TANTRUM DESIRE:
Jay Faleye otherwise known as Tantrum Desire, is an electronic producer/DJ from London, UK. His love and passion for Drum & Bass music escalated since the early 2000s and has remained strong ever since.

In late 2006, Tantrum Desire released tracks such as “Dreamscape” on Heavyweight Records. His music attracted many peers which followed onto DJ’ing at residential clubs in London, also receiving air time support from BBC Radio 1 & 1xtra. By late 2007, he was then picked up by Drumsound & Basslinesmith and signed to their very own Technique Recordings.

Since then, the Londoner has had many releases leading up to his successful worldwide anthem “Reach” in 2011. An explosive single hitting over a million views on YouTube, holding the Number #1 spot on Beatport for over a month and being one of the most rotated singles in the Drum & Bass scene. This received great support from Radio presenters and DJs such as Zane Lowe, Fearne Cotton, Fabio & Grooverider, Annie Mac, Pendulum, Andy C, Benga & Skream, Sub Focus plus more.

Dividing his studio time, Tantrum Desire has been busy with his live shows throughout the years, touring in many cities across the UK, Europe, USA and Australia.
In addition to this he has affiliated with labels such as Universal Island Records, Ministry of Sound, 3beat, with also building a history in high demand remixes for likes of The Wanted, Laidback Luke, Rusko, Matrix & Futurebound, Wideboys, Utah Saints, the list goes on.

In early 2015, Tantrum Desire released his single “Oblivion” featuring vocals from Solah, selected as one of UKF’s Top tracks of the year, taken from his debut album “Diversified” which was then released in the summer on 2015. The LP went in the Top 10 release charts on Beatport and was nominated Best Album at the Bass Music Awards sponsored by Sony. He supported the album with international tours, performing at clubs and festivals such as Ministry Of Sound, Avalon in Hollywood and Shambhala Festival in Canada.

The future is bright for the fact that Tantrum Desire has become one of the most exciting production outfits to date, with the fire to innovate and take things to the next level.

AMOSS
Amoss are a UK Drum & Bass duo known for their raw production style, bringing a new level of ridiculousness to the all too serious Drum and Bass scene.
The duo first met at a High School party, sharing a bottle of Cointreau and discussing their mutual love for Slayer. Shortly after, they decided to begin a musical partnership, jamming and writing music on a daily basis. After a few experimental years of death metal, funk and hip hop, they delved into the realms of Drum and Bass. With a pair of belt-drive Numarks, a copy of Ableton 5 and a few issues of Computer Music Magazine, Amoss was born.

Quickly finding influence from artists such as Calyx, Noisia and Phace their interest was sparked in the darker side of the genre.
Skip forward to December 2010 and the duo saw their first 12?? single released on Cyclone Recordings in the form of the half time muddy dub influenced track ‘Glurg Monster’ which marked the first of many releases to come. The duo established themselves as ones to watch with their acclaimed track ‘Flex’ in 2011, their first release on the legendary record label Renegade Hardware.
Since then, the pair has built a impressive discography of over 70 tracks, releasing on labels such as Dispatch Recordings and Horizons Music, all whilst gaining support from the likes of Noisia, Spectrasoul, Dub Phizix, London Elektricity and more.
From the clubs of Vienna to Los Angeles, to the festival stages of Outlook and regular hometown slot at Nozstock, Amoss have toured extensively across Europe, North America, and most recently Australia and New Zealand.

To put it simply their fridge magnet collection is something to be reckoned with.

During their downtime the duo continue to live and breathe music, regularly cracking open the champagne and recording their infamous podcast ‘The Cranium Sessions’. The show is not only an outlet to play the latest from the underground scene whilst heavily supporting unsigned and upcoming artists, but a competition between the friends to outdo each other in their musical finds.
