I just wish that the labels would force more quality control so that this could be avoided.
I won't name any of the tunes that I thought were really bad as examples, as I don't really want to offend anybody on here that might have bought them and liked them. What do you guys think though? Agree or disagree?
i know what you mean about killing a genre quickly by poor productions, and tunes that sound very similur, this reminds me of hard house, but i dont think hardstyle will go this way too soon. but with hearing that nukleuz are starting a new label and the amount of new hardstyle tunes that are coming out at the moment, i dont know how much longer it can survive? it is also true i think that they are easyier to produce so this maybe part of the problem.
i think labels should select what productions come out more carfully. but saying that, ppl have different tastes, and someone who finds a tune total bollox, another might find quality...
