Anybody knows what's up with Traxtorm Records? No single release this year so far, last FB post back from November 2019... what happened with Traxtorm artists like Tommyknocker, Amnesys or Alien T?

They got older and Mainstream Hardcore is dead because of Rawstyle I guess.

What I know, Amnesys and Alien T left Traxtorm couple of years ago.

Not sure what's going on there, pretty much dead from what some artists say.
Add the current situation in Italy and it's pretty wild...

Similar problem with other big labels as well.
Too many producers with no quality control, so it leads to quantity over quality.

i just read on reddit, that act of rage is kind of a sidekick or produced by tha playah. is this stuff true? as the ep "confronting reality" was actually "hardcorish", also the vocals, but not that great like "Santa Is Coming For Your Corpse" which is actually a killer track. do you have any more infos about that?

the album tracks of "outrageous" and "sobatage" include to many fillers to make me belive, that it was all tha playah's work.

at least it would explain the production differences for me, maybe someone can point out the tracks actually produced or co-produced by him

The only track that officially mentions Tha Playah in the credits is "Blazing"
Act of Rage has quite many tracks registered at Buma/Stemra under his producer name (not just his real name), which hints to being ghosted. Same as Korsakoff or Sub Sonik

Although I'm getting more disappointed in how the moh top 100 look like with every new year, I'll vote as soon as they've added the missing tracks

Less Miss K8 releases, so I'm awaiting a Tha Playah, Angerfist and Deadly Guns radio show and doubt there'll be more than 20 different artists in the top 100 again.

my votes will go out to:
Dolphin - Ebbs
Adamant Scream - This Breaks My Fucking Heart
Re-Style ft. Cammie Robinson - One Last Dance
Embrionyc & Cubic Nomad - Sensation Of The Mind (if it's not too much Hardtechno for them to consider it)
The Relic - Echoes Of The Past

[Xurreal]

We round up the year by celebrating the best Underground Hardcore tracks of 2020, voted for by YOU!

We are also joined by some friends, including one of the godfathers of Hardcore Techno, LENNY DEE!
Get ready for a f*cking history lesson from one of the founding fathers of hardcore.

INVITE YOUR FRIENDS! MORE INFO SOON!

I hope Peacock fans will check his set out and will be surprised to hear such selection!

Edit: goddammit, it's just awesome to see him going hard for all these IHC tracks
