last week was my 1st hardstyle night

and i was really really impressed with the warm up DJ, but then M-Zone came one....

i found M-Zones set to be technically unfaultable, but just a little baoring to listen to due to it consisting of *exactly* the same bassline through out and not having anything going on in the higher frequences.

Mark EG was due to play but couldnt due to his recent injery (i was gutted :cry: ) so M-Zone played the rest of the whole of the night

over all, i can say i've given hardstyle a chance and wasnt taken by it, but would be curious to hear if there are more interesting/diverse hardstyle DJs out there than just a filthy kick drum that was M-Zones set

Hardstyle all pretty much revolves around different variations of the same bassline, there are some variations, but again they are bass driven.

Mark EG allways Plays a nice mixture of techno/Hardtrance & Hardstyle

M-zone can be like that, But sometimes he plays the best set ever sometimes hes just lazy

Then there loads of good Mixes on the Tunez part of this Forum, DJ Snorts is good

not the best comment considering i'm a techno head :P

belive me when i say that a *good* techno set can be diverse and interesting as anyother genres. just like unimaginitive hardstyle DJs, if a techno DJ is unimaginitive then his music will just be a series of drum loops and percussion. but good creative techno will have many different sounds, 'moods' styles etc.

ah right. i'm with you now. i do agree with you there, but i think its as much to do with 'educating' (for want a better word) yourself to spot the changes.

for example all hardtrance to me sounds like bosh-bosh-bosh-bosh build-up bosh-bosh-bosh-bosh. but thats not to say that all hardtrance sounds the same, i just dont listen to enough of the stuff to know one track from another. just like if you dont listen to techno much you wont be as used to spotting the differences in techno.

i think i sed the second half is the better half? you cant decide upon a set listening to the first to tracks m8. i thought u sed u dont like tunes with just a kick & bass line, i thought i achived that with out dropping to cheesy tunes. eg 9pm till i come etc.

LIsten to the Second half m8 :!: :!: :!:

i did the first half lighter - the second half hevier to show some sort of progresson like

yeah thats what I though :doh:

Suppose someone who doesnt really listen to Hardstyle would maybe think that the start was a bit cheesy..... I wouldnt personally say Tamok - Resistence is Futile, Brainkicker - Sweet Bass or The Pitcher - Start Rocking were cheesy tunes (the first 3 tunes) but I would imagine that most demos start of a little softer and work up to the more banging hardstyle towards the end.

Cheers for the comments about the mixing though :clap: :clap: :cool:

at the end of the day its about how you work the decks. 99% of the time there will be people (like me on this occation) that dont like the records, and people that love them.

keep up the good work mate
