I still think there is too big a wave of male vocals flooding the genre.
Agreed with that. I hate male vocals. They just don't sound right. If a choon with male vocals comes on i'll skip it.
I know general consensus seems to be that men only associate women's voices with singing, but I guess I'm exempt from that. I'm fine with male vocals, heck, even Junior is fine.

As was Junior before Melodyne came along.

If they made real Hardcore tunes with hard kicks then I will be back. But they don't because hard kicks are 'dated' apparently (basslines arn't dated then?) so I don't bother with much of the new stuff except Mix 3 on Crush on Hardcore which was all Freeform with hard kicks (and didn't sound dated whatsover, unlike the first mix)
I listen to Old Skool these days because I get more of a feel from the music.

Obviously now i know different but at the time it was released I thought that was a woman :/. I thought Ant Johnson was the guy doing the rapping and the "female" vocalist was uncreditied.

Well yesturday I was listening to some classic breakbeat tunes. The original Happy Hardcore and it was amazing. You get a real feel for the music out of those tunes. The thing is those tunes where Happy Hardcore. The harder stuff was Hardcore. These days Hardcore has no ties to the original stuff. It seems pointless to take a style of music, change things a bit, water it down and still call it Hardcore. Those tunes where Hardcore then and still are now. The music might have evolved but it feels un natural for it to sound like it does now. (Or at least the stuff on Clubland)
