Ok i know i have not been kind to these guys despite their hard work and i realised how much of their work the last couple of years i have quite enjoyed. So for a change i decided to list the tracks they have made as a collab that have hit the mark for me recently.
-It started with found a groove. When the second album was released i gave it a miss and when it finally got a digital release on trackitdown, i discovered found a groove which i couldn't immediately explain why i liked so much but a couple of years on it's still a great track and i still have no idea why.
-2012 also brought don't let go of love which again is a bit of an enigma for me, i don't like the opening but after 30 seconds it started to make sense. It's a nice easy going vocal tune that i find hard to skip.
-2013 was when it really happened for me with coming back to me which is catchy as hell and also the point where i really started to like what they were doing. HU6 was released and CDjay sent me HU ep 4 i think and i found two tracks i fell in love with being Just a ride and promises. The first i think is part due to my being a Bill Hicks fan but even then the tune is immense and promises was the subject of quite a Dj tools related hissy fit on my part. Both of those tracks make my all time top 100 which i'm quite proud of to be honest.
-This year has been a good year for them. I quite like No dark clouds from live at rehab, but the one that really hits home is Magic chords from the magic chord album that arrived today that i think i've listened to seven or so times. There has been some other stuff in between of course but the above are the main ones that have hit the spot. |

They're simply the best. A lot of emotion and good synths and melodies in their tracks. Definitely my #1 (I do actually believe Darwin is the best, Fracus is good but not a fan of the majority of his solo stuff but he has some wicked good ones). :) |

as djs: they are really hot i love the set they play in live
as producers: FRACUS is good but not amazing but DARWIN is ****ing dangerous with his intense melodies inspired by the trance. when they work together sometimes they make very good work and sometimes less good. for me the best tracks are:FLOOR BURN,REALMS & ROGH-CUTS,A NEW DAYS COMES. |

I can't wait for the official commemorative plate, series of pogs, and the underwear range. |

The reason you like Found A Groove so much is because it's a big tune!
I love it. |
| CDJay |
If you like Found a Groove, you'll love End On A Hard Note!

Actually, I found Found a Groove to be really good but I disliked End On A Hard Note. :P They're not similar at all!? XD |

Saying you don't like End On A Hard Note is like saying you don't like music as a whole. |

It was slightly more factoring of Vladels taste for big kick tracks paired with the overriding temperament of Found A Groove. Not necessarily a guide for all.
I still think you're mad, mind

End on a hard note is ridiculously good.
But i'm old, so the Happy/Bouncy sound is always a winner for me. |

"Standing In The Rain" (Point Of No Return) never seems to get a mention despite its brilliance!
There's actually quite a few hidden gems on that album. |

Are probably the best known production duo in Hardcore apart from Dougal and Gammer.
The rest have stopped. Breeze & Styles, Brisk & Ham, Recon & Squade, Sy & Unkown seem to all be doing their own things now. |

Best duo ever
Best tracks ever
They made my day very happy (or dirty) with their happy and uplifting tracks. *drops money* |

I can't even imagine the hardcore scene without this duo, or the hardcore underground label for that matter. The only gripe I have is that the albums they release can be a little too pricey... but I guess you have to pay for quality right? |
