Just did a google to see if there was any more news on HH6 and found this vid which seems to indicate Haywire might be involved!

Admittedly, not keen on either of them , generally.
Will probably pick up to support, but might not be too pleased with some of the tracks. Who knows though, maybe I am in for a surprise.
Def needs to be some fresh unheard stuff though, with as little hardcore as there is, I am sure most of us have already bought damn near everything. We need NEW toons!

Yeah, i saw this video yesterday on FB. I'm personally really looking forward to HH6! I'm hoping for fresh tunes from Macks Wolf & Jakka-B, not just some of their latest tracks / remixes that are already out
Yes looking forward to this also, haven't seen a tracklisting yet. Anyone know a release date?

I hope you're right with that prediction mate.
I'm the same, love the series. Is it just the later installments that have radio edits in? I have only used a couple of tracks off 4 and 5 for mixes.
There are radio edits in every one except volume 2. Just to clarify I know Al Storm will say it's not a radio edit because he didn't specifically edit them but what I mean is they are not dj friendly. Or have endings that don't contain a beat.
This makes it extremely hard to mix with or means you have to do a cut transition which I am not a fan of. I prefer to have full intros and outros and wish more tracks were like the old ones.
Also the clashing. OMG the Clashing. Seems like almost every track is made with the same sample pack.
Not that I'm complaining about the tracks they are great I love the music I just wish they were easier to work with as a DJ. I would play some of them a lot more if I was able to do without such challenges. I also feel they deserve more play time but again they aren't easy to play.
Here is my list of what I would call radio edits.
Hardcore Heaven 1
MOB & Enemy feat. Nina - Iron Heart (HH Edit)
Stonebank - Who's Got Your Love
Hardcore Heaven 3
Fracus & Darwin - Share This Love
Hardcore Heaven 4
Al Storm & Euphony Feat. Laelia - Life In The Air
Michael Mansion vs Rob IYF & Al Storm - Rise Above
Al Storm & Euphony Feat Laelia - Like It Like That (Hardcore Heaven VIP Mix)
Al Storm & Euphony Feat. Laelia - Never Loved Me
Hardcore Heaven 5
Fracus & Darwin Vs. Macks Wolf - Hold On To The Fire (HH5 Intro Mix)
Al Storm - The Noisemaker Is Back (Hardcore Heaven Intro Mix)
Euphony - Welcome To The Rave
Al Storm & Euphony - Where's Your Head At (Rob IYF 2019 VIP)
The Watchmen - Take On The World (Hardcore Heaven Remix)
Al Storm & Euphony Feat Laelia - Water In The Flame
Discard of VIP Intros, and add this to the package. Hixxy - Wanting To Get High (Al Storm & Rob IYF Remix).

Ok had a run through it now and i pretty much think this is Hardcore heaven 6 ( for the first disk and 50% kinda pop music ) not as attractive a title i know but it's bloody sad state of affairs when HARDCORE underground submits to the 160 Bpm crowd. We are truely f**ked.
I'll be over there listening to Re-style and korsakoff not because i'm going off Uk hardcore but because no one makes it anymore.

So, since HU does have problems to ship stuff to Chile for a long time. Anyone wants to help me to cover this album?
PS: the tracklist for Disc 1 seems to be madness, Disc 2 mid upfront, mid known. Anyone did take care that Hit 'Em Like This is appeared once again.

both discs are 160?
I think it's pretty clear the 160 route is clearly not the way forward. Really, really disappointing.
As Vladel stated, I definitely would have went / featured some re style / faster like music, which is far more fitting and more likely to entice a larger crowd. I don't get why once again , the appeal is geared toward an unpopular and rather dull side genre.

Having listened to the Disc 1 previews up on Soundcloud, I won't be rushing out to buy this (although I will do eventually just to add to the collection of HU albums). 20% of the disc is remixes of old tracks and I personally don't think any of the remixes improve on the originals.
On a side note, I am willing to bet my left testicle that Maxi Malone uses Fracus to, at the very least, engineer his tracks.

Listened the previews (some) but I can say that
Disc 1: Sick stuff, updates or VIP from the last decade. Fresh collaborations and more Fracus & Darwin as stand alone. Miss it.
Disc 2: 160 BPM BANGERS, I only hope that could be mixed at 165 or 170 due "Chasing The Sun" anthem.

The first disk is 170bpm and disk 2 is around 60% 160 Bpm

Purchased and listened to a few times over the weekend. It's the same story as with a few previous HH's - Fracus & Darwin disc has a selection of outstanding original tracks mixed in with some tired remixes we keep hearing over and over again. And of course, disc 2 is just underwhelming as has been the trend for a while now. I will say this though; because I'm not sure that many people actually realise it, but each previous version of Hardcore Heaven (including this one) has featured a different artist on CD 2 each time and that's perfect because I don't think they've found that standout artist yet who should prominently feature alongside F&D. Can we have Jakazid next? Despite my criticisms I do still believe it's the best Hardcore compilation out there today. Overall, an above average entry in the Hardcore Heaven series.

Looks like one of the files is corrupt as i can't open or rename it. And the Chwhynny deluxe download appears to be missing a track!
I downloaded the Chwhynny album yesterday and the deluxe component is missing two tracks: I Am and Still I Am.
