STEVE: ‘As for the industry I think we’re pretty underground now, saying that though there are a lot of new producers coming out which is nothing but good news. Sales have been good for summer which is usually a slow time for music & RPR seems to be going from strength to strength. Hard house ain’t dying in my eye’s. ‘

Riggsy And Sparx 'Satan' (blood poisoning remix) The name really does say it all –Hard NRG Rework (not remix) of Orbitals famous 'Satan' acid techno tune, with hard beats a huge main synth breakdown the sound of barking dogs, a massive acid riff and the ever omnious ' Satan, satan satan!' vocal.

Dj Resh And Riggsy 'Crazy F*cking Maniac' A devestating tune which is pretty close to what you might hear if you were put through an industrial shredder. A huge grinding synth line builds and builds into a main break of acid stabs that wouldnt be out of place in a battle scene if the sound engineers working on 'Star Wars' started tooting Crack (disclaimer – we arnt saying they have or did just using a description)

Sparx And Defective Audio 'Fusion Zone' Plays from big names such as Gem Stone, Nik Denton and JP and Jukesy, this is a massive experimental track, with the hardest kicks hoovers and nasty drum and bass style sweeps added just for fun. Sounds like a party in a nuclear reactor!

Syrus 'Never again' A massive new track from our new signing and fellow Hard As Nails minion Syrus featuring some of the hardest old school hoovers you will have heard in years in the main break, a must for people who remembers the days when a hoover sounded like a monster from hell rather than the weak wasp noises you get right now.

Nocturnal Disorder and Sparx 'Cant Walk Away' A crazy experiment carried out while under the influence of a notorious drink called 'Buckfast' this tune is half way between Hard Techno Hard NRG and Hardstyle – really really hard. Could wake the dead. May ruin your life if you have to dj after it.
