Mark 'Breeze' Brady and Darren 'Styles' Mew have both been producing hardcore for years, forming Breeze and Styles in 2001. Since then, they've created more than their fair share of anthems - You're Shining and Heartbeatz to name but two - and released remixes aplenty.
MusicRadar recently took a tour of the duo's studio, learning about their favourite gear and working methods in the process. We even remembered to take a video camera along - check out the footage below.

On sale now, this contains a Producer Masterclass by the guys, which explains how they created their cover of Alec C feat. Yasmin K's Amigos Forever. There's also a much longer video on the DVD, so make sure you don't miss it.
