Yes mate, this is cracking. Substantially lower BPMs for you, eh? :-) But it's sounding good. That vocal's been doing the rounds, I know - but you've used it quite sparingly and it's worked well. The atmosphere - especially in the first half of the track - is really, really nice. Wish I could give you some technical feedback, but I haven't got the vocabulary man!

I know!!! crazy when you think about it
my brain was screaming FASTER!!! HARDER!!!! but i kept my cool and kept it to a reasonable 180bpm the riff didn't sound very good any faster
no doubt later i will end up making a dopecore version (gona be pie-eyed later lol)
i think i'll make a few more tracks at this tempo :)

Yeah, much better than 90 % of the Hands Up or Electro Trance crap today.
I'll definitely will check out the Dopecore mix as well. I think making it harder and faster will work as well.

It is actually proving quite difficult atm i usually make crazier riffs for most of my dopecore stuff (i call it that because i'm wasted when making the tune an only work on it when stoned)
the kick and bass i have but i just can't find the right sound for it

I like the way you process the vocals, it has a 90's feel to it.
Another thing that I find interesting is the 909 hardtrance kick you used, very much different from most hardcore tracks.
Overall, the track has a very 90's feel and the riffs remind me of my favourite commercial trance/dancecore artists Flashrider, Pulsedriver and Rocco back in '98 - '02.
I'm pretty much looking forward to this track being completed as well.

My only criticism is that it would work far better at much lower tempo (but still Hardcore). (All) Trance melodies generally sound rushed at this tempo imo. In essence it is a Trance tune (as is a lot of Hardcore, only it's not usually as good as this). The only thing distinguishing it from Trance is the tempo. But that's not a good or bad thing, just an observation. The point being that it is a style of song usually produced at a much, much slower tempo. Anyway the tune is already sounding good.

If it started as a 909 kick then it's no longer recognisable as one.
