Seems to be a new production effect where a beat goes into a machine gun type tangent. Heard a few new tracks using it in Hixxy's latest Rinse FM Bank Holiday podcast.
Darren Styles latest called "Are you ready" As well as other tracks by Techikore, Alexander Norman etc..

Sends a crowd into a frenzy on dancefloors from what I have seen with party footage. Which is exactly what a Hardcore track should do.

No real opinion as I'm not into new hardcore, but it does sound like at the very start it says "Princess M"

Or as I call it, the 'chucking a drum kit down a flight of stairs' drop.

Hate it.

Psytrance influences in Hardcore do precisely zero for me.

I like those double/triple basses a lot. Brings a lot of energy I think!

Sounds shit, hate it. Would probably leave the dancefloor and wait for something that sounded not shit.

Lots of people will enjoy it though because it's aggressive and they can talk about how 'sick' it is while doing the gun fingers

Maybe it would be different listening to it at a live event but it sounds shite on my iPhone.

I think it sounds great when transcend and cyrax use a similar style, except it sounds much better, not like that shitty sound gammer uses.


what a horrible mix. you couldnt pay me to sit thru 2 hours of that.

it's honestly like they all have no ****ing idea why we started listening to happy hardcore in the first place.

I Like it. UK Hardcore needs experimenting with new sounds :)

First of all I don't like that drop. Perhaps I'm just getting old.
Second the melody at 2.09. I know I've heard it somewhere and it's been doing my head in all day. Does anyone know?
Please help my brain is breaking.
I have to know.

I generally agree with this. And while I don't dislike it, I feel this idea has become boring so quickly.
Literally every one of these UK Hardcore / Psytrance fusion drops sounds the same:
For example compare it with these:
(1:00), (1:36), (1:16).
I hear no difference!

Controversial opinion, but I don't think the hardcore from today is actually that bad. Sure I agree the producers at the very top are super boring. But I seem to be litterally the only one liking the hardstyle influence. For example I love the new stuff of Rob IYF, Al Storm (hero!), Daniel Seven and Technikore. Some quick picks of recent tracks I enjoy:
Frontliner is a very famous hardstyle producer with this track being an interesting take on the oldschool happy hardcore sound imo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTGKkk6w2WU
A new Hixxy track that is actually quite lovely (3:53).

One of my absoulte favourite tracks by Al Storm that went totally unnoticed because it was released in Japan only.
https://holtunes.bandcamp.com/track/one-more-time
And in case you haven't heard it yet, Entity is back with a brand new banger!


Sadly I'm kind of moving away from happy hardcore away, mostly because no one seems to release any new music any more. MVP obviously still are HU, Kniteforce and now fortunately also 24/7. But I see myself listening to more and more hardstyle and frenchcore and hands up, which I noticed can be just as brilliant. Not trying to act like Guest or Smoogie xD but feel free to give these a chance:

Hands Up (super cheesy and the vocals usually suck, but the melodies tend to always be catchy):


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi38opdVSKc

Hardstyle (especially the new recent trance influence has given this genre a breath of fresh air):

Thank you. That?s what I was thinking about. I was completely off track. I thought it was one of Fracus & Darwin?s Instrumental tracks. I searched through all of them. Plus the new HH Albums and the DJ Tools series. Thanks now I can sleep.

Sounds like Darren Styles was the creator of of it. Seems to go down really well with crowds from what I have seen with his live sets. Usually the lights flash at the same speed.

Sounds very fresh. I hope there are a lot more tracks made with this effect.
