hardstyle(bye bye)

The truth is that if I labeled myself as a hard trance dj and still played the same stuff I play, people would enjoy it. It's all in the name.

if you did that mate i would think to myself ummmm he's got that wrong!!!

if you labeled yourself as a hardtrance dj and played hardstyle, anyone who knows anything would be able to differentiate between the two sounds, know what im saying?. personally im not a massive hardstyle fan. too much of it is forumlated, monotonous, and samey, and to be honest totally mind numbing. i wouldnt say all of it is bad there though - there are some good tracks out there but imo they are few and far between. compared to hardtrance, it doesnt to a lot for me! :cry:

Thats not the majority of clubbers tho, in my experience. Especially in underground clubs (again from what I have experienced), the crowd are generally less clued up and more just up for a pounding beat, regardless of its label. I certainly know a few people - even some on here - who have not fully grasped the term hardstyle, 'dutch hard trance' is what some kid called it. Now i reckon what Voorheez is getting at is that the majority of people are influenced by labels, and imo he is right.

im influenced by the sound that goes into my ears and through my body :)

Im sure you are mate, just think you, I and the folk of this board make up the minority of a population of people who are more influenced by names than sounds...

But in most sets I do play a bit of hard trance. I go by what the crowd wants and in the club where you would be, i'd play hard trance then move up into a bit of hardstyle to see how the crowd do with it, if not play more hard trance.

I would never ever get the booking if I labeled myself as hardstyle, and you probably wouldn't come see me, but if I label myself hard trance and play a bit of hardstyle, nobody is going to be concerned (as long as I do it well). This is the problem with labels!

cool man i get where your coming from now :)

hardstyle played alongside hardtrance can work really well ;)

Personally for me, hardtrance and hardstyle together is the only way to go imo.

For me really, i cant play a full set of Either so merge both...
