what the **** is hardstyle??

[Andy__C]

Ello all....hows it going.......cool thread....

this is a collectin of stuff from a dutch forum when I was tryin to find out where hardstyle came from ages ago......not massivley relevant, but still
'in order to define something u must understand where it came from' morpheus type bullshit

Hardstyle was born on the Q-Dance party's in The Netherlands
The organisation Q-Dance is responsible for the big inpact in the hardhouse scene.

The "Qlimax" concept was first introduced in june 2000. First it was all a little strange, but Q-Dance wanted to forward this "new concept of music" and they organized several party's like Qlimax, Qlubtempo and later X-Qlusive. The Qlubtempo tickets were sold out 3 weeks before the party and was a big succes.

The "Qlimax-sound" became populair in a high-speed tempo, and is getting more hardstyle-lovers every day. Its getting Xtremely populair outside Europe. Switzerland, Austria even Canada is infected with the Hardstyle-virus.

Hardstyle started of as a mix of oldstyle and UK sounds. Slowly productions from Germany and Italy, which had a stronger bassline and a harder kick, started to reach the Dutch dancefloors.

I think there are 3 main players in the hardstyle sound...
Germany - Derb, Uberdruck etc.
Italy Technoboy, DJ Vortex, Trance Generators etc.
Holland - Luna, Isaac, Dana etc.
