Back once again with another injection of fresh talent, Hardcore Energy returns with Introducing Vol.6 – a 13-track showcase of producers contorting the underground sound into new and unruly shapes. This series has always been about spotlighting the next wave, and Vol.6 is no exception: a raw, diverse journey across jungle, hardcore, techno and everything in between. KRYM’s ‘Complicated’ kicks things off; a wobbly 4x4 slammer that toes the line between jungle techno and booty bass – full of weight and impossible to ignore. Later, Shirley Temper’s ‘Pulse’ tears through with stab-heavy ferocity, rumbling kicks shaking the floor beneath sharp, percussive edges. And for those who like it deeper, Subject Zero’s ‘TWEETA’ delivers a thundering acid techno weapon. Across the rest of the record, tracks from the likes of Borai, dontforgettogohome, Infekto, Crate Classics, Arkyn, Dom Dolby, Neeketone, 2Peng, Guzi, Serkus and OPR8 keep the energy, each adding its own flavour to a compilation designed to move bodies and test rigs.
