I am loving these releases, also some recent Zatox tracks have some similar elements which has been great.

Got Soundcloud? I feel the same, and I want to hear more hard trance, hardstyle and nu-style hardstyle.

My own unpopular opinion is that hardstyle is currently having a massive identity crisis. At each spectrum, we have raw or euphoric (euphoric being so soft, cheesy and everyday sounding that it doesn't make sense to call it HARDstyle). But overall, most new hardstyle tracks are just hard EDM. Same structure and production value as mainstream EDM tracks. No intro, no underground sound, no continuous heavy beat. Too much singing and too little "Umph".

Hardstyle was glorious while an underground club genre. Continuous mixes without those random breaks that make no sense, is what I believe made this genre unique.

This sooo much. I love that Sub zero project and Zatox started to implement more trancey style in their production recently. Go Thera and do it, full support :D
