But to me when I hear all that 92 stuff he plays, it doesn't even sound like Hardcore. Is about the speed of House Music.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON SO MANY HARDCORE DJS GOING SLOWER? I am not a fan.
Vibes - plays & produces slower 92 style
Slipmatt - plays slower 92 style
Seduction - producing slower 92 style
Billy Bunter - plays 92 style on podcast
Darren Styles - Slower 160bpm
Dougal - slowed his productions to 160 with Minus the crown
Joey Riot - Also slowed his productions down to 160 with Minus the crown.
Hixxy - playing constant slower 160 tracks on his podcast
Mob now Mike Reverie - slower 160
Respect to the guys who are not doing a DARREN STYLES and watering down their sound.
170 crew
Fracus, Darwin, Scott Brown, AL Storm, Nobody, Rob IYF etc
You forgot the about the whole freeform crew...
There's a reason why ......

I know Nu Energy shut down, but there's still loads of artists on Stamina Records or the HBC. So maybe DJs like Sharkey and S3RL aren't playing anymore, there's still a lot of younger talent playing out. So while I think hardcore might not be that good right now (with everyone slowing down their tracks and copying hardstyle leads), I still think that freeform is pretty good. Of course, this may be because I haven't been to a proper rave in over ten years.

I had a hard time finding stuff I liked from Stamina. There were a few good ones, but overall too much grindy growly stuff and always a crushed master.

Here's a Frenchcore update of Spice.
A love-letter to mid-90's Dutch happycore as I like to call it
And a 200 BPM happy & hard jobbie with Darwin.
Couple of mixdown tweaks needed here and there, but still. Pffffft etc. Rar.

Freeform doesn't exist :P
Hardscape failed and the ones who tried to promote it are barely active any more, so I doubt that's the case with Freeform now
What are you talking about? Tons of labels and new tracks, events, podcasts. There's a lot going on in the freeform scene. Coming from a freeform dj and soon to be producer. Hell, we are even pushing the freeform scene here in Estonia!
