E=nc² [The Science Of Hardstyle] Vinyl

When E=nc² [The Science Of Hardstyle] was released, it showed a different way of approaching a Hardstyle album. Now, 14 years later, the album returns in a format that fits that vision: on vinyl. 

Noisecontrollers had already built a reputation with a catalogue of standout releases, but this project made it clear there was more behind it. Instead of focusing on  individual tracks, E=nc² was designed as a complete body of work, where melodies, sound design and structure all come together. 

That approach runs throughout the album. Tracks like So High and Gimme Love represent the emotional side, while productions such as Pillars Of Creation highlight the level of detail in the sound. At the same time, tracks like I Just Wanna Know and Space show a willingness to experiment, bringing in influences that weren’t common in Hardstyle at the time. 

On vinyl, that balance becomes even more clear. Spread across two records, the album unfolds the way it was intended, from intro to outro. Flipping sides and playing it front to back brings back the focus on the full journey, rather than separate tracks. 

With this double vinyl edition, Scantraxx presents E=nc² in a format that connects directly to how the album was built. 

Please note: a separate E=nc² slipmat is available, but not included with the vinyl.
