Pavo & Zany - S.E.X.: This is the worst track ive heard in a while, yet some people are raving about it. :eh: :protest:

Yeh m8 that tune is awful :nono:

It all really depends on how the scene is in Europe, and Holland specifically I guess. Producers aren't going to change anything if it's working for them still, and we're not exactly a big market in comparison.

I still do think that there is something big around the corner, but i've been saying that for a while now. There is definitely room for a further expansion of genre on top of hard trance and hardstyle as both have really seemed to plateau now - neither are really progressing further than their stereotypical sound bar a few tracks here and there.

I'm quite bored of those sounds, but not ready to move on quite yet. Is it just me or do a lot of people feel pretty much the same? I went on German Trance earlier with a bit of cash to spend, and after listening to probably 50 records or so, there were one or two that I put in my box to buy :neutral:

theres been some good points made and i feel that some hardstyle is a load of s**t, that is y i tend to buy wot i like, even if it means missing a weeks new releases.

it is however making it hard for upcoming DJ's to develop a good style of their own because the only good tunes are those of which are being produce by big names such as Dana, Technoboy, The Prophet etc. which means if DJ's want to play good tunes, they will all be playing big names on vinyl.

Its like in the hard dance scene, you dont get anywhere mixing Tidy with Nukleuz, adding Y2K and Stimulant. I know none of that probably didnt make sense but thats how i feel, maybe we as a community of the hardstyle genre can put points across to those leading the way and try and push hardstyle the right way

Until hardstyle becomes what it needs to be, stop making s**t!!! lol

Ye I feel the same dude!

Dark/evil hard trance & hardstyle is the music that makes me buzz, if you know what I mean. And as of lately, Ive just been thinking "what am i gona play if the genres I love die out?" And I know, I cant be on my own thinking that....so im hoping something is gonna happen to fill the 'gap'.

Voorheez, you mentioned the scene in europe....what I can gather from other forums is that they seem to be happy with the way hardstyle is. I think jumpstyle has took over quite a lot out there too! :shock: :cry:
