Totally agree with this one. He was like a god back in the day and now this.

You got me! Well, considering that i taught myself english to a great extent - my english teacher didnt cared and we had free time for 4 years straight - I guess I do quite well, even though I have to correct myself all the time after creating posts -.-'

I've had a couple listens of 2 CDs. Here's my take:
Tracklisting:
1. Styles: Darren had the best track selection. I wanted to list some songs that I felt stood out the most, but I can't! I absolutely love every track on this mix! Darren knows exactly the mood you want to go in from the beginning till the end. Big ups to him!
2. Breeze: Don't get me wrong. I see where there is not hardcore, but I do see where there is hardcore on this mix. And to be honest I love every song on this mix as well. Bitch Slap is an amazing opener. I'm really looking forward to Future World releases!
3. Gammer: Meh, eh. I'm not a big fan of Knight In Shinning Armor. Production is great on the song, but I don't see the hype ;) As for the rest of the tracklisting is a pass for me. Mix Your Sex & Dibi Dibi Sound where the highlights for me...so I don't really like the tunes.
4. Hixxy: Got to the 2nd song which I owned unmixed. Don't like the songs or already own them. In fact I didn't even listen to this whole mix cause its shyte!
Mixing:
1. Gammer: His mixing is tight, amazing and spot on. This is skill and looks like acepella mixing is now in guys. Might want to go back and apologize to that one guy from a few months ago haha jk jk
2. Styles: Great track listing and the songs flow together perfectly. No complaints here.
3. Breeze: He's a great at mixing live and shows he still has it :)
4. Hixxy: Complete crap don't bother. Best listening to Bonkers 1-16

The Darren Styles Mix is good but the save me remix is awful. also I got the CD and for some reason the Hixxy mix sounded really bad and kept skipping so I was unable to listen the Gammer Mix is great loads of good tracks really well thought out mix. And the Breeze mix is mostly dubcore which I don't hate but I would of liked a mixture of everything in there.
Still well worth buying if only for the styles and Gammer Mix

Love the Hixxy/Gammer disk, Breeze disk is pretty solid too. Don't mind the Styles mix but it isn't my favourite from him, didn't set my world on fire. Overall a damn good album though.

But really it's just adding more variety in Hardcore music.
If you listened to UK Hardcore from the early 90's a lot of it was dark and breakbeaty. Infact Breezes mix is probably more like the traditional rave than any of the other discs.
IS ALL HARDCORE, JUST HAVE FUN, OPEN YOUR MINDS AND ENJOY IT FOR WHAT IT IS INSTEAD OF BEING SO SMALL MINDED.
LOL what this about a war:) I know Breezes music is not every ones cup of tea, but then again neither is freeform.
All I'm saying is if someone wants to do something different with Hardcore music, they shouldn't be heckled and dismissed because it's not to their liking. It might come as a surprise to some but a lot of people do like his sound. Didn't Petrucio and Modulate win best new producers in the Hardcore Heaven awards which is voted by the raving public, just like Hardcore Underground won best label which was well deserved also.
Hardcore scene is such a small scene already and should be united, not divided.
Don't put words in my mouth I didnt used! 
[quote]I know Breezes music is not every ones cup of tea, but then again neither is freeform.
Don't like to play this card but freeform sounds far more hardcore than dubcore now.
LOL FREEFORM NEVER SOUNDED LIKE REAL HARDCORE AND NEVER WILL, IS JUST TRANCE ON SPEED. HAS MORE INFLUENCE FROM GERMAN RAVE OF THE 90'S THAN HARDCORE. LACKS BASS OF HARDCORE IN A BIG WAY. MOST OF THE DUTCH HARDSTYLE DJS MUSIC SOUNDS MORE HARDCORE THAN ANY OF THE FREEFORM OUT, SO I CERTAINLY WILL USE THE FREEFORM CARD.
HARDCORE SHOULD BE RAW AND HARD AND THAT SIMPLY IS NOT WHAT FREEFORM IS.
HARDCORE ORIGINATED WITH ANALOGUE SOUNDS AND BREAKBEATS, BUT I GUESS YOU'VE NEVER LOOKED PAST 2005 WITH YOUR TASTES IN HARDCORE. DRUM AND BASS ELEMENTS HAVE BEEN PART OF HARDCORE LONG BEFORE FREEFORM EVEN EXISTED.
BREEZES TUNES ARE ACTUALLY MORE LIKE THE TRADITIONAL DARKER EDGED UK HARDCDORE OF THE EARLY 90S WEATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
SURE SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT, BUT FACTS ARE FACTS, IT'S TAKING INFLUENCES FROM THE VERY EARLY HARDCORE RAVE DAYS BUT ALSO ADDING NEW EXPERIMENTAL SOUNDS AS WELL.
SO PLEASE DON'T INSULT PEOPLES INTELLIGENCE WITH THESE LIES THAT FREEFORM SOUNDS LIKE REAL HARDCORE WHEN ALL IT IS, IS TRANCE ON SPEED.
LOOK AT LUNA C, HE USES ALOT OF DRUM N BASS IN PRODUCTIONS BUT HE STILL GETS CALLED A HARDCORE DJ FOR SOME REASON. WHY IS IT DIFFERENT FOR BREEZE?
Sorry about the rant, but I don't like being lectured and spun total bollocks by someone who's probably never even been to the UK and that had know idea what they were talking about.

Rofl. You've lost the plot. If we're talking about hard kicks, freeform has had it since the day Sharkey and the lads made it. Most of Shanty & Tazz' production in 2002-2005 is hard kicks, so it's not all fancy trancy speeded up, which UK Hardcore is more famous for.
And to be honest, German Trance was faster than "british hardcore" to begin with, so who copied who?

I'm just gonna come right out and say it: I liked CXH8 a lot more than CXH9. To me they actually do just get worse every year in a linear fashion.
Haters gonna hate.

I'm sorry but that is a terrible point. You should be ashamed.
