About Nick E Louder:

Infamous "Mix Master" and Producer of dance, Nick e Louder has risen as the Phoenix with his inauguration onto the DMC "hall of fame". Renowned for his flawless technique, and sexy bass driven rhythms, Nick E Louder’s reputation has preceded the old school flash in the pan DJ/Producer novelty of the 90’s dance music scene, raising the standards of the electronic dance music for more than 16 years.

With the recent release of his 30th EP, "Addicted to Love" released on Flexual alongside Dr Moody from Surgery Records, as the Filthy Mutha’s , he also boasts with releases on labels which include More Music, Plastic Fantastic and White Labels.


About Alessandro Mariola aka DJL:

DJL plays mainly trance.  He diversifies the experience by varying seamlessly from tech to uplifting sounds, while changing to an energetic, harder edge at appropriate moments. For him it is essential that his music travels with a feel-good undertone.  This is created by contrasting musical sounds and varying baselines. The complexity of his set structures and his energy behind the decks are rewarded by captivated audiences, dancing to the pulsating energy of his musical journey. He has played at major events internationally in China, London and Amsterdam.

He is the man behind "Music Travel" which is one of the biggest world trance tracks released on the 1st of May 2008 which jumped to top 5 of the World DMC Trance Charts and has been in the top 8 for two weeks. This is the first South African in history to achieve such a goal.

NUKLEUZ Trance Adrenaline CD Launch
12-13 December 2008

2 Nights / 2 Cities / 2 Internationals / 5 National DJs
This is the Nukleuz Trance Adrenaline South Africa Tour 2008

This landmark dance music tour will not only feature some of South Africa’s top trance and hard dance DJ acts, but it will boast two international headline artists including the label manager from Nukeluz Records, Pierre Pienaar aka P.H.AT.T and the present king of UK hard dance, Simon Qudos. The tour will also feature the very best SA DJs, including James G (ESP), House Rokka (Durban), and Joburg’s very own Renegade DJs.

The tour will be a landmark event in the South African dance music industry because it will be a collaborative effort between local talent and international names in two major cities in one weekend. Such a feat has never been attempted in recent history and is destined to set an impressive precedent for the local night life and clubbing industry.

To add an extra dimension to an already spectacular concept, Nukleuz Records UK have promised the promoters on this tour exclusive rights to brand the tour in South Africa as the official launch of Pierre’s latest international CD compilation, Trance Adrenaline. Additionally, there will be several single tracks whose release date will be specially synchronised with this tour!

The Durban leg is scheduled to take place on Friday 12 December at TRAXX nightclub. For more information, click here.

The Johannesburg leg will take place on Saturday 13 December at Club Submission. For more information on the Johannesburg leg, click here.

This is going to be a truly national event that will be the start of amazing things for the SA Dance music scene. You wont want to miss it!

About Simon Qudos:

UK-based international DJ/Producer, Simon Qudos is fast establishing himself as a respected DJ within the dance scene. Enthusiastic and energetic, he plays a range of styles from electro to hard house, but his favoured genre is hard trance which, is also the style of his production work to date. Simon prides himself on his precise beat matching, ensuring a seamless transition between tunes. Always responsive to the crowd, he carefully matches his tune selection with their reaction taking them on a journey through a range of tunes carefully selected to make sure he keeps them happy and the dance floor jumping throughout any set that he plays.

Simon's latest tune, "What is the Future", was released on 28 October 2008 on Electrik Shandy. Gordon Darley rated this tune as 4/5 in the November issue of I-DJ Magazine. Gordon had this to say: "Simon Qudos on the other hand goes straight for the jugular with this well constructed UK hard trance number". Today, the tune is at no. 8 on the www.trackitdown.net hard dance chart!
