Digital OUT NOW! CDs Shipping March 18th
2xCD Limited Edition Digipak - 40 Full Length Tracks (Digital Download)
With Hardcore's resurgence in 2019 starting to make its way from the behind the scenes collaborative work into full public view, we thought it was about time for the next instalment in our rebooted Hardcore Heaven series.
Following on from the success of his recent artist album, and renewed passion and vigour for the genre with the re-launch of 24/7 Hardcore, the prolifically talented Al Storm joins the inimitable Fracus & Darwin in putting together what is arguably our best release in the series yet.
As always, this is a dual ownership product: instant digital access with the CD to follow. The album also includes all 40 FULL LENGTH tracks included on the mixes as a download bundle.

Is the mastering the same as HH3 CD? That one made my ears bleed.

Must be terrible to have such super tuned ears that you hear different to everyone else.
CD1 is pretty strong. F&D with some belting remixes and originals.
CD2 is brilliant. Al Storm for Prime minister!
Let's be honest, there was plenty to dislike about each of the previous 3 volumes (more music than artists in most cases) but I'm very happy to say this might be the best yet.
I'll add more when I can....er, be bothered.

No super tuned ears here. I doubt I'm the only one to hear it. Take "Drop Dead" (CD 1, track 11) for example. From the very start of the song, it's blaringly loud and distorted. Turning down the volume doesn't mask the distortion either. It's the run-of-the-mill loudness war effect, like a tin clashing sound.
If you actually can't hear that, here's a visual illustration too:

The brighter the yellow, the more brickwalled the sound. The yellow should also stay at the bottom of the graph (that's mostly fine) but here it bleeds through more than half way up into the whole range of the track. Most of the others are like that. It is physically painful to hear with decent headphones. Hardcore Heaven 1 and 2 sounded fine. Something changed.

The tracklist, the artwork... everything is mindblowing (also, intuition that Al Storm become the next DJ Guest at the comp).
Time to get it for the justice and the Fracus & Darwin reworks <3.

It's the best HH album to date. Well, since you guys rebooted it. I always enjoyed the Fracus and Darwin mixes, but thought the other mixes were a bit meh! I'm so pleased you got Al Storm to mix a disc. He's writing some of the best music of his career. Uplifting Happy Hardcore at it's best. When he's on it, then there's few better. The remixes and new tunes w/ Euphony are magnificent.
CD1 is really strong too! Some great remixes (I'm looking at you 'In Effect') and the Entity track is absolutely sensational. I really couldn't get into the Alex Kidd track. That's really not my thing. But other than that, it's a really solid album. I've been teetering on the edge for years when it comes to paying attention to upfront UK Hardcore, but you've grabbed me again. Well done.

We were quiet last year, for the same reason as 2013: It's all faintly worrying, and something must be done. Plenty more to come; why else would we put this out in Feb? 😉
This is the year that Al Storm and F&D lead the way. There's a Pot o' Gold at the end of this (Magical) Rainbow. Trust.

Yeah it's a bit quirky and certainly has Hadstyle influences. I'm not a fan of Hardstyle in particular.
