We already had something that was mid-2000's UK Hardcore watered down sound. it was called Handsup
Handsup at least sounded UK Hardcore. I dont know what this video showcases in comparison. Trance with slightly more UK Hardcore elements?

In the mid to late 2000s, we had S3RL & CLSM (and others I can't remember) making what they were calling "Hardscape". Which was a push for the 160 bpm. But it didn't last.
HandsUp was a German thing. Pretty much Hard Trance with UK Hardcore inspiration. I never got into it being it's own thing; it's just cheesy hard trance.

I knew Kevin Energy and CLSM/Jon Doe were on the hardscape bandwagon, but s3rl? pretty sure he just did his own thing(s)

I want to say when he released this track, he was advertising it joining the 160 bandwagon at that time CLSM was pushing the "hardscape" term. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-fveK79ww8
