Nice to see he has still forgotten about the other 2 guys in DJ Force and the Evolution. TIT.
And its not falshy. Most people do there own gayspace pages. Where as Mr Styles has employed someone to do it for him. |
| mr_dom_uk |
Gammer's Myspace is alot better got a cool video of him scratching on CD decks |
| bent_bananna |
That myspace has dance music on it. I thought Darren Styles was out of a boy band :S Darren Styles = twat |
| Marshy88 |
Leave the guy alone hes only making a living and besides give me a good reason why he is a twat apart from singing like he is in a boyband (so what)
Cant wait for his greatest hits album i bet that will be bangin |

how about he is a twat because on both his web site and his myspace page it says
and I quote
"In 1993 along with friend Paul Hobbs aka Dj Force, Darren signed to legendary Hardcore label, Kniteforce records...Artist name 'Force + Evolution'"
Hmmm No Mr Hughes and Mr Broomfield then. I suppose they just sat there and made the tea. |

Clarke man ...
your crazy if you think these girls are gonna change their minds... they all want a shag.
PS he is a twat. |

sorry but dont get it who are mr hughes and mr broomfield? and what did they do? |
| Epze |
I don't get it. Maybe Darren Styles used to make hardcore, but now that he is clearly making pop-music which is not hardcore. So why there are pop songs on the hardcore news?
Ps. he's a twat. |
| otto20 |
Darren Styles is a hero in the scene. All new releases are bangin and beautiful songs. Also Breeze & Styles are fantastic pair to make music. I like that they also make club and trance tracks and remixes. Because that tells their music is nice and they are make good other genres music too. I think i make also many kind of music because of music. I like to buy Arturia Brass soft and add horns and brasses to my music.

the words hardcore and darrenstyles should not be used in the same sentence -apart from this one obviously.
we should of kicked him out the scene long ago, he has NOTHING to do with hardcore anymore. he's just a queer twat. o¬

Sorry mate but i gotta disagree with that. In this year hardcore does not mean what it did 15 years ago. Darren Styles produces hardcore and does it well.
clarke can you pls explain what being signed to kniteforce has to do with styles being a twat, even though he jumped the sinkin ship instead of helpin out. from what i understand most djs did. i asssume there is more to it than that...

no, darren styles produces softcore, even his 'hardcore' is softcore. he's like a wannabe ex-boyband member churning out shite.
darren styles has NOTHING to do with hardcore. I produce HARDCORE.

DJ Force and The Evoluiton was 4 thats 4 people not 2 as listed on both his gayspace and website. Has nothing to do with Knitefroce. Twat was to harsh a word i should have stuck to tit as i said in my original post.

| RAVER7 |
not a twat just forgot what side his bread is buttered on. |
| Audio X |
I actually really that DnB remix of Jealous... and I ****ing HATE the original. |
| Dartford-ravin-crew |
I will give styles his due credit he can sing.
He has sold out all his raving fans to make abit of money.
He has opened the scene up to all the night club trouble makes and is the start of the down fall of hardcore.
Hardcore is an underground scene with excellent music but he just wants to cash in on all the hard work the Godfathers of hardcore did!
Did Slipmatt sell out and change his style to match what sells in the charts no he released the music we are all here to listen to.
THANKS ALOT STYLES FOR RUINING HARDCORE!!!!!!!!!!! |
| whittle1 |
Decent myspace, shalt give him an add asap!
Personally, i love his music. Comercial and hardcore. |

thats the one and only time i'll agree with u 95. Anymore topics about him should be posted in the 'Now thats what i call music' forum. |
| DJ-Pure |
To be honest most of them My space sites are bull shit, just a fan doing a favour that i doubt Styles even knows about. he might do he might not who knows.
Anyways i heard Darren Styles - Save me acoustic version on BBC Radio 2 the other day, here comes the comercialisum (**** spelling!) |

Nick Arnold did a piano version of Lost in Space, it was fantastic. Doesnt mean anything. If someone wants to do other styles, whats the harm? Thats the main problem with UK and Dutch Hardcore, inbreeding. |
| Mortis |
Not checked out the myspace. Styles has been a bit hit and miss for me the last few years, I've love all Force & Evolution tracks that I have, I love every Force & Styles track (apart from the Heart of Gold on Diverse). I like most Unique, and alot of Breeze & Styles tracks. I have nothing against the guy, over the years I think he's earned the right to be considered one of the top producers & DJ's in the hardcore scene.
Styles can do what ever he likes, it doesn't bother me. |
| Audio X |

Actually, yeah. He did. He only just recently came back to doing hardcore.

| silver |
Darrren styles is hardcore, if other people want to remix his tunes into pop music and he can make some money from it it doesn't bother me. From a production standpoint all his songs are good, I don't particular care for some of them but only because I'm not into that style of music, I'm sure there are other people out there that are that will like it. I'll listen to his hardcore to which I like.
95_was_the_time: Calling people gay because they like a sort of music is pointless. |

I don't know what you're getting at, Darren is the real deal, no it's not Thin n Crispy hardcore, Next Gen or Evolution hardcore, it's his own hardcore. You really need to goto a big event and watch the room explode when one of his tracks is played. |
| Alkivar |
That same crowd was exploding to Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone a few years earlier... that same crowd clearly has no taste.
****ing sellouts are ****ing sellouts.
Vinylgroover, Slipmatt, Styles...
theres lots of em who moved where the money was only to come crawling back when hardcore got popular again. |

Styles was one of the few mainstream hardcore DJ's who actually stayed with the scene when it 'died', how is that 'selling out' exactly?

| clarke101 |
For the record. I couldnt care less what music he makes. A few years ago, for me he was make some of best hardcore around. Now my tates have changed and to be honest his tracks are not a patch on the stuff from a couple of years ago.

Just one thing i wouldnt call it backstabbing whispering mate. If you look through the replies quite a few say how much they respect styles and what he's doin, others sayin they hate it then a bit of abuse.
Personally i dont really care about a hardcore "scene" or who was producing music still in a couple years when there wasnt many raves on, at end of the day reason there wasnt many raves on is the majority of the music was terrible and nobody wanted to hear it.
So i dont really see it as backstabbing if i dont like someones tunes, jus personal tastes.
But aye it is gettin boring the amount of these threads goin up |

Hahahaha quality description and i agree, is the way so many tunes sound so similar in terms of synths and samples and effects used which made me get bored of uk and mainstream dutch hardcore.
Always nice to hear music made by people with wide range of tastes making rave music, more mashed up the better a lot of the time. Always really respected Luna C for that.
Just when the other styles there bringin is pop music, eurodance, scouse house or whatever i think i'll pass thanks |

I agree with Silver on this actually, tho i say i hate most of his tracks in actuall fact i just hate how repeptative they are from beeing over played, no doubt Darren styles has set the stand point for a new kind of hardcore that seems to be kicking on to the main stream in full effect but how long will it be till he is repeated over and over like so many other main stream tittles today? |
| Leto |
I've never thought a Darren Styles track was poorly produced, I think a lot of his tracks are awesome...
His remix of Silver Water is one of my current faves....
Although, some of his tracks I find boring, doesn't mean he isn't a hardcore artist. I agree with Silver.
Only problem I have with him is his mixes on Clubland X-Treme Hardcore, they pale in comparison to Breeze's mixing. Styles' mixes usually bore me to tears.
At any rate, his songs sound awesome pitched up at 180+ BPM...:P

| Hardcore_2_Da_Bone |
'Darren also works very closely with arguably the UK's biggest commercial dance label 'All Around the World' Writing hits not only for himself but for huge artists such as Danni Minogue.'
'TYPE OF LABEL:
Independent Electronic Dance'
Nuff sed  |

Haha... this topic is bollocks! and funny... simply cuse if you asked ME this last year... i would of been "bitching" just the same!
But you know what a good old year on happyhardcore.com teachs you!...
...That... Sometimes you ALL need to sit back and stop being such a "TWAT" YOUSELF!!!
...FFS... STFU!!! The guy is making money from what he loves!
If you was in his shoes you'd be loving it!
Now his stuff really isn't my taste... nor do i really think its hardcore...
but at the same time i don't disrespect his talent (which he has got!)

I find it interesting that it's only now, after he's gained mainstream success that people are bitching about his hardcore sound. Even though imho his style (no pun intended) hasn't changed for around 4 years now. I can still remember back in '03 when everyone was raving about how awesome his new tracks were... |

Once again, i feel just the same 
But you know what...? Why care lol [somthing i've started asking myself]
Why sit behind a computer and pretend that tat shoitty posts on a forum might somehow CHANGE the "scene" - cuse it won't haha!
The way i see it... they wanna go that roote... fine... do it!
But i'm gonna f*ck off else where!
Theres plenty of music styles around mate to explore - and that includes hardcore!
^^^ don't worry about "raverbaby" - as its been said time and time again, one day the'll come crashing down! - and who knows... mabie another style/scene of hardcore will become the dominate (e.g. freeform, hardcore breaks!)
^^^^ and then what.... oh i know, why not all bitch on a forum of how shit freeform and HB producers are... meh meh meh  haha lol
Same old circle ^^^ time and time again with ALL music [not just hardcore] you just know it will happen! - but hey... fek it! |
| clarke101 |
I dont care about the change really. Im just a little dissapointed that what was once a good label has now become an AATW puppet.

Surely every sound belongs to hardcore! thats the beauty of it! It takes every sound and tries something different to the original sound! Doesn't work for some people but others love it! thats why its so diverse! DS has stayed with what he knows and what will sell! whats the problem with that? You don't have to buy or listen to his music if you don't like it!

| clarke101 |
Decent trance doesnt sound anything like Raver Baby stuff anyway. Raver Baby sounds like chart dance music / euro dance at about 30 bpm's higher. It is however better than the donktastic stuff that quosh release.
And trance has been in Hardcore for more than a decade. |

I think his post was more referring to the people calling Darren a twat, tit, or gay. Honestly, that's unneeded and uncalled-for. And most of the comments are made by people bitter about something they only know half the story of. Know what I mean?
On topic, which is admittedly a new thing for some of you ;)... His myspace is fairly slick. Simple and snazzy with some nice tracks to listen to. God DAMN I love Dropzone... <3

Despite my personal offense to this absolute shit comment, I'll skip the ranting. I will, however, ask one thing: if Castles In The Sky is such shit, why the hell did it get so popular? Or is the world stupid except for you and the other annual bitchers here at HH.com? :) |
