Found this shared by a lot of people on soundcloud, is basically all 2020 style Hardcore mixed in a marathon of sets by
SUMMER JAE,
AK47,
MIKE REVERIE,
TECHNIKORE,
HIXXY,
JTS,
TWO MINDS PROJECT,
MACKS WOLF,
WEAVER,
There is definitely a new sound developing in the 2020s. Props to the guys down in Australia doing this podcast. They seem ahead of the game with their scene.

And "that" sound is no different to anything before it.
Bring back that mid 00's sound and I think you'd have a winner.
rafferty has already said he hated that kind of sound so :P

All the J-Core I hear seems ahead of the curve. A lot more dense and dynamic (and some of it maybe what Freeform was supposed to be) rather than people just people trying to copy the clean Darren Styles formula. One thing I've disliked about UK Hardcore for a while is the tendency to try and hide the tempo as if to make it more palatable for a mainstream audience, when in truth it's the main selling point and defining feature of the entire genre.
HARDCORE TANO*C is worth subscribing to on Youtube if you haven't already.
(this isn't the most amazing example of that now that I listen to it, but it is decent and recent)

Japanese knows how to take in elements while keeping the original sound. UK and American's can only copy, paste and increase the BPM

There needs to be more tunes like:
Darwin & Haywire - Another Life
That is right way to make a tune in the spirit and fun of the 2000's while updating it for modern productions. Its gotta be my top tune of the year. And yes I broke down and bought HH6 just for this tune...its that good.
It brings me back to the good ol days of TNC, Next Generation, Hecttech and so on. Rough kicks, scratching, rap samples heavenly melodies.
Haywire has another tune called Stick Em that Brisk has cained a few times in the past on his Brisk Selection and its pure dope 2 Damn Tuff style.
Just wish Joey Riot would get off his ass and release it.
But yeah. Japan is where it is at right now. Can't go wrong with Tano C, Megarex, Dynasty, Lillium, ST2B, Sketch Up, Sound Ave.

(Darwin & Haywire - Another Life) You have to be kidding, we had 15 yrs of that same dated sound. That crap is dead and buried.
Is not even real Hardcore, just Trance riffs spead up to 170bpm.

No the U.S, UK and Australia seem to be ahead of the game with labels like Justice Hardcore, Lethal Theory and One Seventy.
You can't even understand what they are saying with a lot of Japanese releases.
Heard the Japanese Hardcore you play. Is not real good, is like kindergarten music.

Justice Hardcore is mostly trash. The only thing I found that I liked was the Gavin G EP, i.e. European.
That song you posted is relatively boring hardstyle trash. Give me trance all day.
A lot of the Japanese stuff gets old fast for me, too, but I still feel like overall I have a better chance of finding something I like. A lot of the Japanese producers killed their style with too much EDM and high-pitched cute anime J-pop remixes, though.
