Hardstyle explotion

just wondering what everyones thoughts were about hardstyle growing so fast. It came to me today when i was in HMV listening to Clive King & Scott Martin's 'Total Confusion', the first nukleuz black release (incase any of you didnt know). This track is pretty f*cking banging, the rmx anyway, and i probably would have bought it if i had enough cash.
Anyway, whats going to happen next? Hardstyle complication cds advertised on tv?Pete tong playing hardstyle on radio 1?
Im not saying its down to nukleuz, im just saying, what is going to happen to this genre? i think it may be the replacement for hardhouse in the uk??

I have to agree, I think the UK producers have discovered that hardstyle is what they believe to be the new hard house. Therefore nukleus have jumped aboard and started producing some for all those cheesey hard house djs to play..

I do kinda like that track - but it still sounds like a nukleuz ! ? if you know what i mean ?!

i think the streched vocal ruins it, but still a nice track..

I personally think hardstyle is too hard the hard house ppl

i dunno mate, i think hard house is quite hard, compared to some hard trance anyway..

nukleuz have got on board a top italian hardstyle dj aboard for the 2nd release drill sargent which is a wicked track no mistake comes with an organ donors remix 2.

i think there is a difference between what the dutch, italians,germans and now the british call hardstyle.

cant imagine lisa lashes and andy farley bashing out brain ovulation to the slinky massive, but i could see them playing some of clive kings tracks.
hardstyle like all other genes come in a wide range of formats

the name hardstyle means f*#k all really :wink:

It's good that Organ Donors are actually remixing this one, as it seems less like just repackaging then, which is what I hate about Nuk & Tidy. Also Drill Sargeant needs something more done to it to make it a good track.

I dont think its good for all those who like hardstyle, if Nuk and Tidy punt out all these hardstyle, whats to say it wont get raped by the Judge.

Would that bring you Lasgo's latest release = a hardstyle disgrace tune with womans vocals?

It's never gonna be the same stuff I like that gets commercial though, these two nukleuz releases are definitley on the more cheesy, fun and gimmicky end of the hardstyle market, and that's all that would ever be commercial in Britain. That doesn't bother me at all, neither would Judge Jules banging out hardstyle. I used to like the Judge a few years back, and I don't think he deserves this Dave Pearce style of segregation he's given. Judge is popular, but I don't think that was his sole aim when he started dj'ing, and i'm not gonna hate someone just because they're popular.

yeah its like if someone gets popular they "become commercial", then everyone dis's them for being crap ! why ? there would be no underground with out commercial and no commercial without underground, chicken and egg no ?

good point voorheez, ive never actually looked at it this way.
I suppose its like trance, you get commercial and underground, and that has never effected the underground trance i like.
I just cant see there being a commercial side to hardstyle at the moment..

oh shit yeah - that slinky report!!!

let me find it and post it up..

2ndly - this is a good topic. i've always had the occasional bookings at hard house clubs but with the advent of hardstyle, i've been getting a bettter reaction recently at hard house clubs than i used to get with a full set of melodic german trance. hardstyle is definitely something that is more acceptable to hard house ppl.

i don't think hardstyle will ever take over hard house. but i do think it's starting to be played more at hard house events and it's becoming accepted. just like techno is becoming a little bit more acceptable at hard house events but probably a little more so (as nukluez have demonstated with the new label - which BTW - after hearing no 2 about 3 weeks ago - is not the best hardstyle in my book). people like andy farley/lisa pinup command this scene and until these top hard house jock start to play full sets of hardstyle, it's no way going to take over from hard house.

we really shouldn't worry too much. sure it's getting used by a scene that we're all not too familiar with but we do our thing and they do theirs, eh??????

music is sound organised in a manner thats pleasing to the ear. everybodys ear is different. different folks different strokes. we all play dance music of different styles, whats ok for one aint ok for the other. the first time i heard atb's 9pm til i come, i was in a place called the country club, it blew me head off, a year later dave pearce was bashing it out and it was number one in the charts, it had been stripped and lighten up it was like a different tune, hardstyle doesnt really work for the mases its dark and dirty after all. a hardstyle sounds good when mixed in a set, but imagine hearing brain ovulation next to craig david on radio one! there will always b an underground, :wink: without it commercial music would die
