Yes! Clubland Xtreme Hardcore 2 drops soon...
We’ve hooked up with the three best-loved hardcore DJs for this monster album. It’s a 3CD set with Darren Styles and Breeze each mixing a CD and Hixxy providing his best tracks and remixes on the bonus third disc, bless his heart.
Like last time, you’ll have the perfect package of classics, pumping remixes, ace exclusives and brand new 160bpm madness.
We’ll be bringing you the full-lowdown shortly but you’ll be blown away by hardcore versions of Sunblock’s ‘I’ll Be Ready’, Meck’s ‘Thunder In My Heart’, LMC’s ‘Don’t Let Go’ and U2’s ‘Beautiful Day’ (yes, really).
Also, kicking butt will be Ultrabeat’s ‘Elysium’, 05/06’s biggest hardcore moment.'
I'm really dissapointed with this, 160bpm, what are they thinking? If its true I might even have to side with Evel on this one...

i can just picture this now and it's a knightmare, really not what i grew up thinking "hardcore" was.

wont be my thing i could have told you anyway but im sure a lotta people will enjoy it so cant really complain, moneys to be made someones gotta make it.
I really dont class music like that hardcore though, dunno what i class it as speedscouse or somethin. Is what people seem to want though and i bet it sells truckloads.
And i cant say a slice of the cash wouldnt be nice, they aint killing babies or anything so before anyone starts the "clubland are bastards" argument just remember we've been there before and i seriously dont think the people involved care what people on the internet think.
i'll listen to the clips for a laff when they come up but i can safely say this cd will never be played through a stereo of mine, but to those into that style will have a lot of anthems and will get a lotta new people into hardcore who'll get right into the scene and explore (well some of them anyway) so it aint all bad.

where does it say anything about feb 13th????? i can see it written any where on their website!
Going by what clubland have written about the CLXH2, it looks pretty shit. All those remixes of clubland classics. But what do you expect. The thing is I WILL BUY THIS ALBUM!
i wont exactly enjoy it..but hidden amongst all the shit there will be a few gems. i.e Darren Styles - Save me...i need this tune and i will spend £14 to get it!!!

For retro fans, you’ll have versions of ‘Let Me Be Your Fantasy’, ‘Pretty Green Eyes’, ‘Shooting Star’, ‘You’re Shining’ and that perennial fave ‘Set U Free’.

Sorry, but do we REALLY have to hear yet more mixes of 'Pretty Green Eyes', 'Shooting Star', 'You're Shining' and ESPECIALLY 'Set u free'?
Meh! I'll reserve judgement for now. I'll wait till I see the tracklisting.

Who the F*ck are they tryin to kid 160BPM WTF
At least the first one was in the 175BPM area you know average hardcore speed and that but jeez they are havin a laugh. Hard House is usually between 150-160BPM GRRRRRRRRRRR
And WTF are they talkin about Ultrabeats Elysium - It's Scott Brown you Bast*rds and dont you forget it. It does my head in Hardcore tune turned Scouse House by someone else and then when someone remixes that back to hardcore It's a remix of the Chart Tune not the original
Probably still buy it tho i can pitch my CD player up

Could be a typo - or written by someone that doesn't really have much of a clue. I'm sure if will be a similar speed to the first.

You've got to realise that this album is not just targeted to fans of hardcore for many years now. There will be loads of people, not fully aware of the hardocre scene, that will go into a shop, or browse an internet shop or whatever, see the clubland brand and decide to look at it.
Tracks like the Baywatch theme, Set You Free and other remixes of famous dance songs will probably increase the demand for this because people may wanna listen to these "harder" versions.
If they decided to fill up with new tracks from hardcore specific artists then the average joe would just decide not to buy it because they haven't heard any one the songs.
As it has been discussed the people behind the Clubland series are after money like anyone else and by including these 'cheesy' tracks hey are bound to sell more copies

Anno i'm not the only one that thinks this way but does anyone else on here think last year was the year big raves became shit, but at the same time a lot of smaller ones opened up or took off really catering for the hardcore?
As the music became softer and more pop like atmosphere at big raves got less and less "hardcore". Someone on ush cracked me up saying raves have become filled with "plastic ravers" which i thought was spot on. Always meet nice people at any event but the atmospheres definitely changed and it doesnt feel like a rave should.
In a way i'm glad the scenes split this way cos it keeps everyone happy, i've got no interest in clubland's style of hardcore or any event where i have to hear more than one set of it. but at the same time loadsa people are having the time of there life there and meeting loadsa friends.
I started off listening to hardcore through pirate stations in glasgow and everything was ultracheese, and was all kids listenin in. It did really spoil the scene up there though because before that the generation before us were all right into bouncy techno and gabba, all of sudden kids got into the scene through the cheese and there was a big divide in what people wanted. certain dj comes on all the cheeseheads get up to dance, while the older ones are sitting down moaning and vice versa. All the big raves ended up shutting down and forra while was hardly any events, fair play to twisted though always stuck to there own style and kept up a loyal following.
but this time does seem different it's as if the scenes split in two with some promoters going for the anthems and big names to get people through the door, but theres also been more support for other nights giving people something new and different aswell. Gabba's defo on the up it's still not that big over here but theres been a lot more interesting lineups at events over the country in the last year.
Basically i cant really knock this cd cos at 13 it's exactly what i'dve wanted, as long as the raves i like keep going i'm happy to just leave people to enjoy what they want to hear.
