I really have said this before in quite a few posts, but the reason that I HAD to go all out and get involved in this is because when they phoned me and I gave them the least amount of details they started to mention 'hardcore' and Hixxy and Sy in the same breath as hardstyle! I had no choice. It was either sit back and have the truth distorted or get involved and present Mixmag with the facts. I simply want the music I play to be represented properly. And the press is so powerful that I wasn't about to sit back and let things be distorted...
Fact is, I've had so little control over this article because they interviewed quite a few people, that it's all gone a bit titties up on the musical side from my point of view. Usually I have such control when I'm interviewed, so I think that perhaps I made a mistake my not laying down my requirements before I even spoke to the guy from Mixmag. Oh well, you live and learn...
But on the +ve, a very, very cool point that someone mentioned above is that hardstyle has not had the focus here. Therefore it's like we've said our piece and then disappeared back into the underground. Quite cool really if that actually does happen. Who knows what'll happen now...
