Oops, forgot to reply again in the thread.
The only thing I didnt like about him was the mc-ing in the tracks. Some melodys were ok but when some guys shouting nonsense it can be headache provoking. Yea, AATW and Clubland are effectively the same company. I think I recall it being "Clubland" branded for all the commercial CD's, TV channel etc. Then they had "AATW" as the record label that published full track vinyl for people that wanted the full tracks to mix with. Since the demise of vinyl though, AATW is more commercially mentioned. That company was 1 of the prime culprits in buying out the hardcore scene. Such as when "Ultrabeat" first came about they were signed to AATW, did dance versions of older hardcore tracks (pretty green eyes, paradise and dreams etc) which effectively took off in the charts and before you knew it, the big underground hardcore names were remixing tracks made by cascada (even that baywatch theme was planned to have a breeze and styles hardcore remix but they dropped the idea last minute).
Lol, that is just so true. You see the states of raves nowadays for example. People who have never made a track and are talentless dj's manage to get bookings, because they know the club owner whilst others who are hugely talented don't get given the time of day.
I guess your right with things having cycles. What's become apparent though is say 10 years ago. "Underground" music would of stuck to it's roots (So we had the electro/synth 80's, evolved into "old skool" in early 90's, then into "Happy Hardcore") but it just seems now since the big sellout of the scene that it focuses on what sound is in the charts and can make the most cash for the big players.
Yea people just seem to have that logic. They just think its there for free dload, they pay internet bill so they have rights to download it. Around £1 for a track is nothing and it is a better deal than vinyl days. I think a single 12 inch vinyl costs around £1 to press, but they were sold for usually £5.99 when released, so basically people were paying £5 just for the tracks and the rest for a piece of plastic.
Agree with that too. What makes me laugh is websites like MegaUpload and ThePirateBay. It took years for them to close MegaUpload.... But thats only 1 of maybe 100+ download websites. Then with ThePirateBay the law forced some ISP's to block access to the website, but theres countless mirror's people can use. Too little too late. The people who could of done something about it seem to be full of empty threats.

Thanks mate. Appreciated
It was Nexus. Default preset bank (I think it was "trance saw wide" lead). I do like sylenth (and "Massive") but don't tend to use them as much as I should. Thing with Nexus is you cant really tweak the preset sounds much as they are banks, but adding in eq and tweaking the few things you can tweak does help change the sound a bit. That specific riff had multiple notes playing on each note (pfft hard to explain as I would say "layering" but it's not layered).... But it would look like the following (per bar):

As for yours:
Not too familiar with that style of music. Sounds nice and clear level wise. The plucks are cool. Quite a short clip but that sounds like a nice attempt so far
