What no other course covers

17 kick lessons. Nothing else comes close.

Most courses show one or two kicks. This goes deep into every major kick style in the hardcore spectrum — one lesson at a time. Every kick is built from scratch, not from presets, so you understand exactly why each one sounds the way it does.

Bouncy / Uptempo

  • Peepkicks
  • Bouncy Uptempo
  • Bounce Uptempo
  • Millennium Kicks

Aggressive / Hardcore

  • Gabber Kicks
  • Zaagkicks
  • Microwave / Krach
  • Frenchcore

Advanced / Technical

  • Major Conspiracy Style
  • Kickrolls
  • Serum2 Kicks
  • Stock Plugins Only

No other course has dedicated lessons for Zaagkicks, Microwave, Krach, Major Conspiracy style and Peepkicks. If you want to sound like you belong in the scene, this is where it starts.

Does this sound familiar?

You are not stuck because you lack talent. You are stuck because no one showed you the full picture.

The tutorials gave you isolated techniques with no structure. The courses gave you information without a workflow. You have been working hard in the wrong direction — and that is not your fault.

Tracks you never finish

You start projects full of energy but they stall before they are done. You know how to begin but finishing feels out of reach.

Finishing tracks is a skill, not a personality trait. With the right structure it becomes something you repeat every time.

Hours of tutorials, no real progress

You have watched more tutorials than you can count, but the advice contradicts itself and your tracks still do not sound right.

Tutorials teach isolated techniques. This program teaches you how to use them together so every decision makes sense.

Courses that left you more confused

You have spent money on courses before. They showed you things, but without a clear workflow you could not turn it into finished music.

Knowledge alone is not enough. A step-by-step system connects what you learn to what you actually create.

Your studio, mid-session

Comparing yourself to producers you admire

You hear tracks by Angerfist, Dimitri K and others and wonder how they get that sound. Then the gap feels impossible.

That gap is not about talent — it is technique, experience and guidance. All three are things you can learn.

Producing for years with nothing to show

You have made music for a long time but never sent a track to anyone. Deep down you wonder if you will ever get there.

You will get there. What you have been missing is a clear path, honest feedback and a community that moves you forward.

What changes once you follow the system

  • Balance your kick, bass and screech at every stage of the mix
  • Understand what makes a kick hit hard — and build it from scratch
  • A clear process from an empty project to a finished, mastered track
  • Design your own sounds in Serum 2 instead of relying on presets
  • Follow one structured program instead of hundreds of tutorials
  • Know exactly what your mix bus should look like before a label sees it

Frequently asked

Before you start.

Who is this program for?

Anyone who wants to make Uptempo, Hardcore, Frenchcore or any harder BPM style. It works whether you are a complete beginner or a producer who has been at it for a while and wants to finally move forward.

Do I need any experience to start?

No experience needed. The Foundation module starts from the very beginning and walks you through FL Studio at a pace you can follow.

Do I need to buy a lot of plugins?

Most lessons use FL Studio's built-in tools, so you can start without spending anything extra. Serum 2 is used in some lessons but is not required. The program also includes 112 Serum 2 kick presets with a full kick course so you can get started right away.

What software do I need?

The program is taught in FL Studio. The principles and techniques apply to any other DAW as well.

How long does it take to finish?

It depends on how much time you put in. Some people finish in a week, others take a few months. The content is designed to be worked through step by step, not rushed.

What kind of support do I get?

The private Discord community and weekly track feedback are included for 12 months.

Will more content be added later?

Yes. The program is updated regularly with new lessons, kick breakdowns and techniques. The course and its updates stay yours for life. Community, weekly feedback and Forge are included for 12 months.

What happens to the Forge plugins?

The plugins work while Forge is active. After the included year, Forge is €29.99 per month if you want to keep it. If Forge ends, the plugin licences stop.

Optional add-ons

Extra packs stay below the program.

The 112 Serum 2 kick presets are already included. These are optional extras only.

Extra FL Studio project

Bounce Uptempo Full FL Project + Master Project

An extra finished project to reverse-engineer after you work through the program.

Extra sound bundle

Five Preset Packs — Bundle

A larger sound library for producers who want more material after they start.

Your kicks are one program away

Stop guessing.
