While we're all Sharkey'd up, let's not forget that there have been two other major releases this month. Who's got this one? What are you saying? What are the stand out tracks?
For me it's an absolute result to get the F&D remix of 'Let Me In' at last
Other than that, I'm just going through them at the moment so couldn't say more just yet but hoping to get a mix up with all of these, Sharkey & Al Storms new one plus CLSM/Poisecore that I haven't used yet so if you're on the fence maybe I'll per(dis)suade you

fracus & darwin disc has alot of quality tracks !! most of my favorites being from them. definitely keeping it solid with their style. share this love, let me in, look in your eyes, donovans theme. really solid tracks that make me dance hard on the floor ;) dy5on, flakee, daze tracks are really good. "fiyah" is alright, kind of weird. i woulda picked "unomas" :P.
there are those 1 or 2 off tracks that seriously mess with my vibes as far as a mix being a journey I get sucked into, it sucks to be getting lost then come crashing into a track that doesnt really belong in a hardcore mix (imo), but I understand using all elements of the scene... but since disc 2 is almost entirely that kind of stuff anyway, might as well just make the first mix actually 100% vocal hardcore :p. (and i obviously dont expect every track to be seriously vocal, nothing wrong with the entity and darwin track. its good, euphoric hardcore.) It would be nice to listen a mix and not worry about when that track or tracks i really dislike is going to play lol. and not like a mix from years back and it was just a hardcore track im not too keen on, but a track this is really not even the slightest bit hardcore. it belongs on a different mix ( imo).
for me the series is definitely better as a compilation than a mix, which sucks, i reallllly enjoy a solid hardcore mix, but it IS a good compilation. which brings me to the Technikore mix. definitely the most dissapointing track selection for a mix i have ever heard from technikore. could have told me MOB picked the tracks, honestly. do they get to pick, or are they told what to play? it seems like disc 2 consistently features the style of hardcore i dislike, regardless of who is mixing.
i havent even listened to the mixes themselves but judged the tracks individually, but theres no way technikore mix even holds interest for me as a mix, no matter how good the mixing is. which makes me super sad. technikore is easily one of my highest rated dj's for superb mixes, as far as tracklist goes. It feels like technikore expressed near zero things that make technikore, technikore. a bit in shock. the only stand out track for me on disc 2 is " losing myself" and i know damn well MOB had nothing to do with . pure technikore. clouds above and galaxia are alright... def not his top ( imo) . most of disc 2 is really cringe for me.
Al storm projections of a fractured mind though - * pure boner alert*

Still need to buy all 3 and heard very little in the way of clips to hurry me up.
My order of preference (or likelihood of buying) is probably the opposite of most peoples
Al
HH3
Sharkey
Will get them all eventually, showcase mixes welcome...

I wish they would include samples instead of having to hunt down soundcoud clips, with some tracks not even available to hear.
I pre-ordered it, so just waiting.

Podcast next week, clips too. It's a kerayzee order of operation but we had prioritise getting the albums done over promo. This is the antithesis of modern UK Hardcore which typically involves talking a lot and doing little.

i feel seriously insulted. he would never degrade trance fans by putting some of this garbage in a Technikal mix. Why are hardcore fans their shitting grounds?
Ok what? technikal is now garbage hardstyle. nevermind lol.

I still can't get over how bad the artwork is, I mean it's just really REALLY amature, it's a LITTLE BIT better than the diversions tragedy but I mean just bloody look at it, how could you even call yourself a serious outfit when your putting out cds with artwork that looks like some lunatic has done a one day photoshop course.

Tough crowd.
Honestly I was very disappointed with HH1 overall but loved the first disc of HH2. It surprised me that Scott Brown's mix on that one was so boring. Sounds like HH3 is going to be a mixed bag too... will give it a proper listen soon.

if you liked f & d mix off HH2, you should def like their mix off this one.

Personally I think Technikore's disc is far superior to Scott Brown's HH2 and MOB's HH1 discs. sure, there's a couple of duds (the artists are the usual suspects) on there but I certainly wasn't disappointed by any means.

I admit i have very high standards for technikore, but this just feels downright lazy.
off HH1 , " to the flame" and " change" blow anything he even put on HH3 away. I even feel like the remixes from those that should be strong are weak. i notice a few of the elements i dislike are scattered pretty liberaly throughout a good amount of tracks ( i ****ing HATE that new sub par hardstyle sound god damn). If storm didnt put out something 100& epic, id think i was crazy. but no, this is just a pretty weak representation i think..
and no offense to macks wolf and jakka b , but stuff like " islands in the sky" has no place in a hardcore mix. if smoogie gets shit for posting house music. there is no flipping way tracks like that are ok in the hardcore scene. outrageous hypocrisy.
* woops . that track is off disc 1. add " tell em" " holdin on" " nobodoy can stop me" " praise you" . Man. I seriously would have left the room if that was a rave.
