We made some videos at I Love Hard Beats, check them out on our Youtube channel. The Douglas remix of "See you on the other side" was first played here, for those who are curious.

Once again we had to keep the poll open for a few days because all tracks were very close in the vote. In the end the A.B remix came out on top, and will enter in our "Best of 2012" poll at the end of the year.
The first track for february is the epic "Artificial" by Transcend. The words "epic" and "synth" come to mind, but check it out for yourself.

Ever wonder what Japanese raves are like? On Youtube you can watch 30 minutes of Shimamura's "The Day of Hardcore 2011" set. It's awesome. As you can tell I'm a huge Shimamura fan, but if J-core or airhorns aren't your thing this video probably won't do much for you.

Hard Beats Collective Show week 27 - Little Fella & Hard Beats Collective Show week 29: DJ Darwin are now available with tracklisting.

'London Elektricity ft. AMWE - ロンドンは夜7時(TANUKI's GMT Remix)', 'Intra & Bradski ft. Nathalie - Damaged (Technikore Remix)' and 'Kevin Energy & A.B - Sin 4 Me (A.B's Trouse Remix)'.

Gammer doing what Gammer does best: making some of the best hardcore around.
