Resurgence of Quality Hardcore - 2 the Michelson sisters and Ybrid

...Part 2 in the series.
The first record that caught my attention in the late 2010s, was the following release by No Name.

Of course, every hardcore fan, knows artists like Mouse and No Name, the "Michelson sisters" as being a duo that created some of the most experimental and hardest hardcore "ever made on an amiga".
Althouh I should specify that by "hardcore fan" in this context, I mean those for whom "hardcore" includes the underground stuff, those who look beyond MOH, Thunderdome, DHT-type of party-oriented core.

It's nice to see an old artist release new things, especially if the new work still manages to incite your enthusiasm.

Interesting about this release is also that it is, according to the notes-section of the Discogs-page of this release a
"1 hour live set into a double LP."
Furthermore
"For the deejay to rebuild the live set, part 2 is on the C side, so you can mix the end of part 1 with the start of part 2 but that's not all: There is, at the start and at the end of each side, a little part of the side before so the music can be chained and understood as a live set."

It's clearly not a usual album as in a collection of separated tracks, but meant to be one long track as a whole.
And what we get here is some experimental hardcore, at a tempo slightly slower than most speedcore-ish work, allowing more experimenting with the ambient to accompany the beats.

Another interesting piece, showing the resurgence of what I consider to be interesting hardcore, was also an album, by another woman, from France as well: Ybrid.
Ybrid is also someone who released quite some interesting and unique hardcore releases in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
In the mid 2010s, there was little released work of her, in 2018 she returned with some releases who started where her songs released around 2010 left off. The album "Animal" and the "Mogwaï" ep.

This time, her work shows a little less emphasis on the opera-singing, and more delving into themes of nature and shamanism to accompany the electronic beats.
Gone is the exclusive adherence to strictly hardcore-style bassdrums and we hear on some tracks kicks that are more akin to techno or minimal kicks, shorter, so the ambient atmosphere takes prominence even further.
Downpitched violins give us a medieval feeling, and we even hear a didgeridoo on some tracks.

The EP Mogwaï consisted of 3 tracks earlier released on digital format in 2012 on the album "Alkaest", with the addition of hitherto unreleased track named "Eops". The new track bringing us some dreamy, somewhat darker, medieval-esque ambient.
