During 2019 to 2021 there was quite a bit of great sounding UK Hardcore tracks. In 2019 there were the Hardcore Heaven 4 & 5 albums from Hardcore Underground and the label also was releasing various artist album and artist anthology albums. There was also the HH vol 6 album in 2020 - Fracus & Darwin, Macks Wolf & Jakka-B, had forgotten about that album. I did get volumes 4 & 5 which were good, some very good quality UK Hardcore tracks on them.
Some tracks around 2019-2021 I liked and still do:
Mark Breeze & Macks Wolf - Turn on the light
Jakka-B - Chasing the sun
Technikore, JTS, Firelite - Close to me
Technikore & Tweekacore - Find the spark
Technikore - Stay Forever
Summa Jae - Oblivion
Summa Jae - Find Me
Jakka-B & Macks Wolf - I don't wanna fall
The Viper, Boogshe & Paul Elstak- Rave, rinse, repeat
The point of the post is to question were there various things that affected how things have gone in UK hardcore within that past few years. I've heard some tracks within the past few years but certainly haven't been keeping track of all labels and new releases - so there could be more decent tracks that haven't been aware of.
I am aware of more tracks being at 160 bpm and many releases having a stronger hardstyle influence than a few years so. Other parts of tracks that I think have changed in recent years is different track arrangements that what would usually be in UK hardcore and shorter tracks.
A number of factors in the scene that could have affected things:
- Covid pandemic could have affected many aspects eg. would have had an affect on hardcore events
- Labels releasing slower tempo tracks
- Labels and artists releasing more hardstyle-influenced and other hard dance genre influenced tracks
