2017 is already shaping up to be an incredible year for Darren Styles and happy hardcore!
I can’t lie, the amount of hardcore and happy hardcore that has been released from Monstercat is fantastic! This label is strongly promoting these amazing beats and I couldn’t be happier. Their latest release comes from none other than Darren Styles, one of the most notable happy hardcore producers in the game. “Us Against The World” is the first solo single Styles has released on Monstercat too!
In “Us Against The World” Styles incorporates emotional lyrics with that infectious and notable uptempo happy hardcore sound. I challenge you to listen to this track and not dance in time with the tempo and resist belting out, “It was us against the world!” This track coupled with his recent happy hardcore single with Gammer alongside the return of Zero Hero, his project with fellow hardcore DJ Stonebank, could signal 2017 as the year that Darren Styles helps lead Happy Hardcore to permeate the forefront of the electronic music scene.
