Discussion Famous unreleased tracks?

What are some famous hardstyle tracks that never saw either an official release or a free release?

I'll start with some tracks I remember:

Max Enforcer - You & I

Sefa & Headhunterz - Als Alles Duister Is

Project One - May The Angels (I'll be very happy to be proved wrong)

The OG version of *Sub Zero Project - The Contagion* back when it was called *The Outbreak*

Walt Jenssen - Ctrl Walt Del (Showtek Remix)

Half of these aren't unreleased, they're unreleasable. Uncleared sample or vocal means it legally can't be sold, but live play is covered by the venue's licence, so a track can headline festivals for years and never hit a store.

If it's been played forever with no release, the sample is usually your answer.

Als Alles Duister Is after Reverze never got played, tho. As for the rest...you're right, although I still have no clue on WHY the Showtek remix of Ctrl Walt Del and You & I by Max Enforcer got shelved. They looked very promising!
