Technikore is of the best and most underrated producers around today in my opinion. His output has slowed down a lot in recent years but between about 2009 and 2012, he had an almost untouchable run.
All brilliant:
Yours Tonight
On Our Own Now
Runaway
World On Fire
Hide & Seek
Sensory Overload
Fallen
Sun Is Rising
Lonely
Fade Away
Everytime We Say Goodbye remix
Like The Sun
Sheltered
Fireflies remix
Reloaded
Somebody
Lights Down Low
Had Enough
Moments
Eternity
Guitar Hero remix
I'm probably forgetting some.
His weakness has always been consistency but the highs in his track record are very high and there's a lot of them.
Can we please get some Technikore love going?
arpz
I'll throw some love that way...
Don't need ya anymore
Claret-E
Rock Me Out remix
Little White Lies
Calling Out to You
My Intention 2014
As the Rush Comes
Damaged
Tell me they aren't all bangers as well!
Rodz90
Technikore & Zander - My Territory
Technikore - All F**king Over It

We can definitely get some Technikore love going.
"On Our Own Now", holy damn.... one of my all time favorites right there
Technikore & MC Static - Wanna Be There
Shimamura feat. Yukacco - Dazzling (JTS & Technikore Mix)
Hardcore Masif - Rhythm Is A Dancer (Technikore Mix)
Sy & Technikore - Turn Me Out
Technikore feat. Alison Wade - Feel Alive
Technikore - Dance If You Can't
- - - stomp the mother f'ing floor with this one

Look at the heaven remix
Crazier remix
WTF
on our own now
takes my breath away
among some of the tracks of his i like but like a lot of producers fell off the face of the quality earth for me after 2011.
Bad Corey
His recent stuff is still amazingly solid.
Tracks like Technikore a& JTS - Party Party People or Technikore & Obie - Mr. Hoover are ****ing ROCKING right now. His output in hardcore puts most others to shame, and he does as much if not more in another genre entirely as Technikal. I have no idea how one person can make so much music in so little time with such a majority of it being good.

Alf's been working on new hardcore but waiting for the right time to release it.
We have in Australia Oneseventy Records launching soon and you will hear a lot of it on that label.
For me his bootleg of Nero - The Thrill (Porter Robinson Remix) is unbelievable. Not sure if many people have heard that yet.

Gregor Le Dahl & Dan S feat. Nathalie - Devil In Disguise (Technikore Remix)
Technikore, JTS & Cotts - Monsters Belly
Technikore & Mob - Fallen
Gregor le DahL & Mansy Vs Dan S. Feat. Nathalie - Need Your Medicine (Technikore Remix)
amazing ****ing tracks

I got his USB entire collection thing recently and it really did open my eyes to how many good tracks his done.
Follow The Light was one of the first tracks I ever bought. Used to mix that relentlessly.
And, I loved his collab with Cyrax for Difference. What a HUGE track that is. He should definitely write some more stuff like that. Sensational.
Also: absolutely fcuking top bloke. Most genuine bloke I've met in Hardcore.
Claxton
Technikore is outstanding!!!
His hardcore has never pretended to be anything other that what it is. Music to make people happy.

That's great news! I hope he sticks to his guns and keeps producing in a similar style. He (thankfully) never fully committed to producing the "new" hardcore and I hope that's because he prefers making the older stuff that he does so well.

Have you heard Sun Is Rising or Fallen?
Also I wouldn't say he fell off in 2012 at all. Maybe after that but not in 2012. Off the top of my head, he released Breakaway, Lonely, Betrayed and Stay in 2012. All good tracks.

He's completely underrated. Yours Tonight and On Our Own Now are two of my favourite hardcore tracks of all time.
I'd buy the collection but I already bought the vast majority of Supersonik when it came out. What I'd really like to see him do is create a collection of *all* his tracks because they're so scattered across so many labels and sources. It's hard to get a complete Technikore discography. Discogs seems to be missing a lot of tracks. :(
DJ D-Luc-D
Too many good tracks from Technikore to be honest (particularly Yours Tonight and On Our Own Now), one I don't think anyone has mentioned is Immerze - Come Back To Me (Technikore Remix). It never got a digital release though. :(

You forgot some of my personal favourites:
Calling Out To You
Kiss The Sound
Extraordinary
Heartbreaker
Those who remember me from Ush probably know how obsessed I was with getting Raver Baby digitals, and especially Technikore's tracks like the ones mentioned above. Alf always kept me uptodate with what was going on and how he was trying to push for digital releases, and when he saw how disappointed I was when Kiss The Sound and Extraordinary finally got a release but were still Vinyl only, he put together a package with lots of WAVs of tracks I really wanted and sent it over to me to Germany! I will never forget that.

His brother, Intraspekt/Spekky/Toby is a straight up dude too, he lives quite local to me and I met him years ago when he was making jump up drum and bass and he is a very funny guy. He still makes drum and bass but it's been cool to see them working together on some tracks, and some intraspekt tracks appearing on various hc albums as well.
The drunken scotsman
Agree with most of what's been said so far, great producer - in my opinion the most underrated in hardcore. My personal favourite from him is Lights down low, but there's so many more great tracks in his back catalogue. Top bloke too, always really friendly. Always remember his set at HTID ITS 2012, he was absolutely wasted, but played a great set with 4 mc's on stage.

Elliott
The breakdown in Sun Is Rising is stunning. One of those rare tracks where the breakdown gets me going as much as the drop.
By the way, more than 50 different tracks have been mentioned in this thread and Technikore only started producing hardcore in about 2007. How can anyone not rate this guy?
Elliott
Decided to follow up on trying to get a complete list of Technikore tracks.

Do you happen to have a complete list of all your tracks anywhere? Tracking down your complete discography is a nightmare. I bought almost all of the Supersonik releases but if I'm not mistaken, that's less than half of your total output.
Thanks :)

Technikal / Technikore
Hey man, ahh thanks so much - that's very warming to read!
Rest assured I'm busy working on new stuff, I had a quiet year so far due to getting ready to move to Australia, my studio has been in transit for the best part of 4 months now and also with me juggling 3 different projects (Technikore / Technikal / Ikorus) alongside doing other stuff like TV advert projects, it gets a little more difficult to write as much as I was around 2008-2012 kinda time.
I don't have a complete list, but what I can do is do a list of everything in my masters folder for you to work out what you have / need etc. Drop me a message to remind me next few days, just at the airport at the moment and bandwidth is a bit rubbish here! Thanks for the kind words mate.
Looks like you guys were right about him.

I absolutely LOVE Alfie Technikore. Brilliant producer, superb DJ and in my opinion, he should have found his way on to many hardcore compilation albums through the years instead of a few other DJs out there that did consistently.
He was then and still is absolutely outstanding. Just wish the music still sounding like some of these bangers pre 2014, not to say his recently music isn't excellent which it is... some of the best in the scene right now by a distance.
Long live Technikore!!!!

cant stand his current sound tbh. seen someone else say the same thing, and this was his response.
"I'm not sure I can agree with that. Before this 'style' (which itself is just influenced by slightly more modern production values and trends), literally everybody was using the VEC Hard 185 kick drum in every track, everyone was doing one finger stepped melodies, and it was craving a fresh direction. I absolutely love the new sound, that's why I make it. Not because I'm following a formula or trend, but because I like it. I'd be silly to make it if I didn't, each track takes so many hours to produce now, I have to enjoy what I'm working on. I'm sorry it's not for you, but hardcore is no more formulaic than it's ever been, or most genres of electronic dance music to be fair."
Samination
Well, I kinda agree that I dont like his stuff either. But that's at least a much, much better answer than Gammer would've given. Kudos for him saying that he likes the current sound instead of saying that the old one was suffocating him, like Gammer did.

I don't want to sound negative but i haven't really liked anything he has done in seven years.
Sulphurik
Yes I've not heard many tracks at all from Technikore for a while but have came across some of his tunes from last year and more recent ones. Have to say impressed with what I've heard!
Tracks I've came across on beatport sounding good.
Weaver is back on OneSeventy label with a new collab with Technikore - Find You Now.

Man his new tracks are the best he has ever made.
They are getting signed by Tweekacore & Darren Styles Electric Fox label. Which is probably the biggest international Hardcore label at the moment due to it catering for both the European and UK scene.
The scene needs fresh productions. Repeating the same old dated sound over and over again is plain boring and was killing the scene. The stuff today is way more intelligent and better produced than the stuff from.the 2000's.
That era had good music, but that is in the past. Time to look to the future. Hardcore will never ever go back to that time. Is done and dusted. Time to move on.
MASSIVE RESPECT TO GUYS LIKE TECHIKORE, DARREN STYLES, ALEX PROSPECT & MACKS WOLF TAKING HARDCORE TO A NEW ERA.
Leave the haters in the past.

It was suffocating everyone. Try eating the same meal for 7 days in a row. That is what the old Trance Hardcore was feeling like.
Everyone has moved on from that era. Even Hixxy when you hear his new podcasts on Rinse FM.
A new generation of ravers love it. Let them enjoy it. They will never care for stuff from the 2000s.

Technikore is doing great work always been very fond of him.
Amazing track. Techikore is a phenomenal talent, and we're very lucky to have him. It's telling that the UK Hardcore NWO wasted money and platform on importing ex and part time hardcore djs whilst utterly ignoring the genuine now-local-talent over there. As a scene we've got better at exporting provably failed strategies than music. Time to pull "UK" out of the title 🇬🇧😜😅
The problem always is when everyone does the same thing. The best new direction for the genre is diversity, experimentation, not throwing away genre roots and troupes, and people "playing with their heart". I've been saying this since 2012, but since it's all basically died under the alternate mooted model (and we're alive) it *might* get listened to more closely 😂😉
Lots more coming this year 😎

alot of truth for sure.
whatev, they can keep their garbage. the psytrance scene nowdays is more hardcore than this gaffe. or the dnb scene. basically any other genre i listen to feels more hardcore than this hardstyley crap

It's gash. See, there is a world of difference between a song using vocal samples, and a song written around the vocal. The latter is what suffocates all hardcore. and has done for 20 years.
