Here's a UK hardcore track!
I hadn't made any music in ages since I've gotten so busy with school, but I've finally found the time to finish another.
Quick facts, a majority of the synths in this track are made in simple, old 3xOsc.
Enjoy! And don't worry, I'll keep on drawing cute foxes :P

Ha, that sounds like a more interesting report than any I ever had to write. :P Hardstyle and hardcore can be related, but typically the bpm ranges don't overlap for the two. I've seen hardstyle go as low as 130-135 range, but typically stay between 140 and 155. If you wanted to compare similar sounds between the two genres compare the hard kick sound of hardstyle (not the reversed bass) with gabber and the tempo difference should really show.
Key matters a lot when mixing/DJing, but I imagine for producing the biggest concern is to make sure that you don't create any key clashes in the song itself. It's rare, but it happens. :) Good luck on the report!

DUDE YOU SAVED MY LIKE HOURS OF RESEARCH!!!
but yes ur right about the bpm of hardstyle *most of mine that i make are in the 150 range* one of the other things between the two is that most hardstyles tend to be more simplistic in the leads and bass, while hardcore is very melodic and chords and steps.
but thanks alot, this is for my music production class :D so my other paragraphs are dnb vs dubstep and trance vs techno. :D
i think i have this set!!

Wooo, glad to help! :) And while there's exceptions to everything the difference you pointed out is one that typically holds true. Then there's always the tracks that like to mix it up and cross genres--those are some great toys for us DJs that aren't content to stick to one style or genre during a mix, ha.
Hmm...tempo is definitely a defining point in dnb vs. dubstep as well (generally 70/140 for dubstep and 175 +/- a few for dnb), but the biggest difference would be (I think) how much the breakbeat influence shows through. It's pretty much a defining point for dnb, but dubstep (in my opinion) seems to have a much more regular or predictable beat/bass/whatever is the proper technical term for it. :P If you really want some fun you could talk about drumstep, though.
Trance vs. techno--well, the tempos can be the same, so I think there it's really a matter of the progression (?) of the track. Techno tends to be incredibly repetitive and loves to use the "horse-gallop" beat, usually introducing only very slight changes as the track goes on before peaking and settling back into the original groove. Trance tends to have a more solid beat and, while still repetitive, seems to be a bit more complex and interesting than techno (not to mention the massive breakdowns, ha). Both are nice, and the "hard" variants of each are some of my favorite genres to mix. 150-165 bpm techno with a heavy industrial influence? Yes please. :D

Ha, I wasn't even going to get into the tons and tons of subgenres for each of those. :P I honestly don't know how you could mix up UK hardcore with gabber--tempo is about the only thing they share, heh. What fits under "mainstream" hardcore? I don't think I have heard that used as a subgenre (unless it's referring to electrocore, which still seems to be pretty popular).
The only thing confusing is the same name, which back in the days of CD's DID catch me out once or twice haha... Mainstream is just a blanket term for hardcore with more focus on melodies as well as the really harsh fast kicks, I don't really agree with the title but that's what the internet tells me lol
I can barley, barley (I repeat, barley) notice the difference. I never heard the difference myself until after equalizing my headphones with this guide here. http://www.head-fi.org/t/413900/how.....nes-a-tutorial Now I can hear slight differences between 320kbps and lossless. Also if you look at that guide, ignore the ad's of the ridiculously retarded and expensive crap there and the people that are dumb enough to buy $1000 cables.
I've slowly been experimenting with UK Hardcore, it's not been an easy genre for me though sadly. <w> I love the bass you've got in this song though. 3xOsc is such a powerful tool, though I'm silly and can't seem to utilize it this well. I'm stuck with Nexus and Massive for now. x3 But anyways, I love the pluck synth in this piece. The melodies are just splendid as well. Excellent job on this song~! :DDD
