Never liked many of Darren Styles male vocal tracks. Always sound a bit gay because they have that boy band vibe..
Should go back to using girls like Lisa Abbott and Jenna.
Is plain for everyone to see Darren Styles is definitely watering his sound down to slower beats sell to the masses.
Especially with Monstercat releases.

Since that clubland stuff happened, he's always been the same. He has a huge female fan base who love him regardless. Me ? Since he split with Force, he made some good tracks like Skydiving and Taking me Higher, others will like more of his stuff, but those 2 for me only ones I like truely.
He definitely wants to be a part of the "pop" world tbh, crossing over into the mainstream. But then he does stay with his roots, he played a set with Force this weekend just gone, but their appeal isn't as big. They wrote some banging tunes, but live they weren't a big draw. (Not back in the day anyway)

Yeah, I love force & styles's productions, but I'll be the first to say their DJ sets were/are a bit samey. To their credit, they did play tunes from other labels, but not a great variety from what I've heard on tape packs! I guess in fairness they're booked as a classics act these days, so anthem bashing is expected. I've heard Force solo a couple of times at smaller events, he played more varied stuff there.

Fair enough we get older and tastes change. But his music over the last few years has been really poor. Hard to believe it's the same guy who made all those anthems over a 20 year period.

Just came across this below, new from DS & TNT
At first I liked the sound of the intro riff but unfortunately after the build up and kick roll, I was disappointed what I heard. If that intro riff was used after the build up and in main part of track that might have sounded better. At the very end, sounds like influence from the Atmozfears & Demi Kanon - Move ma body track.

This new one released on a big label. It's a good track, would sound even better at a faster tempo. I've a feeling we'll see a UKHC remix or two of this.
Darren styles latest track.
