I might have done this before but I don't care. There aren't enough appreciation threads in the universe to express how much I miss Ham producing hardcore. I don't blame him for leaving to produce mediocre drum & bass. The plebs in this scene never appreciated his greatness and he probably wasn't exactly getting rich producing hardcore. But years after his last release and the pain is still raw.
Anyway, please come in and tell me your 3 most favourite Ham tracks from any era (very tough decision, I know).
Mine are "Every Single Day", "Making Love Forever 2008" and "Run To You", with at least 10 close runners up.

I carnt see that the majority of producers make a massive amount making hardcore so im betting he just lost the love for it.
Anyhow i still loved his stuff. My favs were:
Anything for you
come again
Every single day

His music was perfectly crafted for the dancefloor. His tracks tended to have a wonderful little reverb on the bassline that gave it that dancefloor feeling even when being listened to through headphones.

The man was a brilliant hardcore producer and he is definitely missed on my end!

That's very true but I don't think anyone can deny that he was criminally under-appreciated in the hardcore scene. He's in my all-time top 3 and deserved to be right up there with the likes of Styles and Gammer imo.
