles in the productions and therefore became interested. This led him to making the guys an offer and signing them exclusively to his well established label -- Technique Recordings. Straight away, Technique released Tantrum Desire’s debut 12” -- “Xenomorph & The Last stand”, which set a trademark in the scene for the sound of big baseline synths and orchestral intro’s. Soon after, the boys featured in the award winning “Knowledge Magazine”, which gave an insight and a warning to the public that the guys would be bringing dance floor smashers on a constant level. Early 2009 brought to your ears the sound of “Crazy Talk & Strength” on Techniques sister label’ Worldwide Audio Recordings. Through time, the guys have received great feedback and support from pioneers such as Grooverider, Zane Lowe, Mistajam, Hype and plus many more.
