Latest new track out from the hit makers Styles and Dougal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2u5BXqH0p0

Big fan of this one, excellent vocals and riff.

Thoughts?

Ok production, but I prefer Long Way Down. The male vocals in this one just don't do it for me.

Agreed on the BPM, needs to be increased by at least 10.

It's clear that the likes of Darren, Dougal etc are trying to appeal to the masses by slowing down the track. If you speak to anyone who doesnt like Hardcore one of the main reasons they always give is

"It's too fast..."

Stop trying to make hardcore into something it isnt.

I don't understand their thinking. Dnb does just fine at 175 and never had to apologize. They are so bad at needing to know what the scene needs.

You know what you should do with that, right? You should put a banging donk on it!

Unlike the UK Hard House scene which is strong and stable:

I was going in expecting a shitty tune but I kinda like it tbh. It's catchy and happy. Doesn't have some fantastic build-up where it sounds like it's gonna be the best track ever only to deflate like a balloon (*cough* Superhuman (Gammer Remix) *cough*).

Totally agreee, male singing vocals are usually not good in UK Hardcore. The only time a guys voice should be in a track is if it is a sample or rapping.
Get some fit bird with a good voice to sing.

Samantha Harvey would be perfect to do vocals on a Darren Styles or Dougal track instead of some dude. Probably one of the best vocalists I've heard. And she is from the UK.

If I ever get off my ass and produce, there will be plenty of dated trance riffs for you to enjoy. And there won't be any worthless house/EDM sounds.

Go for it, can't see your sales being too good though. This is why Darren Styles is killing it. He moved on to something better. Edm/Hardstyle influences.
