STOP BUYING NEW THE AGE HARD HOUSE !

[Hakka]

just expressing my feelings how dire this style is lately , thats what its here for isnt it , to discuss hardstyle ?

im discussuing it ?

it has gone down the pan , admit it , there are fewer and fewer peices of decent hardstyle being made lately !

why bother working hard at making a track when some are just to ****ing lazy and sample others or use the same samples that the style started off with ????

heard 1 track by some new dj bloke which has ripped a uberdruck bass ?

a blatent sample , and that cunt is earning money ?

bollox to it then , im gunna spend a few hours making 15 tracks of hardstyle

yippeee lets join the band wagon , im skint as **** trying to help make a new sound , i know ill rip ummm

mark eg beat , with ummmm vorny bass , ummm emotion complex tune and log ones percussion , cool , i got a track

ill call it , WEZENATOR - HARDSTYLE MOSH CUNT 2004

it will sell millions

I see what your saying, but its just not worth discussing something which hasn't happened yet and is so negative in my opinion. I admit, things aren't looking so great overall, but all I hear is moans and groans about hard style and that attitude only percipitates more moans and groans. Sure we can discuss negative things, but is there really any point?

Perhaps I'm wrong... of course discuss this as much as you feel... just I don't enjoy these sort of posts... probably cause they get me down.

:cry:

[Hakka]

Sorry man I've qouted you and I've not really read your post through before replying... silly cunt I am for that! - I will post what I'm getting at and I must admit, you make very accurate points Wez.

Doh @ me!

[Hakka]

Don't stop making good hardstyle because other labels are getting away with making shite. Music shouldn't be about making a tune as its currently the in genre and you want to make as many as you can fast so you catch the genre at its peak so you make money. Producing is about trying to cast your own image upon a genre you love so you can offer your own ideas and imagination in a track. I've got so much respect for producers that produce pure class with thought and feeling, and I can easily spot a track that is produced for the purposes of blagging... well... I feel that I can anyways.

[Hakka]

sorry, I'm writing a bit crap today... hopefully my posts will read easier later this evening!

time for a smoke!

[WEZ]

im not digging at anyone but label owners who seem to have lost the passion because of music because its so easy to make , but not so easy to be unique ,

hardware is cheap , vinyls are cheap

software you can get for free ,

that is a main player in teh game , cuz so many have free software , people are sampling and getting taken on left rioght and dcenter fuelling the fire of shit tues for big money

it sells ,

and the more you go OOoo listen to that bad boy , it would sound great in a club , think what your saying first ,

listen to the rest of the tune , has it simply been filled up with 1 already been done beat and any old shit chucked on for good measure ,

ear candy to labels , cuz it will sell !

pants

absoloute pants attitude to the music scene

im not even close to being in it yet , and just the taste of these apples makes me think why ****ing bother ,

or get a argos keybpard and make millions

its the POP IDOL of the underground scene thsi subject

Pete Waterman & Simon Cowell humiliate 1000's of young people with a passin only to take on 5 retards that last 5 minutes

undeground dance scene its happening to

1000's with a fresh sound and a passion for tunes not caring wther they earn money or not , getting shunted by cunts that are selliing cheesy wank same old stuff in stores now

the thing is hardstyle isnt that hard to produce so producers can easyly clone tracks and add there own vocals or little stabs and call it a new tracks in my opinion people should stop moaning about the lack of good hardstyle tracks and do something about it ,STOP BUYING THE GASH :dontevengothere: or make ur own hardstyle tunes if u think u can better ;) :clap: :love:

Bar the black releases on Nukluez its sounding pretty good still.

Ok a few years ago it was booming and had tons of good releases but every music genre goes through a bad patch doesn't it?

[Voorheez]

In all honesty it doesn't really bother me that the majority of hardstyle is crap because it's not what I play. It won't kill the genre entirely, merely do it some harm. I have a record box full of hardstyle tunes that have no hennes & cold bass, no screechy synth and no cheesy vocal.

The genre is already evolving into something else, the shit tunes are just the aftermath of fast popularity. Leave them to the suckers that still buy them and forget them. Don't waste your time on them, but don't also completely give up.

That's really made me think Wez. You're so right. It's an underground pop idol approach to music which quite frankly, isnt underground at all. i'm not going to give up on hardstyle because i still find hardstyle records that i like but all the time i'm thinking - have they sampled that bass? have they sampled that sound? And usually if the answer is yes, the release is shit. There ARE some good hardstyle records out there but its seeming more and more that hardstlye by numbers is the way to go and I don't like that at all about this music. Mind you hard trance is to a certain extent music by numbers and I've loved that for years. And so is acid techno. But to me the forumla's are alot less than those that hardstyle is using now.

Formulated cheesy, pop idol hardstyle I will not be buying.

There are some good tracks out there. But with hard trance, I dont remember having to search this hard through the shit. Mind you like I said in another post today, output of records and crap producers has increased in all genres.

This is my conclusion. Does this not prove we are all becoming robots? Victims of our own love of technology? Everyone now has a studio in the corner of their living room. Everyone's using the same programs, everyone elses 'samples'. Where's the true innovation in music? Because if we really do want to be honest about it, we've all been listening to the same record (ie dance music) for the last 20 years.

The growth of hardstyle was amazingly quick, not as quick as hard house (now THAT WAS simple to make/recreate!) but its that speed and greed of record labels that has screwed the fans of hardstyle over. Profit over quality.

I don't believe we are victims of our love of technology, technology after all brought us this sound. I feel that its the lack of vision of some labels and producers to evolution. I'm exactly the same in that I rip a hard style track to shreds upon hearing it, especially if I recognise elements and sounds from other hard style tunes in that release. It's just lazy and not thinking or trying to create good music...

Inovation has been lost and systematic approach to production has curiously taken over. I think this is because people can't beat the best of hardstyle that has already been made. You can either make it hard and harder until it becomes something else or silly, or make it more melodic until it becomes hard hard trance. Hard Style doesn't need to get harder, it needs to become more interesting. It needs to use completely new sets of sounds. NEW tricks and to have build ups and break downs completely re-written.

One track I really like for its production is Deep Pack - 100%
(http://germantrance.com/content/_rams/7006585B.ram for Geoff!) - it BUILDS lovely, and I think this is where hard style needs to go. Instead of being "banging" from the first time the beat comes in, it should build up and build up percussively over longer periods... and then hit you with a great break and hard kick & bass. I love the way this track has that crazy part where the synth roller coats in to snare and drums before brining in the harder kicks. Clever and interesting production...

I dunno... but that's what my feelings tell me....

[MARKEG]

no i'm sure it's all about producers who 'think' they are producers because they've got a cracked copy of fruity loops/reason. it really is. this is the problem and this is where crap hardstyle and most of the crap electronic music these days has sprung from.... we need a qulaity control and we're not going to get this from label owners so surely the responsibility lies with the producers?

intersted to hear everyone's thoughts...

[Jay M]

I cant remember it ever being so hard to find good quality tunage of the harder variety.Its either very poorly produced or a rehashed cheesey crap number that the label has threw out the door just to make a quick buck.Ok we all know labels have got to make some money but some of them were there at the forefront of the sound and now they are at the bottom of the barrel imo, but the ones at the bottom of the barrel are obviously selling more units of the cheesey stuff or they wouldnt be doing it.Too many ppl think about the quick buck and not the damage that they are doing to the scene.

I will just continue to do what ive always done and trawl through the shit to find the goodies.

[WEZ]

The reason i say that the labels to date taking on such cheese is i class them Dream Killers , why you ask

Pete Watermen & Simon Cowell make 100000's people who have worked hard on a life long passion que up for days , look there best , try there best only to sit there all smug and say " YOUR UGLY , CANT SING , GO AWAY !

There doing the same in the underground scene , i have seen and heard more talent on this board alone , than the 200 vinyls i sift through a week , but again they simply make the hdard workers feel after listening to such cheese , whats the point !

It really makes me sit here and think , instead of producing for wezentiger , **** it , im gunna start a label and trawl the internet for young / old 100% passion artists / dj's , take on theer material and show the others how it should be done ,

its simply to easy to get hold of , and if you fall into the stubborness of , well if he can make a track with that beat n bass , so can i , if he can sell it , so i can i !

Unique
Originality
Passion

Money last folks

no i'm sure it's all about producers who 'think' they are producers because they've got a cracked copy of fruity loops/reason. it really is. ...

I strongly disagree with you there mark. You taring everyone who use's software studio's with the same brush, and that isnt right. Some of the most original music ive heard this year has been produced soley on software studios, tracks from people like Omkara Techichi,(who uses reason), and stuff from Enticer, who uses Renoise. Its not about what you use, its about how you use it, and the reasons you are actually making a track. Saying "it's all about producers who 'think' they are producers because they've got a cracked copy of fruity loops/reason" really is the same as being racist, "All arabs are terroists and benefit grabbers", which obviosly isnt the case. Yes, there is a lot of people who use fruity or reason, and do produce crap for money, but this doesnt mean everyone does.

[MARKEG]

i'm not taring everyone with the same brush. i'm talking about people who 'think' they are producers because they've just got hold of a cracked copy of reason and think they can bang the tracks out with it when they really havent got the knowledge or the experience to understand the art of production.

sure there's great producers out there who rely solely on software, i'm not blaming the software, i'm blaming the way it's used by certain people.
