Paul Elstak- Love you more- any version (Sytunned Guy's is the best imo) Rather my Bouncy Techno though but I am working on a vocals only mix for Valentine's Day!

When I'm playing a set, I usually play 12-13 non-vocal tracks and a couple of vocal classics as a treat =]

non vocal, vocals dont make it 'hardcore' otherwise.

both have their time and place. sometimes i think it's good to have an 100% vocal set, other times it'll be good to hear a non-vocal set, sometimes a mix of both is good to help break up the monotony of a set.

i really don't care though when it comes right down to it, but yes sometimes i do get tired of set after set of cheesey vocals.

there are good and bad for both types, but i think that it's all about finding a balance.

I personally like it non-vocal. However, if there is a vocal SAMPLE that is very limited in what it says, I like that.

Vocal music.

Darren Styles "Save Me" Sy & Unknown remix
Ineffect & Gammer "Stuck In A Moment"
Dougal & Gammer "Rainfall"
Frisky & Hujib "Cast A Spell"

Non vocal

G Spencer & Gammer "Reflections"
Cube Hard "Music Of The Primes"
Sharkey & Gammer "Heaven Know"

Those are some of my favourites.

Both but a bias towards instrumental tracks. Different types of vocals in a set is good too (Male, Female, Rap, Deep, Euphoric etc) - just mix it up.

Most of the mainstream Hardcore mixes I've heard all seem to have the same style vocals one after another which IMHO gets pretty boring after a while.

Oh and bodging a vocal onto a instrumental classic rarely works IMHO!
