Re-Con does! And I think S3rl and Technikore do that too, am I right? Wasn't Sonic Vox, the vocalist in most of Jamie Ritmen's tracks, Ritmen himself? Chwyhnny sings her own songs as well. I'm not saying that DS isn't unique, to me every producer is in a certain way.




Re-Con's voice is def made for singing! and he's pretty good imo. DS should quit the sappy shit vocals it's what irritates the hell out of me. except for Save Me that 1 i liked.

also Fracus has started putting his vocals on some of his tracks.

*puts down his hatorade*

Loving it, production is of the highest quality, the majority of them are instant anthems as far as our current rave scene goes. He's really outdone himself on this one. And from a producers perspective, you can tell hes really put alot more effort into it than the last one. Tunes like 'Like A Bitch, Bassline Road, Take you Down etc are technically lush.

Well done Styles... now to wait for releases! ><

I wouldnt call him unique, everyone tries to sound the same as Breeze & Styles. Best example of that would be Stylys & Audiojunkie




Everyone is entitled to there own opinion and no intention for any offence but why would everyone try to sound the same as Breeze & Styles? maybe because he's style to Hardcore is so unique and awesome yes they why else would everyone try to sound the same because he's not unique at all he's just plain generic Hardcore every producer sounds like Darren Styles hey hmmmmm.

Couple of tunes on this really impressed me, never thought I'd hear anything like it. Impressive stuff, didn't intend to listen to any of it ever, either, someone just happened to link me to them. Actually it's the only couple of tunes I've heard lol.

Can't believe you'd admit to this, on here especially! Alright, mabey if you were dling tracks from the 60's/70's or even 80's (which i'm not saying is right either) it might be over looked because the peak time royalties have been made around the time of release. To admit to doing this with a brand new Hardcore album is a f**kin disgrace. Especially from someone like yourself who can surely appreciate how bad sales in Hardcore are these days.

I would never buy a Darren Styles album & thats because i'm really not a fan of what his style has become (I always have been & always will be a fan of his older stuff) but I wouldn't think of downloading illegally & f**king the guy over! He works hard & without doubt deserves payment for his work. If your too much of a tight arse to put your hand in your pocket to support the scene you obviously love then i'm afraid you'll have to miss out. The last Bonkers I bought was 'Legends of the Core' & before that was 7 but now have completely lost faith in the series I once loved so much. I accept that its not something that interests me anymore as my tastes in Hardcore have changed but I wouldn't just go & DL them all illegally just to see what i've missed out on. If I wanted to hear them that bad i'd pay for them & hear them that way. Wasted money or not, it's still supporting the scene that I love so much. Sort it out.


EDIT - sorry to ambush a thread that I have no real input in but this just f**ked me off!

If I liked the album I would have bought it, even after I downloaded it. But I didnt like it, and will wait till the singles pop up instead to buy them. Costs me more but that way I get what I want. This album wasn't what I wanted, so neither will I buy it anymore, or keep it illegally for that matter. I've said it before (I think) and I will always say it. I download for preview purpose. I like, I buy. I hate, I delete. Artists should get their money honestly, not because a consumer is forced to buy a whole album with said artists tracks or others. Nowadays in these great time of the interweb it's the CONSUMERS market, not the LABELS. But that's for a completely different thread.

I can't say much about this. The Big 4 still hunts people for this, but some of the artists aren't that against filesharing. Unless you're Paul McCartney of Beatles fame, it took him (and Rolling Stones) atleast 15 years before they started selling music on CDs.

What did you find disgraceful? That I downloaded or that I deleted it after 1 listen or that I openly admitting doing both and becoming this forums biggest douchbag, making me a possible blockable person from buying music again? =P
btw, that last thing has still not happen, even if I have aired my honest opionions on filesharing for 6 years now.

So I should support a scene that doesn't exactly produce the music I like? If I could pay them to reconsider producing some more oldish tracks. I would gladly bend over and throw money at them. Heck I would die if Darren or Paul gets some UK Dance tracks out digitally. But as it's now. Only way for me to get music legally is to buy second hand stuff. Now that's supporting the scene! *sacrasm warning!*

Without going into a full blown debate cause this really isn't the thread for it, & i'm going to make this my last. I just think it's the complete wrong way to go about it & why you would even mention this on a site that sees some of the biggest names in Hardcore browsing it is beyond me. It just sums up how lenient the whole filesharing scenario has become. The person you downloaded from is a criminal & shouldn't be given the time of day. When people download from them it makes their work all worthwhile.

If you want to hear samples of upcoming releases then tune into & support the radio stations & listen to DJ's that have the rights to promote them. Or get out to the raves where you can also check out the DJ's that have permission to play them & appreicate the tracks in a rave atmosphere.

Now that we got that aired out. Anyone know if the full singles will be on Junkbox? The problem with Junkbox is that I can't buy the music since AATW have locked the label to UK(/US?) for digital releases

OR u can go to youtube and even legitimate music sites and most of the time they will have clips of each of the songs. they may not be the whole song, but u don't need to listen to the whole thing from start to finish to know that you will like the track

if junkbox has a direct site you can buy off of, then i suggest you go there. there probably might not be as much region restrictions on there as there would be on a place like junodownload or trackitdown
