technoboy, headhunterz they both should be class, d-block and stefan have the anthem this year i think, just been watching the vids and it is unreal, shame showtek arent there, i was hoping to catch them.

seeing as you have been to amsterdam so much where is good to go out and stuff for the first nite. any pubs or clubs recommended in amsterdam.

Didnt really get to hit any decent pubs or clubs as we were only over there for the festivals.It's meant to be pretty hard to get into the good clubs over there.Will be hitting Leidesplein properly this time around though-this is where the young go,meant to be some pretty cool spots around there.

Not that happy with the lineup & the anthem isn't a patch on Technoboy's "Next Dimensional World".Pity The Prophet,Activator,Tatanka,Zatox & the likes aren't playing.

I didn't say choice of music, I said choice of DANCE music, big difference. I wouldn't expect you to know much about the genre anyway, atleast it's not commercial bull****e!

your both teenagers right?

No wrong, I'm 24 and yes perhaps in Ireland a lot of teenagers are into hardstyle but in other european countries such as Germany and Holland this genre of music has a massif 21 - 35 year old fan base. I honestly think a lot of you are getting confused between hardcore/gabber which is utter ****e and hardstyle, anyway I am more into trance music than any other sort of music period. What is peoples opinion of trance music?

Who like hardcore breaks?

That's rather stereotypical, no matter what kind of music event you go to it is full of drugs and scumbags, for me it's about the music and not the drugs.

And how may I ask do you know for a fact that I only listen to 'commercial bullshít'? I'd hardly call Bojan Zulfikarpasic's album Koreni, which is probably my favourite album, 'commercial bullshít'.

I personally don't really rate it, it could be a rung above hardstyle on the dance music quality ladder, but still below most other types of dance.

This is simply my personal opinion.

entropi

Hardstyle as in Showtek, Donkey Rollers and The Prophet among others? yeah i like some of their tunes, depending on the mood i'm in:)

Went to Planetlove this year to specifically see Lisa Lashes and Showtek in the GoodGrief tent...it was fun:D

p.s. i'm not 16, but 28 lol been listening to various dance since i was 13, and dont necessarily have a genre i do like whether its rock/metal, pop, rnb etc:pac:

Well I must admit, I used to hate hardstyle but I opened up to it and now I like it but only a select few Dj's/producers which would be yoji who in my opinion is a musical genius, cally and juice, andy whitby etc. Hate the likes of Alex Kidd, Kidd Chaos, Lisa Lashes and don't like any dutch hardstyle. I also love Techno, Drum and bass and House music but for me trance hits the spot!Can't ****ing stand that Tiesto bollix though:mad:

Again with the sweeping statements...show me one club in Dublin ((Arguably) The cultural centre of Ireland), that's dedicated to hardstyle, whereas I can list off loads which are dedicated to electro, electro-house and fidget, and a few that are dedicated to techno.

That may be true but there are numerous clubs around Ireland dedicated to hardstyle such as the zoo in Kilkenny and aurora, the temple in Carlow, GPO in Galway has it's fair share of hardstyle events, and it is also extremely popular up north, aswell as hardstyle club nights there are numerous hardstyle raves happening every year in Ireland such as kiddstock, Q dance, escape and the hard arena is packed to the gills every year at planetlove without fail. Almost any dj you meet these days plays hardstyle and I should know as I have been dj'ing the last six years although I play trance. I can guarantee you if you could find some polls on the net concerning irish peoples prefered choice of dance music the results would be hardstyle, it's so popular these days it's almost becoming mainstream.

That's it there though, it's not mainstream, whereas electro/fidget/electro-house is. I mean Crookers' Day 'n' Night was all over the radios, and they play Sidney Sampson - Riverside in all the mainstream clubs everywhere, and people like David Guetta and Armand van Helden enjoy definite mainstream success.
I'm not arguing that it's not popular, I'm just trying to get you to realise that it's not the most popular type of dance music in Ireland, (which you keep claiming it is), and more than likely won't be for a fair while, and possibly will never be.

I'm wondering would some people classify this kind of stuff as Hardstyle? Its more Ghetto/booty techno than the Hard Trance kind of stuff that I've heard from the likes of Yoji but i've heard it described as hardstyle.

I quite like hardstyle, the melodies and everything.

But i can see why anyone would think its talentless e music or whatever.

baaaa

Hardstyle is for kids and adults that are stupid,plain and simple.
The market caters for all.

No there fecking isn't, that's a ludicrous statement...

Where are the hardstyle events? Is there an Irish hardstyle forum? Any Hardstyle nights? Record shops selling Hardstyle? Hardstyle radio shows?

Never even seen a hardstyle record in Dublin (although in fairness I'll bet Abbey Discs probably would have stocked a bit of it), never heard of a regular Hardstyle night in the capital (although it's certainly conceivable that youth centres in places like Bray and Malahide might have the occasional under-18's one-off)...

If Hardstyle is so popular how come the only time anyone ever talks about it is when a thread on boards.ie gets made?

Don't quite know what hardstyle is, but I like gabber url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zr7LQ_s4A8]example 1[/url url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i782O8Pm45E]example 2[/url. Maybe they're similar.

hardstyle = hard house for girls and for people who are too old to keep up in the main room at a gabber rave

Jesus lads, somebody proclaims an interest in Hardstyle and he's jumped on and branded a teenager for listening to it. That's generalising -like only hairdressers listen to house music, only the tone deaf listen to techno etc etc.

Granted hardstyle mightn't have enough beeps and bleeps for most of ye, but there's no need to be so pious about it.

seannash

who dragged up this old thread anyway?

copeyhagen

used to dj ahrd house years ago. played on the radio for a good while playin it.

as i got older, my musical taste got older and at the time i moved onto prog. then techno, then tech house.
(i also like the smell of my own farts)

didnt think any1 still listened to that garbage now though. cant stand it myself..ashamed i once loved it!!

The problem wasn't that he was saying he liked it, he was saying it was the most popular dance music in Ireland. We can't have that kind of claim stand up on a fine forum like this.

Yes to all them questions actually!just because it isn't commercial it doesn't mean it's unpopular, there is a huge underground hardstyle scene fullstop. I'm not saying it is my favourite kind of music, yes I like it, i'm not big into it, I know loads who are but my point is that it is a lot more popular than you think and not just with pill filled teenagers. It is extremely popular worlwide, Qdance, Sensation Black, Thunderdome, Kiddstock.. They are all massif ****ing events!And when you say it isn't the most popular type of dance music in Ireland at the moment, that is true when you are referring to mainstream but undergound it's huge.

I love Hardstyle. Dances such as Hardjump (A faster,harder version of jumpstyle)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOe38akbsmo

and the Melbourne shuffle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPaMdxC6CQI

are great with Hardstyle.

I wish they would play hardstyle at the discos I go to but what can you expect at a disco for 14-15 year olds:mad::(

It seems you don't understand what "the most popular type of dance music in Ireland" means...It means the type of dance music which the most people like. Which isn't hardstyle. Underground just means it's not very popular.

im not tryin to be smart, im guessin ur fairly young, and when i was ur age i had the most diverse ****ed up interests in music (oldskool dance like cosmic baby) as far as scooter and ultra sonic

but this whole jumping around lark to cheese does nothing for me. (no offence mate)

but the track from 5.20 to 6.00 in that video is actually fairly decent. im drawn to that melody!

everyone go check out it out

I've kinda moved away from Jumpstyle (and most of the people I know that do Jumpstyle) and more into the Shuffle but I still kinda like Jumpstyle but not as much as the Shuffle

VinylJunkie

Fair play to you for getting into it but I guarantee you by the time your 21 your taste will change dramatically.

electrogrimey

Back in my (not so long ago) day, the dance people listened to when they were 13/14 was Scooter and DJ Cammy and that awful stuff, so I assume this is just the modern equivalent, and that anyone of that age listening to Hardstyle won't be listening to it in 5 years. What I don't believe/understand is that there is a large fanbase of 20/30 year olds listening to it too...It truly is awful...

In all seriousness though, you and others like to have a good laugh about HCB which is no priblem but you clearly know fcuk all about it, like it or lump it, there is a HCB scene with many labels and releases to date,people can say otherwise all they want but are talking through their hole basically

Many large rave promotions now include hardcore breaks on the line up and it is recognised as its own entity.
