When I watch there videos, it reminds me a lot of what the Hardcore scene was like in the UK in the mid 90s. Of course the Dutch crowds are way larger. But there was definitely a similar atmosphere in the UK back then.

D Fence played a really good set too. Proper entertaining fast Dutch hardcore.

I'd love to see the Dutch & German scenes back in the days of the Happy Rave/Happy Hardcore albums.

Just flicking through, there is way too much of that horrid ear-piercing noisy kick for my liking.

Same - it sounds like shrill air. There's no drum beat under it.

Pretty sure you guys are talking about the peep kick. People either love it or hate it. It is very common in Dutch scene now.

I find it hard to actually find tunes I do like nowadays.

You may have heard this already. It's ok, not sure if another/new Love you more version was really necessary and bit questionable with some of the Scooter & Joost lyrics. The first line at the start of track from HP, would have liked track more without that line and some of the Joost lyrics.

At least the kicks are decent is this - 'normal' happy hardcore kicks.
