{"key":"98351","name":"Tantrum Desire","bio":"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\u2019ing. 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) and 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 2005, a bunch of Tantrum Desire tracks on a load of CD\u2019s was passed out in Spain at a big drum & bass event. This then attracted Nu-Breed\u2019s - 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 \u2018Heavyweight Records\u2019. This was the new home label for the boys, 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 lying around in the lab, which gave Shortston another idea to accompany Heavyweight with a bootleg label named \u201cBooty\u201d. This brought you releases such as, \u201cTransformers\u201d, \u201cJealousy\u201d, \u201cdrop it like its hot\u201d and \u201cCan\u2019t stop\u201d.In early 2008, Tantrum Desire was approached by one of the biggest pioneers in the game \u2013 Simon \u2018Bassline\u2019 Smith, who saw the variety of styles in the drum & bass 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\u2019s debut 12\u201d - \u201cXenomorph & the Last stand, which set their trademark in the scene for the sound of big baseline synths and orchestral intro\u2019s. Soon after, the boys featured in the award winning Knowledge Magazine, which gave an insight of the T.D team 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 \u201cCrazy Talk & Strength\u201d on Techniques sister label\u2019 World Wide Audio Recordings. This synth\u2019tastic release received great feedback and support from pioneers such as Grooverider, Jumping Jack Frost, Zane Lowe, Hype, Ray Keith and many more.Read more: http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/tantrumdesire#ixzz15NwyHSJG","featuredImage":"https:\/\/assets.allamericanmusic.com\/images\/98351_h_0.jpg","feeRange":"please contact"}

Signed on the strength of his mini-disc demos, the Welsh wonder has smashed his way through the Drum & Bass scene in no time at all.His debut longplayer \"True Colours\" was released on Hospital to massive critical acclaim in June 2002, paving the way for a move onto the outernational DJ circuit and remixer of choice for many labels inside and outside of the Drum & Bass community. It was the club sessions and mixing skills that dominated the year following the release of \"True Colours\" - with Lincoln making a name for himself as one of the hottest Drum & Bass DJs around.In autumn 2004 he dropped the massive \"High Society\" LP, featuring the anthemic singles \"Twilights Last Gleaming\" and \"Racing Green\". The album has already become the stuff of legend, with Knowledge Magazine voting it into their top 3 jungle albums of the last 10 years. More recently after reaching Drum & Bass superstardom he has released mix albums for Fabric and Mixmag and seen his White Stripes remix all over Radio 1. Missy Elliot and Blaze have also come knocking for a Contrast remix and the world's dance floors have been blown apart by that Gold Digger booty. 2007 saw the High Contrast success story continue, with the single \"If We Ever\" getting play on Radio One, followed by arguably his finest album yet - \"Tough Guys Don\u2019t Dance\".
