Clouds - Hard 2 The Power of Core [HS006]

01. Doom Tune
02. Braincellz
03. System 4 (Hard 2 The Power of Core)
04. Spider Opal

After a short hiatus, Headstrong is back with Hard 2 The Power of Core from Clouds. True to form, the pairing of Liam Robertson & Calum Macleod drop four devastating, hyper-produced tracks. From the chamber-psytrance of lead track Doom Tune serving as a sidestep to the classic Clouds sound, to the hard hitting and rave infected Braincellz & System 4 (Hard To The Power of Core). Each track packs a punch with their modern take on the UK hardcore sound.

Trailblazers Clouds & Tommy Holohan announce new ‘Hard Target’ moniker, label and debut release EP ‘Echoes’. Arriving on 27th October the project takes influence from early breakbeat-hardcore and 2000’s trance. Paying homage to their musical roots across the 4 tracks, ‘Echoes’ sees them continue their individual perseverance of pushing the boundaries of quality electronic music, now together as the Hard Target trio

Title track ‘Echoes’ is a pure trance anthem. It unapologetically embraces the euphoric and hook-heavy sounds of classic trance, transporting listeners back to the heydays of Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, and Dave Pearce's iconic sets. ‘Idol Sound’ is a dark & moody techno track with early 2000’s tech-step and neuro drum & bass influences. A super groovy hardcore production ‘Roadblock (Rush Me)’ infuses distorted vocal hooks from early '90s London pirate radio adverts; a relentless journey through the vibrant history of hardcore rave culture. Sampling an old hardcore track, ‘Pluto (On a Trip II) progressively transforms into a techno masterpiece featuring everything from exhilarating breakdowns, a groovy core and a touch of analog warmth.

Needing few introductions in their solo projects, Tommy + Liam & Calum as Clouds retrospectively, are known for being visionaries through their innovative & expert approach in DJing, production & everything in between.

Each perversing & pioneering the direction of the hard hitting electronic music, they first crossed paths at Dublin’s Hangar in October 2015 when Tommy was a 17 year old resident DJ for Techno & Cans and Clouds were kicking up a storm with their productions & sets. Their relationship burgeoned as the three shared inspirations from legends such as Mauro Picotto, Tiesto and each had a keen eye for the distinguished Sensation parties taking place in Amsterdam. This initially sparked ideas of collaboration, starting with impromptu B2B’s at esteemed venues such as Sub Club & La Cheetah in Glasgow. In turn, this led to them producing edits together and as their musical chemistry prospered, culminating in their fixated collaborative odyssey.

The result is ‘Hard Target’ a vitalising & forward thinking project that simultaneously celebrates their deep-rooted love for the early 2000’s music scene & their certified contemporary approach to production.

As the electronic music landscape continues to evolve, Hard Target exemplifies how music can be innovated by drawing from cherished influences while pushing the confinements of nostalgia.

"The heavy weight of social standards."

Heavy perc and atmos themed track that creates an oppressive feeling through continuity and saturation. 
Tried to use less elements in this one.
