FINRG Hard is FINRGs sister label launched in the early 2004. It concentrates on the harder and faster edge of the ever developing hard dance. Like FINRG the label will be releasing material from the Scandinavian artists, but there will be international collaborations as well.
As with our last release, we are again most proud to represent something fresh and innovative to the global hard dance scene. It's time for Pain On Creations 'Lush' - one of the most definite Finnish underground smash hits of '04.
A-Side - Pain On Creation: 'Lush'

'Lush' has been storming the demanding Finnish crowds in probably every single hard dance event of '04 - and for a reason! The foundation of the track is laid solid on slammin rhythm, groovy stabs and relentless bass line - but the three key elements gives it the soul: a simple classic piano, a superfat filtered riff and an ingenious lead synthline. The arrangement keeps developing from the very beginning until the very end and includes a huge anthem class breakdown, which builds up from the melancholic depths to the euphoric heights of the main part.
'Lush' has been one of the cornerstones in the sets of Dj Proteus, E-NRG and Rx. It is also to be featured on Dj Proteus's next mix-cd 'The Hellfire Club' on Teflon Bullet.
AA-Side - Pain On Creation: 'Lush (Carbon Based Remix)'

On the flip Carbon Based pushes the boundaries to a more melodic direction with a remake of 'Lush'. Carbonized version honours the original concept, but approaches it from a bit smoother and more euphoric angle. A spice of innovative freeform, an uplifting warm analoque pad, further use of the piano sound and superb production are the key ingridients in this energetic builder.
The re-arranged version is an exciting mixture of the styles of these Nordic artists and a sure hit for anyone who enjoys his music hard the Finnish way!
