Heard this for the first time twenty minutes ago. Seriously good! The first fifty seconds or so is just unbelievable. Makes me smile so fcuking much!!

Is a great tune, but production sounds very dated. It's like the old raverbaby sound from 5 years ago. I would have bought it back then, but not now.

I like it. Just listened to his other tracks and they're all in a similar style. I think there's a massive demand for this kind of hardcore at the minute.
Just stumbled across this when browsing soundcloud :O

I don't know if it does sound 'dated' as such, to me. I don't have anything approaching a professional ear, though - so maybe it does. I like the style it's been produced in. Really like it. I do actually massively prefer the Hardcore from five years ago as well.

It is so, so good! I wasn't able to listen to it all day - came home and played it about twenty times. Ahh it just gets better and better!

Not taking anything away from Flawless, they do have a bright future in Hardcore judging by how good their production is on this tune.
I've just noticed the old hard trance string is being used less in dance music in general. I do like it, but find it was a little over used as good as it sounds.
I prefer the way hardcore is going now compared to the 2000's, seems to be getting back to it's roots where it was more raw and experimental.
Guess this is what I mean by more the current sound going around with alot more filtering, reverb in the leads with plenty of drops throughout the track.

Yeah, I hear ya man. And I do understand/appreciate the different kind of sound that is around at the moment. Anything For You is a magnificent piece of music, and NiX is a personal favourite of mine. I added that very tune to my SoundCloud favourites a few days ago.
I don't dislike the modern sound, at all. I like it. But I like more the 2000's sound. You've obviously got a much more acute production ear/understanding/vocabulary then I have, so all I can offer is the following description. As I said, I don't dislike the newer sound, but these are some of my opinions on it. I think it sounds a little too mechanical (if that makes sense). It chugs along in an almost momentum-killing way, and it doesn't sound as wholesome as stuff from a few years ago, or earlier. I liken the sound of it to when you're mixing, and you're too late in the mix, and all you've got playing are the later stages of the outro of the previous tune, and the early stages of the intro to the tune coming in - it just lacks a bit of umph.
I'll repeat, again: I do like very much the newer sound - but because of the differences I've tried to communicate above, I prefer slightly older stuff (or older-sounding stuff [with Hold You In My Heart being a good example]).

Sounds decent, will have a listen again tomorrow but a bit louder, girlfriends trying to sleep atm so I gotta keep it down! Definately worth another listen, agree with Rafferty about it sounding dated. It's true but it also sounds new at the same time, nothing particularly original or creative about it, heard it all before, but new cheese in a different melody is always good :P
