... its sometimes like nu-nrg, its sometimes like a soft form of gabber, its sometimes like pop-core, but never exactly any of those. Its fantastic!
Almost every track I end up playing nowadays is vagabond related, after many years of United Dance oldskool and newstyles from the 2000 era, he is now dominating my hardcore collection.
My favourites are his song remixes, like Guns N Roses Sweet Child of Mine, bit of Solex - Close to the edge, Paul Van Dyk - nothing but you. Twists them it into Hardcore, uses MC samples and a heavy crunchy kick drum and gets away with it nicely. That crunchy bassline is what does it for me, esp on lead-ins when you can really hear it, and then out of the blue it kicks into a track you usually recognise in the breakdown, effin awesome!

V.A.G.A.B.O.N.D. is a fantastic producer. It's a shame Darren Styles won Best Producer when V.A.G.A.B.O.N.D. or Gammer truly deserved it.

He sometimes uses hard kicks which makes his tracks more stomping than most mainstream stuff! His remix of Brisk and Ham's Crazy love is not a track to skip past imo...

I also love his "orchestral" sounding tracks... hard to describe but no one has that same style. Really full and immersive sound...

I like his more happier tracks, but I do tend to listen to his harder tracks.
