Would like to know that as well. At least there's been a new release on Terrordrang recently

[freddy g]

is dominator being broadcast at all?

Made my annual hardcore mix for anyone interested

it took me way too long (22 years) to understand that "Dione's" alias "E-Noid" is Dione spelled backwards

Hardcore sub is dying here

Anyone else satisfied with the genre in 2023?
Nowadays, I come to enjoy it much more again. I freakin' love the "downtempo" stuff that mainly, thanks to Dogfight, got more popular again. I also the love the rather fast-paced Industrial from Prototypes, the comeback of Enzyme and a lot of the new early Hardcore. Nosferatu's new label even got my hopes up for some proper mainstream again.
Caught myself enjoying a few Uptempo tunes. Mostly those alternating with early-styled kicks and heavy sub bass, though I'll never really become a friend of high-pitched kicks.
Could be just a hunch but I think there has been less Industrial on the crossbreed side this year, which has been my favorite past few years

Embrionyc, Tripped, The Silence albums and Downtempo releases caught my interest mostly this year + some nice early and millenium hardcore throwback tracks but I'm not focusing on hardcore that much rn

Basically the same opinion as Jellyfish.
Uptempo has made it so much harder finding tracks that fit my taste that I very rarely even preview anything outside of known names. Life's too short to waste it listening to the auditory equivalence of baby shit.
