Promoting Hardhouse alongside Techno??

[G-whizz]

It works!!!!!

Been doing that for the past 3 years...but mixing it up from hard house, old skool, acid techno, hard trance, hardstyle and into hardcore/trancecore into gabba and back to hardcore....people **** love it if you progress things right.

My ressie Ginge can do an awesome crossover set which takes people by suprise.

**** these barriers around music and people. Raves weren't and shouldn't be about that now.

My crowd love it.

I have to agree with ya there mate !
A few mates and me have started doing parties about a year ago and we have two rooms... main room playing anything banging ... like acidtechno techno ,acid trance ... all that sort of stuff and the second room where anything goes ... we have people playing hiphop, breaks , d&b , psytrance funky tekno etc
It s a formula that works well as long as you get it in the right order and lots of people seemed to enjoy having all the different styles to choose from and it keeps the night interesting ....... :D

That's been the ethos of my night for 3 years. For me one genre gets boring. I like a lot of different styles of music, I used to be blinkered and only like one style of muisc and hated everything else...judging the music even though I hadn't really heard/felt it. I've been clubbing for nearly ten years and been involved in alot of different scenes hardcore, psy-trance, goa, acid techno, hard house, drum n bass etc. So I just wanted to bring the best from each scene into one.

As for commercialism I think it necessary part of dance muisc. I have to agree with D.A.V.E. that through commercial nights it gives people access to the dance scene. Once there they will be introduced to new sounds. Like in hard house Glazby plays acid techno and introduces people to a new harder sound.

D.A.V.E. > I heard your Live PA a few months back in Leeds and it was spot on. Proper uplifting techno...reminded me of the old days when things were buzzin (Havok, Herbal Tea Party). Lost interest in acid techno cos things went to minimal/anal. I'll be intouch soon :mrgreen:

[Slacky]

For me I predominantly mix techno \ acid but if I get a book ing at a "hard dance" night that isn't going to appreciate 2 hours of pounding techno then I've got to find a way of banging it out but not going cheesy.

Some Hard House is wicked for this, I mean you have to dig for it, granted but yeah it does work. For me the formulas

Hard House -----> Techno = COOL
Techno ------> Hard House = COOL BUT TRICKY.
Hard House + Coupe Of Techno Tracks = COOL @ Hard Dance Parties
Techno + Couple Of Hard House Tracks = SUCKS
Techno + Trance = SUCKS

As for promoting along side each other - yeah it works, what I can't stand is flyers that say

HARD TRANCE, HARD HOUSE, TECHNO ALL NIGHT!!!!!

Translated means - we have a little bit of funky techno to warm up then 1 DJ will play RAW 9 / Hydraulix 9 / Subvert 2 at some point in the night.

[Tobe Cypher23]

Techno and hardstyle into hard trance works. Like warmdsucher etc

[UngratefulNinja]

I dunno, personally I've been mixing sets lately that have started with precussive London stuff and then blended it out into funkier tech like the stuff Bang-On puts out which then blends seamlessly into tougher Hard Trance (Bang-On 9 Ring Ma Bell into Nick Sentience's rmx of Komodo comes to mind, the transition from one to the other is so seamless its scary). From there it usually moves between techy hard trance/house and london tech into some seriously screaming 303's which then moves into freeform, hardcore and gabba for the climax. Also oddly there's some really banging full on psy trance that mixes REALLY well with some of the stuff that's been coming out of London's hard dance scene also.

I dunno, I've found you can mix and match whatever genres you want as long as you find the right records and can make it sound good. All this talk of trance NEVER mixing into techno (or whatever genres you want to mix together) is just nonsense if ask me, there's just to much crossover in general between genres to rule out the possibility of mixing across them.

as far as i'm concerned trance does not mix with techno on the same set in the context of 1 techno record, 1 trance record, 1 techno record, 1 trance record...

they are two totally different styles of music. if you're going to play them in 1 set, then you have to break the set into two.

but as for doing a night that is 1/2 techno 1/2 hhouse then fine - for me there's a reason behind this - it's going to get ppl into techno.

mind you, a better senario would be to have two rooms of equal size playing their own thing.

This is my first post one here so hi...!!

Any way I agree with mark but from the other prespective I play Hard Dance (On the v.hardside) with a lot of london techno thrown in. All summer I play on a free party sound system and play the same style and the amount of tme I get techno heads come up and ask WTF's this it sounds excellent really suprises me as if I told them it was hard house they'd probabaly run away (so I tell them hard NRG ;) lol) So from my point of view it's all good if people are dancing who gives a shit.

It's been going on in London for years.

[FuK-NuT]

el fuk-nut off diverse frequencies free party sound system (Scotland) ere, havent fully read this thread as was linked to it by that wee gimp Kenny M, Mark yer ma hero come do a set for us in da summer for fuk all u mad bastard...sweet wee lable u have on the go dread head respect!!!!
Mind the core ya loon, el studio 24...oh z memories!

anyhoo this thread ,all i got to say really is its ALL FUKIN TECHNO!
to me anyway as long as its full off nrg it gets my vote! just finished a mix off last night starting off on a drum and bass tip going into a 4x4 French tekno(hartek) stylee into some slower type hardcore around 180 bpms (dancable) works a treat, any one want a copy send me a pm? the last mix i done go here.... hardcore techno - http://interface.pirate-radio.org/~t...io/FUK-NUT.ram

hard nrg into acid techno works imo aslong as the dj is carefully in his tune selection....booty bing bong bosh aint gona work noo is it...!

trance into techno YUK....techno into techno ONLY!

all depends on where yer playing aswell i get the impression the english scene is far bigger and more open minded than the scottish scene with alot off styles etc not even getting a look in up here, main reason i do free parties as u can push alot off sounds out that would propably scare the shit out o your average scottish clubber....

anyhoo enough o me ranting, FOR TASTY TECHNICAL TECHNO MIXES CHECK THIS BOY OOT....www.sekonz.co.uk the other half off diverse frequencies, scratching, off beat mixing etc and he dont use a djm...the real deal baby! also some info on a couple o night were running, demos wanted!!!! geez a pm!

[Techno-warlord]

Surely no-one still actually plays hard house ........ do they ?

[The Divide]

I persoanlly like all the mixed music events. I realy realy wish the Helta skelta was still around. Its Raves like that, that get the young people out and get them into partying. even tho they normally direct the arenas toward on particular sound, some DJ would play anything that seems to get the croud going and in those circumstances I dont see anything wrong with mixing differant styles in DJ sets.

Then when you have grown up and found what you consider as you fav music youl go from there to a more propper club with more serious directed music.

If I was in a club, out to listern to techno I would hate to hear trance/hard house/hardstyle in the middle of it. Its not want i am wanting to hear and wouldnt sound right and alter the feel of the set too much.
loved it at Club North, gabber in the main room and then sometimes the occasional techno set. Back room was hard trance/ and all kinds of techno. I didnt like hard house sets there (only happened the odd time), I think it cleared the room. It was very mixed with styles and thats prolly why I went, along with the wicked atmosphere. If I was going to somewhere else however such as the Orbit, i am going for one reason, techno music all night, if a DJ played anything else it would piss me off becuase its not what the nights all about.

So you have to see both sides of this. One as someone whos wanting to hear dark/hard/funky/grinding techno and the other as more of a Raver type person. out to listern to all kinds of music.

Something like that.

[The Divide]

Believe it or not Trance/hardhouse sounds too formulated for me these days and need to move on IMO

Had to sneak that one in :P
