We've been maintaining a low profile here at Hardware HQ, working hard
behind the scenes in preparation for 2010 - our 15 year anniversary.
So we thought it was about time for a quick update on things to look
out for in the coming months...
RELEASES
This year brings with it plenty of exciting projects to look forward
to. Kicking off at the end of next month we will be releasing a label
compilation entitled: Hardware XV - 15 Years Of
Renegade Hardware.
Released on triple CD and incorporating 30 tracks, this album will
provide an in depth, retrospective look at the labels history.
Featuring all the key tracks and artists from our back catalogue. The
CD will be complimented by 3 triple pack vinyl EP's which will be
released over the next 12 months and will contain remastered classics,
many unavailable on vinyl for years. Full info & tracklisting to
follow soon...
Also due out in the first quarter we have a various artists
compilation entitled Last Of A Dying
Breed, expect tracks from Raiden,
Vicious Circle, Dose & Menace, Calyx & Teebee, Ink, Loxy &
Resound and many more. This album will be released on both
CD & vinyl.
Sticking with albums we are pleased to announce we currently have 4
artist albums in the pipeline from key Hardware artists which include:
Ink, Loxy, Raiden and a collaborative
album from Vicious Circle & Universal
Project. Release dates for these are still TBC as some of
the projects are in their early stages but we'll be sure to update you
with developments.
Also we need to mention the Aquarius EP
(HWARE15), featuring cuts from Raiden, NC-17, Loxy &
Resound & BTK which is due for imminent release on
promo....
Renegade Hardware charges head on into 2010 with the first release of
the year – The Aquarius EP. Taking on board a sonic assault from
around the globe...
AQUARIUS EP
Cat No: HWARE15
Released: 22nd FEB 2010
Formats: 12” Vinyl / Download
TRACKLISTING
A) RAIDEN - AQUARIUS
Kicking off proceedings we head straight to the title track – Aquarius
by Raiden. Huge epic pads combine with razor sharp breaks and
seriously heavy bass to create a truly spine chilling track. Aquarius
captures the pure unadulterated sound of Hardware.
B) NC-17 - ATTITUDE ERA
Backing up the A side we welcome NC-17 to the fold with their Hardware
debut. The duo cut straight to the chase to show you what they are all
about with an all out bass driven roller in the form of Attitude Era.
The subs on this track pound and grind the listener into submission.
Taking no prisoners this is a savage bass bin work out.
C) LOXY & RESOUND - PSYCHOLOGY MOVES
Opening up disc two Hardware resident Loxy teams up with Finland’s
Resound with “Psychology Moves”. Showcasing yet another hue in his
already diverse audio palette, Loxy brings a tribal roll out. Straight
up menacing & militant.
D) BTK - NOT GOING BACK
Finishing off the release in fine style we announce yet another
Hardware debut, this time from Brazil’s BTK. Not Going Back is a
hectic barrage of tech beats, laced with haunting vox and thunderous
bass that will the leave the crowd punch drunk at any club in which
its drawn.
