the thing i have to say, is that i dont mind slower speed, but if you are lowering the speed, but some freaking breakbeats in it, cuz if you leave the slow kick in, it just sounds even more like trance.

I have to agree with CEPHIROS. The speed is one of the defining qualities of happy hardcore. I tend to pitch-up most of my choons. About 175-190 BPM is cool for me.

dougal never speeds his tracks up,he even cuts bits out of tracks to fit them onto a cd instead of pitching it up

Hehe Dougal's my favourite dj :)
And if you are reffering to Have It All on bonkers 3, then the middle is not cut out, it's a different version. Hixxy played it live so it could not have been cut out.

I agree with most people on here--Hardcore is supposed to be FAST. In all actuality, really the spped is what separates it being a different style. If you play a lot of HHC tracks really slow, they sound like UK Hard House and vice-versa. If you play a lot of Hardcore trax slow, they sound like Hard Techno. The speed is what defines Hardcore. I finally got around to listening to Speed Limit +5 a couple months ago, and I was horribly disappointed. It all sounded more like UK Hard House than the Old Skool shit I was expecting. Anyways, Hardcore's evolving, no matter what. It's up to us where it goes.

Peace,

Caleb

like virus said, if you're going to make the tunes slower, put the one thing in there that made uk hardcore definable from any other genre...breaks! some intracitly well placed breakbeats in a track make so much more of a difference in a tune, also to me it makes it sound a little better of a production number

Whenever I mix my hardcore, I set the bpm to about 170. that for me is the best speed for the hardcore I play! quality!
