Nothing coming out of late from OneSeventy or any other label does a thing for me, just my opinion but i cannot remember the last time i heard a release that really set my pulse going.
UK hardcore is a bit in the doldrums at the min. The last one that really hit me was Alaguan - safety net last year. I have been enjoying Rapture records releases though.

I like parts including the vocals and main riff sounds fine. Main section midway through sounds good. What's anyone think of the inclusion of the drum n bass sections? Short part after 1st minute and then at 2.35. At first I wasn't so sure of this in a hardcore track but to be fair they are shortish sections. They do work well with the vocals but for the part at 2m 35 a hardcore beat may have sounded good also.

It's alright. Standard recipe plus the DNB drums. Lacks character and atmosphere for me, sounds a bit sterile.

I gave up playing new UK hardcore 5 years ago and it still sounds exactly the same as it did 5 years ago, so so boring. Generic EDM riff, beat with no power, generic EDM fills.
Hardcore was at its best when it had its own identity (96-99 and 2002-2005), I wish it would stop copycatting.

I know was on Hardcore Heaven 5 album...single release out now which has got a touch up. This is a decent track. On Jakka B mix on Bonkers beats last night, he started with the Olly P remix. Sounds ok but not so keen on the higher pitched kicks.

Good job
Always quality tunes, but OneSeventy is starting to sound very predictable and all the same with every release.. Would be good if they experimented a bit more and thought outside the box with propper Hardstyle Kicks or Faster Tempo's. Just experiment a bit more. Even the classic House Music pianos & riffs would be cool.
You look at Brutal Kuts, they release a lot more variety with new style 90s Happy Hardcore as well as today's sound.
Just seems to be a very strict formulated sound with everything OneSeventy is doing and very stale now.
Classic EDM House like this would sound unreal at a faster tempo.

I'm finding OneSeventy a bit predictable lately, releases are quite samey and they seem to be following a pattern, which is a shame as this label was always up there as one of my faves, releases such as Light Show & Reflections are particular highlights.
You have to stay current in order to survive with productions. Let's be honest, if you don't evolve you get left behind.
And that my friend is the EXACT problem with the core scene. WTF "evolve"... Do what the rest are doing because they've nabbed it off someone else and are making money out of it, and if you don't, then doomed from the start?
Back then, lots of people doing core, all varieties of sounds. Breaks, old skool, happy, freeform/trancecore, etc. Throughout the era's regardless of the style, there's been huge variety (Force and styles compared with Kaos or Sy. Hixxy compared with Dougal and Gammer). The list of variations could go on but I can't be arsed.
Now, 2020 onwards... Carbon copy the absolute sh*te which is all down to mackswolf, with the screechy garbage or don't bother.
The fact is, in these times, you only "stay current" if want to milk money from it.
If anyone gets "left behind" then it shows what sort of scene it is now, cash in, take, take take, the end.
Anyway, on that note... Breeze... The least talented person in the scene. Had an unprofessional fabricated bitch and moan about me on his FB page for revealing the prices he was asking to remix stuff. A useless producer floated by others. Same goes for many others in the scene but ah well.
