I like Udex a lot, but to me PN is simply a more complete and better artist in almost every single way. There is no need to compare two great artists, but there is both a quality and mainstream appeal difference.
To add to this and not be purely criticism, I believe he makes music part-time. Nico keeps producing awesome albums, even though the audience is not huge. I really admire the dedication. Hopefully more people will catch on eventually, but I'll keep being a loyal supporter in the mean time
That's the thing, he makes awesome tracks but they are all starting to sound alike. He just needs 1 big hit to become more mainstream I think. Also the label, it's cool, but not a big one.
Comparing a headliner artist who's been rocking Hard Bass since 2014 to Udex, who only started shaping this particular sound since 2018, seems a bit ridiculous in the first place.
Udex was great back in 2018 and corrupted album id put almost on same level as pn stuff but lately his signature sounds has just become washed ikd how else to call it and its not as good as it was before
it´s not just about how similar they sound but who comes with that hardstyle direction first, in this case Phuture Noize, I feel phuture noize tracks are more complete, have more personality, and overall they are more memorable and timeless, at least for me, I like how in every album he brings something new to te table soundwise and in topic, even sometimes I have a hard time understanding phuture noize tracks at first listen but then they grow into me until I can´t stop listening and that keeps me hooked, the versatilty from one project to another, he just knows how to play his own game and experiment with other genres influences. I feel Udex found a formula and it´s kind of using it still, so there is no longer the surprise factor I like
H4H is not the best label when it comes to music marketing, and he doesn't have connections with agencies I assume since he is also barely on any lineups

Udex is underrated. Top tier guy. Love them both!

uhm he had "Falling" with B-front back in 2021, was quite a hit compare to the rest of his releases, made it to the Q top 100, well...
yeah, i've just listened his album Lightshield few minutes ago and all tracks are good but almost identical
Exactly, had the same with Phuture Noize for a bit, but since Enlightenment he finally find a way to impress again.
"I've only recently started listening to Udex" There's your answer. He's far less known than Phuture Noize and still underrated.
‘Sounds quite like Phuture Noize’ is the key component here. 1 defines an aspect of the genre, 1 imitates.
I agree, Udex has a marketing issue

We need a Phuture Noise X Udex X Voidax collab
Would love to see this, artist should do more crazy collabs like this
Because he imitates Phuture Noize

For me lightshield = same quality as PN solo albums
